The 2023 NFL Draft Combine takes place this week in Indianapolis, and while the event isn't anything like a real game, bettors can still get action down by wagering on select props for the combine's events.From a fan perspective, the 40-yard dash is arguably the most appealing event to watch Wendell Carter Jersey , and you can make the event even more interesting if you opt to wager on this year's crop of speedsters.DraftKings Sportsbook recently posted two 40-yard dash-centric markets, so we're going to look at both and see if any worthwhile betting opportunities arise.2023 NFL Combine 40-yard dash oddsOdds courtesy of DraftKings SportsbookAnyone to break the Coby White Jersey 40-yard dash combine record (4.22 seconds)?YesNo+400-650As the odds suggest, chances are John Ro s' 201740-yard time of 4.22 seconds won't be broken this year, with a -650 price(implied probability 86.67 percent) on the "no." While Ro s had a productive collegiate career at Washington, he catapulted into the top 10 in the '17 thanks in large part to his record time. Who will be this year's biggest rise via their 40-time?There are certainly some speedsters who could make things interesting and boost their draft stock in the proce s. Texas A&M's Devon Achane ran a 6.63 second 60 meter for the Aggies' track team last year and appears to be the biggest Toni Kukoc Jersey threat to challenge Ro s' record.Mamma, there goes that man 6.63 (PR) | Texas A&M Track & Field/Cro s Country (@aggietfxc) Then there's Cincinnati WR Tyler Scott, who ran a 4.29 40 last spring. Scott, alongside fellow WRs Derius Davis (TCU) and Jalin Hyatt (Tenne see), are the top contenders to run the fastest 40 times in their position group. Tomas Satoransky Jersey If you mi s out on Jalin Hyatt in the first round, Cincy WR Tyler Scott is the man you want on Day 2Ran a 4.29 40 with a 40.5" vert and 11' broad last spring according to and it shows on tape Mike Renner (@PFF_Mike) So, should you bet on Ro s' 4.22 40-yard dash record to be topped?SN's advice:While a +400 payday on the "yes" cashing is enticing Zach Norvell Jr. Jersey , it's unlikely anyone ends up breaking Ro s' record this year. We also wouldn't lay -650 to bet against any of these speedsters, so we'd pa s on betting this prop and focus our attention on the over/under for the fastest 40-time.Fastest 40-yard dash timeOVER 4.275 secondsUNDER 4.275 seconds-120-110With Scott running a 4.29 40 time last spring, he's certainly capable of running a sub-4 Michael Jordan Jersey .275 40 at the combine.Davis could also run a sub-4.275 40, as he was clocked with an in-game speed of 22.7 MPH, according to Reel Analytics.Here are a few of the NFL Combine participants in-game max speed expected to run a fast 40.Derius Davis 22.7 mphKeaton Mitchell 22.6 mphJahmyr Gibbs 22.3 mphDevon Achane 22.2mphAndrei Iosivas 22.2 mphTrey Palmer 20.6 mph Reel Analytics (@RAanalytics) East Carolina RB Keaton Mithcell and Alabama RB Jahmyr Gibbs weren't far behind Davis' top Ryan Arcidiacono Jersey speed, so both RBs are also in the conversation to run asub-4.275.Last year, WRs Tyquan Thornton and Chris Olave both ran unofficial sub-4.275 40's, but their official times came in higher with Olave clocking in with a 4.39 and Thornton a 4.28. We'll see if any of this year's draft hopefuls show Adam Mokoka Jersey out and run a blazing 40-time.SN's advice: There aren't many who would enjoy wagering on OVER 4.275 seconds while sweating out each player's 40 times, and we're not one of them. We'll take our chances on either Davis, Scott, Achane, or Gibbs running a sub-4.275, so give us the UNDER! |
