Bettors celebrate tickets with odds as long as +8,500 on Atlanta to select the University of Washington quarterback months after signing Kirk Cousins in free agency.
The NFL Draft went as expected for quite some time, until the eighth overall pick was announced for the Atlanta Falcons.
Penix Jr. saw his draft stock rise after a strong performance in a Sugar Bowl win over Texas during the 2024 College Football Playoff. Sports bettors who wagered Penix to be drafted eighth overall can celebrate after hitting on There are several viral wagers surrounding Penix Jr. and his longshot odds to be selected eighth overall. A FanDuel Sportsbook customer placed a $20 wager on Penix to be taken with the eighth overall pick at +8,500. This longshot bet netted a total return of $1,720.
Cousins has been one of the most accurate quarterbacks in the league during his recent tenure with the Minnesota Vikings. Atlanta’s offense is loaded with several top-tier weapons like Kyle Pitts, Drake London, and Bijan Robinson, so the betting favorites to be selected by the Falcons were edge rushers like Dallas Turner, who wound up as short as +170 during the hours leading up to the draft.
