In line with this, the sports betting industry has suffered a lot, resulting in a reasonable decline in profits. Not only that, but many bettors are a bit dismayed as they can’t wager for these types of sports.
While it’s true that the Coronavirus outbreak affects all of us, the sports industry has a lot more to offer. In fact, the 2020 NFL draft season is coming up in the next few weeks to seed and name eligible teams and players to be part of next year’s NFL season.

To give you a little hype in this upcoming event, here are the top five teams that will have a better opportunity of picking the best players which may be part of their NFL draft prop bets at Fanduel this year.

They are part of the AFC (American Football Conference) representing the North Division. Their regular opponents every year are the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns, and Baltimore Ravens.
Joe Burrow is the reason why the Cincinnati Bengals are highly favored this year for the NFL draft. He plays the quarterback position, which ended his last season with flying colors. Burrow recorded a total of 60 touchdowns, and 5,600 yard passes. He is also one of the most highly recognized players in this year’s NFL and will play as one of the senior players for the Bengals.
Washington Redskins
With Ron Rivera as their newest coach, it seems that the Washington Redskins are riding the right ship in the upcoming NFL season. They are taking the second spot for the 2020 NFL draft amidst the fact that they ranked bottom at the start of the drafting season. The Washington Redskins are part of the NFC representing the East Division.
Dwayne Haskins, who was the 15th pick in last year’s NFL mock draft, continues to give pride for this team. Although last year he struggled a lot as a rookie player for the Redskins, he seems to be finding his comfort zone this year. Also, the Redskins might surprisingly draft Tua Tagovailoa as their quarterback player during the drafting process.
