2025 NFL Draft and Odds From BetOnline: Carter, Hunter, Ward

The map below is based on geotagged X data in the last week (including the combine), tracking tweets, hashtags and direct keyword phrases about who will be the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.  Don't forget, you can place all your NFL Draft bets at BetOnline here.

For example, "Cam Ward will be the #1 pick," "Ward will be the first pick," "Carter will be the #1 pick," "Travis Hunter will be the #1 pick," etc. More than 110,000 tweets were tracked.

As you can see from the map, three players dominate the conversation. Cam Ward (Miami), Abdul Carter (Penn State), and Travis Hunter (Colorado). No other player beat out one of those three in any state.

This is especially relevant as we just came out of the NFL combine over the weekend.

It seems NFL fans are somewhat split on who will go #1, with many believing it is between Ward and Carter.

Here's the state breakdown:

• Cam Ward - 24 states                  (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota,Mississippi, Montana, NH, NJ, NY, NC, ND Ohio, SC, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia)
• Abdul Carter - 19 states              (Alaska, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, RI, Washington, WV, Wisconsin)
• Travis Hunter - 7 states               (Arkansas, Colorado, Nebraska, NM, SD, Utah, Wyoming)
