We have not had North American sports since seasons were cancelled during that week of March 11th — March 13th. Partially as a result of that drought, and partially because of questions surrounding Tua Tagovailoa, this year’s NFL Draft figures to be one of the most-watched one in recent history.
And, hey, if we’re going to speculate, why not put some money on line...even if it’s not something you’d normally wager upon. I know I’ll play along this year, because (and I don’t know about you,) after five weeks of stay-at-home, I could do with a little adrenaline rush anyway.
From www.SportsBettingDime.com, here are the prop bets for Alabama Crimson Tide players...and just a dash of whimsy from Odds Shark.
Big shout-out to SBD, for generating Alabama-specific props for me to share with you guys.
