Is your team involved in the “Suck For Luck Sweepstakes?” Teams are jockeying for position right now for the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft, and courtesy of BetOnline Sportsbook, you can bet on which team will finish with the worst record in football this year and claim arguably the second biggest prize in the NFL!

Right now, the team with the inside track to the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft is the Indianapolis Colts (Odds To Win the No. 1 Pick in the NFL Draft: 2.65 to 1 @ BetOnline Sportsbook). And why not? The Colts are the only team that is 0-6 in football right now, and without QB Peyton Manning making any signs of a comeback in the near future, there is no reason to think that there are that many wins in this team’s future. The bad news is that there are two games against Jacksonville still to come, and the AFC South is putrid this year. Parlay that with the fact that the Colts have been relatively competitive over the course of the last five weeks, and the makings might be there for a few more wins than we need for them to finish the job this year.

There’s no team that needs to win the Suck For Luck Sweepstakes more than the Miami Dolphins (Odds To Win Suck For Luck Sweepstakes: 3.00 to 1 @ BetOnline Sportsbook). The Dolphins were ready to exile QB Chad Henne at the start of the year, and now that he is on injured reserve, he has surely thrown his final pass for the team. QB Matt Moore takes over now, and he was the man who helped bring Carolina to the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft as well. We know that he is more than qualified for the job to make Miami an 0-16 team. The AFC East is a bear, unlike the AFC South, and more importantly, whomever the next head coach is (because we know that Tony Sparano is a lame duck) is going to need a new face of the franchise to bring into Miami’s new stadium next year. Andrew Luck is the perfect face for this team, and there is no team that will be hurt more by not having the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft than the Fins.

The St. Louis Rams (Odds To Win the No. 1 Pick in the NFL Draft: 3.40 to 1 @ BetOnline Sportsbook) are the other winless team in the league right now at 0-5, and they are the only one of the bunch to be a not-so-perfect 0-5 ATS as well. QB Sam Bradford is banged up, but the team is clearly making an effort at winning. Picking up WR Brandon Lloyd will only help this offense, so we’re not all that sure, especially with the majority of last year’s 7-9 team still together, if this team will ultimately have enough losses to be considered the worst team in football.

Finally, keep an eye out for the (Minnesota Vikings Odds To Win the No. 1 Pick in the NFL Draft: 6.50 to 1 @ BetOnline Sportsbook). The Vikes only have one win, and they are turning the football over to QB Christian Ponder, presumably for the rest of the year. Unless Ponder is absolutely atrocious, we don’t see Minnesota taking Luck with the top pick in the draft, but what we do see is a team that is willing to make amends for the horrible Herschel Walker deal that it made with the Dallas Cowboys all those years ago that helped build that dynasty. Again, we have to remember that there are still two games with the Green Bay Packers and one with the Detroit Lions left, games which are basically guaranteed losses. Things aren’t getting any better this year for the Vikes, and their win tally at the end of the year should show it.

The 2011 NFL Draft is just about here, and here at Bankroll Sports, we’re analyzing the best NFL Draft props on the board so you can cash in on the most exciting offseason event for the boys on the gridiron!

Quarterbacks Drafted in the First Round Over Under 3.5

It’s a lock that both Blaine Gabbert and Cam Newton will be selected in the Top 10 and Jake Locker will almost assuredly go in the first round as well. That means that either Christian Ponder, Andy Dalton, Colin Kaepernick, or Ryan Mallett needs to be taken in the first round as well to win this NFL Draft bet. No one would be particularly surprised to see any of these players taken at the back end of the first round, with the most likely candidates being Ponder or Dalton. In particular, many NFL experts like Vic Carucci believe that Ponder will be taken by the end of the first round, probably by a team with a quarterback need trading back up. Gil Brandt recently highlighted that the Cincinnati Bengals brought in both Dalton and Ponder for private workouts and will look into selecting one of them as well. Go with Over 3.5 Quarterbacks Drafted in Round 1, -170 @ BetOnline

Jake Locker Position Drafted Over/Under 23.5

A few weeks ago, some thought that Locker would slip out of the first round, but recently, Locker has been getting a great deal of love from teams in desperate need of a quarterback such as the Minnesota Vikings and Washington Redskins. With Newton and Gabbert off the board early, teams could get into a scramble to take the third-best quarterback on most team’s boards. Locker was seen as a potential #1 overall pick before the start of the 2010 college football season, but Washington’s offense struggled and Locker’s stock fell over questions about his accuracy and ability to succeed at the next level. However, smart teams have noted that Locker did not have many underneath routes to help his completion percentage at the college ranks and this affected perception. The 49ers, Vikings, Redskins, Dolphins, and Jaguars could also conceivably take Locker in their draft positions and a team might be likely to trade up to grab him as well. Locker Under Draft Position 23.5, -130 @ BetOnline is a mortal lock with all of these teams interested.

AJ Green’s Position Drafted Over/Under 4.5

Virtually every mock draft in the world has Green going to the Bengals with the 4th overall pick and it’s hard to fault their logic. With Carson Palmer threatening to retire, the loss of Terrell Owens, and Chad Ochocinco continuing to cause problems, a standout wide receiver may convince Palmer to stay. Green is the best receiver in the draft and has amazing physical tools, including a set of hands that will already be among the best in the league upon his entry. Someone could be trading up into the Top 5 to snare a tremendous physical specimen as well. One of the top four teams will take him, so for your NFL Draft picks, take Green Under Draft Position 4.5, -155 @ BetOnline.

Total Players Drafted in the First Round from the ACC Over/Under 5

The juice is pretty high on this prop, but it’s as close to a lock as you’re going to get. There are only three consensus first round picks from the ACC: North Carolina’s Robert Quinn, Boston College’s Anthony Castonzo, and Clemson’s Da’Quan Bowers. After that there are a number of players that are potential first round picks, such as Miami’s Brandon Harris, Florida State’s Christian Ponder, and North Carolina’s Marvin Austin. However, the chances of Austin getting into the first round are minimal at best, and although Ponder has a decent chance at being a first round selection, Harris is a coin flip. The worst case scenario should see exactly five ACC players taken in the first round which would be a push on the bet. This looks to be one of the easier NFL Draft props this year, so go with the ACC Under 5 First Round Draft Picks, -200 @ BetOnline.

Which Side of the Ball With the No. 11 Picks in the Draft Be From?

Many bettors will be turned off by the high juice on this prop, but the Houston Texans come into this draft needing defense in the worst way. Houston had one of the most porous secondaries in the history of the NFL in 2010 and would love to get their hands on Patrick Peterson or Prince Amukamara to give itself a shutdown corner for the next decade. If both of these players are gone, expect the Texans to take a defensive end/linebacker type such as Robert Quinn since they are switching to the 3-4 this season. Julio Jones is an outside possibility at this slot, but that assumes that Jones falls this far and that the Texans pass on such glaring needs over another wide receiver. Really, the only way that this bet loses is if the Texans trade the pick. There’s at least an 85 percent chance that the 11th NFL Draft pick goes on the Defense, -500 @ BetOnline.
