The NFL Draft 2025 is big on “beef and potatoes” as one NFL exec stated. With no clear high-profile quarterback projected to go number one overall, and no wide receiver or running back destined for that historical pick, an offensive tackle appears to be the right move. After four straight years of a marquee quarterback going number one overall, this year could see three offensive tackles in the top 10 picks. The Kansas City Chiefs have the number one pick of this year’s NFL draft, and have openly talked about trading down, but if they do pick first, Texas A&M tackle Luke Joeckel is about the surest thing in a draft which is filled with question marks.

The poor NFL replacement refs working in place of striking seasoned officials have had their day in the sun, and it wasn’t a pretty one. Here is what happened. Vegas odds on the Seattle Seahawks playing at home against the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football this week showed Seattle as a 3 point underdog going into the contest. That was even though Green Bay and Aaron Rodgers have struggled in this early NFL season. Also, Seattle has been impressive in MNF games, is very strong as a home underdog the last couple of years and plays well at home. Despite those clues that Seattle would cover against the spread at home against Green Bay, many bettors around the globe put their money down on Green Bay to get back on track with a big win on the road. But with 8 seconds remaining in the game and trailing 12 – 7, Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson threw what was ruled on the field as a touchdown pass to wide receiver Golden Tate as time expired, and the Seattle faithful at CenturyLink Field exploded in celebration.
