Most of your bets will be settled within the first two hours of Day 1 of the NFL draft. Hopefully, that also applies to our favorite bets to be picked in the top 32. However, there's also a surefire way to keep your attention locked in through the final picks of the first round. One of those ways is to identify the players who could shockingly have their names called Thursday night.

There's at least one surprise in the first round every year. The Raiders selected Alex Leatherwood on Day 1 in 2021, despite most draftniks believing he'd be around for Day 2.

Here are the players who oddsmakers don't expect to be selected Thursday night. They could offer a nice return if we can identify which ones might sneak their way into the top 32.

1st-round draft pick odds

PLAYER	POSITION	ODDS
Lewis Cine	S	+120
Tyler Smith	OL	+120
Travis Jones	DT	+125
Logan Hall	DE	+130
Bernhard Raimann	OT	+135
Kaiir Elam	CB	+135
Skyy Moore	WR	+140
Breece Hall	RB	+145
George Pickens	WR	+150
Roger McCreary	CB	+150
Kyler Gordon	CB	+150
David Ojabo	EDGE	+200
Quay Walker	LB	+200
Drake Jackson	EDGE	+225
Daniel Faalele	OT	+225
Jaquan Brisker	S	+250
Kenneth Walker	RB	+300
DeMarvin Leal	DE	+300
Jalen Pitre	S	+300
Tariq Woolen	CB	+300
Christian Harris	ILB	+350
Troy Anderson	LB	+350
Chad Muma	ILB	+400
Trey McBride	TE	+400
Isaiah Spiller	RB	+500
Abraham Lucas	OT	+500
Darian Kinnard	G	+500
Perrion Winfrey	DT	+500
Jalen Tolbert	WR	+550
Carson Strong	QB	+650
Justyn Ross	WR	+650
John Metchie	WR	+650
James Cook	RB	+1600

Teams with two first-round picks - with one coming in the teens or later - are more likely to reach off the board in the opening round. The thinking is that those clubs won't take the same heat as if they were going all-in on a reach if they're more conservative with their first selection.

Here are some teams that are candidates to reach with two first-rounders and their positional needs:

TEAM	1ST-ROUND PICKS	NEED
Texans	3 / 13	OL/DL/DB
Eagles	15 / 18	WR/DB
Saints	16 / 19	QB/OL/WR/DB
Packers	22 / 28	WR/OL/LB/CB
Chiefs	29 / 30	WR/DL/LB/CB

Each one of these clubs also has at least one pick in the second round, which might make them less likely to reach. The Chiefs and Packers have two selections in the second round, meaning they could fill depth with those picks and take a big swing in Round 1. The Texans are also a wild card at this point, a la the Raiders of years past.

Best value bets

David Ojabo (+200)

Talent evaluators don't seem to care about Ojabo tearing his Achilles at the NFL combine. He's got first-round ability and production. A team could stash this quality player at a key position if they have some extra draft capital - like Kansas City does - and are willing to wait a year.

Jalen Pitre (+300)

After Kyle Hamilton, the second safety coming off the board is anyone's guess. Since Hamilton will go first, there's no fun in the "first safety drafted." However, taking the best price among a positional group is a good strategy. The hard part is deciding whether Pitre is the next safety picked and if that happens in the first round. The Baylor product's talent and ability to alter a game is undeniable.

Perrion Winfrey (+500)

Winfrey has a particular skill set as a 3-4 defensive tackle prospect. The Oklahoma product's explosiveness off the ball might be enough to get a team that runs the same scheme to take a shot on him since clubs are now placing importance on getting pressure via the interior.

Carson Strong (+650)

It's unlikely Strong gets picked in the first round. But choosing the Nevada quarterback would give a team a fifth year on the entry-level contract to develop a prospect who was a projected first-rounder going into last season. All it takes for a big price to cash late in Round 1 is a general manager believing Strong is the most attractive option among a group of quarterbacks with shorter odds.

Top NFL draft prospect David Ojabo suffered a torn Achilles during his Michigan pro day Friday, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The linebacker was widely expected to be a first-round selection following a standout career with the Wolverines.

Ojabo's doctors "expect a full and complete recovery" with a projected timeline of around six months, writes Schefter.

The 21-year-old pass-rusher expressed optimism about his recovery in a tweet Friday:

God got me!! ima be back stronger than ever🖤all part of my story.
— KingJabo👑 (@DavidOjabo) March 18, 2022

Ojabo was a key part of the defense that led Michigan to the first playoff appearance in program history and the first Big Ten championship of the Jim Harbaugh era last season. He ranked second on the team in sacks (11) and tackles for loss (12).

He boosted his draft stock even further with a strong performance at the NFL Scouting Combine in March, highlighted by a 4.55-second 40-yard dash.

Ojabo was born in Nigeria and raised in Scotland. He only began playing football a few years before arriving at Ann Arbor.

Ojabo's injury may not substantially diminish his draft value. Former Vanderbilt pass-rusher Dayo Odeyingbo - who was also viewed as a possible first-rounder - tore his Achilles in January 2021, but the Indianapolis Colts selected him in the second round.

The real battle Friday night will happen between your viewing needs and social obligations, as the CFP semifinals land on New Year's Eve for the first time since 2016.

While you can comfortably watch the Cotton Bowl without an eye on the clock, the Orange Bowl will need to be a true classic for it to be worth the relationship strife.

Jim Harbaugh's Michigan makes its long-awaited debut in the College Football Playoff, and its reward is a date with Georgia - the undisputed best team in college football this season prior to being punched in the mouth in the SEC championship game. Was the Bulldogs' loss simply a one-off, or an indication they're not as good as we once thought?

Michigan vs. Georgia (-7.5, 45)

Line movement

Outside of making a few appearances at -8.5, this line has mostly remained steady at -7.5 for Georgia. In a few locations, the line dipped to -7 overnight on Wednesday only to pop back up to -7.5. The total opened low at 43 and has quietly risen to 45 in the last week.

Michigan's offense vs. Georgia's defense

Georgia does what Michigan does, only better.

Hassan Haskins and Blake Corum have been the key to the Wolverines offensively, but they will run into a literal wall by the name of Jordan Davis on Friday night. The core of the outstanding Bulldogs' defensive line is not something Michigan has had to deal with in games against Iowa and Ohio State - their last two significant matchups.

I backed Michigan in the Big Ten championship, and Iowa's vaunted run defense simply couldn't prevent the big play. Georgia's defense - which gave up the third-fewest yards per carry and yards per game - takes it personally if you go anywhere near the end zone, giving up just three rushing touchdowns this season. The next lowest total was six (Texas A&M).

Georgia's defense got a dose of reality in the SEC championship game, but it wasn't the first time Alabama exposed some weaknesses in a very good team, nor will it be the last. Having Bryce Young is going to help with that. For as good as Cade McNamara has been in commanding one of the nation's most efficient offenses, he doesn't provide the same consistent threat down the field that can beat the Bulldogs.

Georgia's offense vs. Michigan's defense

For all the criticism Stetson Bennett endured after a subpar SEC championship game, his statistics are virtually the same as McNamara's. The thing that hurt Bennett is he wasn't able to keep up with Young. Hours later, anything McNamara did looked good in comparison to the horrific Iowa offense.

Obviously, the Wolverines' defense has proven its worth, with Aidan Hutchinson getting a front-row seat at the Heisman ceremony as the runner-up and David Ojabo scheduling team meetings at the quarterback with him. However, a defense that good is always going to look great against Iowa, Penn State, and other Big Ten teams not known for their offense.

Against Ohio State and their pass-happy offense, C.J. Stroud had 394 yards and two touchdowns, but Michigan was able to outscore the Buckeyes that day in Ann Arbor. They weren't quite able to outscore the Spartans in East Lansing, who got almost 200 yards on the ground and five touchdowns from Kenneth Walker.

Georgia is multi-dimensional and uses the mobility of Bennett, who is more willing and dangerous on the ground than both Stroud and the Spartans' Payton Thorne. Zamir White and James Cook provide equally dangerous options in the backfield.

The final wrinkle is the status of Dax Hill, who was reportedly left behind on the trip to Miami due to a COVID-19 issue. The star safety would theoretically play a major role in defending a key Georgia weapon - tight end Brock Bowers.

Special teams

Michigan has the highest-rated special teams unit in the country, according to Football Outsiders, in part thanks to Lou Groza Award winner Jake Moody, the nation's best kicker. Georgia is much closer to average in special teams, but Jack Podlesny made 18 of 22 field goals this season, so it's not an area of weakness, either.

How to bet the game

Somewhere along the way from being touchdown favorites vs. Alabama to losing to Nick Saban's juggernaut, Georgia seemed to lose its urgency. Perhaps beating the daylights out of every SEC opponent - and Clemson - was a bad thing? While it was nowhere to be found against 'Bama, the reality-inducing loss will certainly help the Bulldogs rediscover their sense of urgency.

A month of preparation for a team Georgia is better than should set Kirby Smart up for a rematch with Saban. Meanwhile, a lack of market faith for the Bulldogs' coach-and-quarterback combo or the always prevalent Michigan support might provide a flat 7 to bet on before kickoff. We'll wait for that, but will still back the Dawgs at the current price if it doesn't come. Expect them to hold the Wolverines' offense down in something resembling a 27-13 type of game.

Pick: Georgia -7.5 (look for -7 and play at -120 or better)

Upsets are the lifeblood of college sports until you wake up on a March morning and see the second-round matchups in the NCAA basketball tournament. That same feeling washed over me when the stark reality of a Michigan versus Iowa title hit home after Nebraska predictably choked, Michigan upset Ohio State, and Minnesota ruined Wisconsin's season. After the dusting of snow settled Saturday, we were left with a tough game to stomach in Indianapolis.

Forget a more tantalizing matchup with the Buckeyes' offense against the Badgers' defense. We now get a team built on running the football, playing solid defense, and finding an edge in special teams, against one that does all of those things but slightly better. Ugly football is on the menu for the Big Ten championship game, and we have no choice but to eat it.

Michigan offense vs. Iowa defense

Blake Corum carried the ball just enough to be a problem for the Buckeyes in Ann Arbor last weekend, while Hassan Haskins carried the ball way too much for Ohio State fans' liking.

Facing the Wolverines, who are ninth in rushing yards per game, Iowa's eighth-best rush defense - yards per carry - might have had a chance to buck up and slow down Michigan, especially in a December contest outdoors. Unfortunately, for the Hawkeyes, this game is in the comfortable confines and fast track of Lucas Oil Stadium, and they're getting the Marshawn Lynch treatment - Over ... and over ... and over ... and over - from Haskins and Corum on Saturday night, with either running back capable of cracking a big play.

That brings about the bigger issue for Iowa's defense: vulnerability to the play-action pass, and McNamara's ability to avoid big mistakes (three interceptions this season). Though the run defense has been reminiscent of the Hawkeyes' of old, they've given up 20-plus points to every team in the conference other than Northwestern and Maryland. The former is the worst team in the conference, and the Terrapins had 5.0 yards per play to Iowa's 5.4 in a game that ended 51-14 for the Hawkeyes.

Iowa offense vs. Michigan defense

Iowa's offense comes from their defense and special teams.

Call it impeccable game planning or magic, getting four touchdowns on defense and one on a kick return is remarkably clutch assistance for an offense that has seen two quarterbacks struggle.

Iowa is 121st in offensive yards per play in the country. The quarterback tandem of Spencer Petras (likely to return as the starter Saturday) and Alex Padilla have combined for 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions over 12 games this season. Now they have to deal with Aidan Hutchinson and David Ojabo. Best of luck.

So how have the Hawkeyes accumulated a 10-2 record? Avoiding Ohio State, Michigan, and Michigan State helped.

After a 4-0 start to the season with wins over Indiana and Iowa State that looked more impressive at the time, Iowa came back to beat Penn State following Sean Clifford's injury that kept him sidelined, and the Nittany Lions couldn't score in the second half. Then after losses to Purdue and Wisconsin, November consisted of close wins over Northwestern (17-12), Minnesota (27-22), and a comeback victory over Nebraska (28-21). The Hawkeyes' biggest win was a 33-23 win over Illinois, in which Iowa mustered just 3.6 yards per play.

The market

The betting market thinks Iowa should keep this close as published ticket counts indicate a fairly even split in public betting. However, I would need a team that I can rely on to score at least somewhat consistently, especially if they get down early.

While the line has held firm on its open at 10.5, to me, that only means there's some value on the favorite here. It's common theory to think a letdown is in order for Michigan after a program-inspiring win over their archrival last week. I might buy into that theory if a College Football Playoff spot wasn't on the line here for the Wolverines and/or if they came into this game as an underdog, a role Jim Harbaugh has struggled in, despite last week's breakthrough.

How to bet the Big Ten Championship

Getting over the Buckeye hump was the shot of life the Wolverines needed to run right through Iowa, who backed its way into the title game with a lot of good fortune this season. While I loathe laying a lot of points as a general policy, I can envision backing Iowa and feeling good about that right up until it's 14-3 in the second quarter, and it becomes clear the Hawkeyes may not score again.

Michigan takes an early lead, and Iowa can't keep up, on the way to a two-touchdown victory and a place in the College Football Playoff. I'll be looking to jump on any -10s that pop up but will back the Wolverines at -11 or better.

43:T1d16,

Michigan offense vs. Iowa defense

Blake Corum carried the ball just enough to be a problem for the Buckeyes in Ann Arbor last weekend, while Hassan Haskins carried the ball way too much for Ohio State fans' liking.

Iowa offense vs. Michigan defense

Iowa's offense comes from their defense and special teams.

Call it impeccable game planning or magic, getting four touchdowns on defense and one on a kick return is remarkably clutch assistance for an offense that has seen two quarterbacks struggle.

So how have the Hawkeyes accumulated a 10-2 record? Avoiding Ohio State, Michigan, and Michigan State helped.
