The race to go No. 1 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft appears to be over, at least according to sportsbooks.
Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward opened with the second-best odds (+450) to be the No. 1 pick at BetMGM last year and became the betting favorite a few months ago in early January. Former Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders opened as the favorite with +300 odds at BetMGM.
Ward passed Sanders as the betting favorite (-135 to Sanders' +100 in early January) and has slowly become a bigger betting favorite as the draft process has played out.
