Brock Bowers in the NFL Draft: Favorite emerges for Georgia TE with sports bettors
Brock Bowers has looked NFL-ready since he burst on the college football scene in 2021. Thursday night, Bowers is expecting to hear his name called in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
While many storylines in the leadup to Thursday night focus on the top quarterback and wide receiver prospects, there’s plenty of interest surrounding which team will select Bowers.
BetMGM shared data with Saturday Down South that reveals the favorite to land Bowers. The New York Jets, who select at No. 10, have the top odds and are receiving the most action.
The Jets, currently priced at +145, have the most Bowers bets for the most money at BetMGM. Just over 25% of tickets for which team to select Bowers are on the Jets for 40% of the handle (money bet). The Jets are the biggest liability for the book when it comes to bets on Bowers’ draft destination.
- Highest Ticket% of Brock Bowers bets: Jets 25.6%
- Highest Handle% of Brock Bowers bets: Jets 40.0%
- Biggest Liability for DraftKings: Jets
If the Jets pick Bowers, a $100 bet at the current odds would win $150 for a payout of $250. Here’s a look at BetMGM odds for the top teams to draft Bowers:
- New York Jets +145
- Indianapolis Colts +350
- Cincinnati Bengals +900
- Chicago Bears +1000
- Los Angeles Chargers +1000
States: OH, MA, MD, LA, CO, IN, IA, MI, NJ, PA, TN, WV, VA, AZ

All up to Aaron Rodgers?
While the Jets are the favorite to pick Bowers, it appears to be far from certain. The implied probability of +145 odds is 40.82%.
During a recent appearance on “SportsCenter,” ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler shared that Bowers to the Jets may come down to whether Aaron Rodgers gets his wish for 2024.
“He’s the top tight end in the draft,” Fowler said of Bowers, “but it’s hard to peg where he’s going to go exactly because he’s largely considered a top-10 type player but when I talk to teams, some of them are skeptical of whether he actually goes in that range or does he fall back to say the Colts at 15, the Bengals at 18?
“So, he’ll go fairly high in the first round, but he might not be that slam dunk, top-10 player. A lot depends on the Jets because they’ve got Aaron Rodgers, they are all in for 2024. So, if they’re doing the long play they might take an offensive tackle or something that’s not as sexy and play for the long future, but they’re all in now so if Rodgers wants a tight end, he might get his guy.”
We’ll see how it all plays out Thursday night.
Hope not.
Idk, if he’s not going to the falcons, then why not the Jets? Be a top-10 pick, living in NYC would be pretty fun right out of college, big market, get to play with AR a year or two.
And selfishly would give me a reason to watch a Jets game, a team I have absolutely no interest in otherwise.
The Jets front office might be the worst in the NFL. But, I really don’t care that much. Barring a miracle, the next time I see Brock on the field I will be pulling against him.
The idiot Falcons would have a chance to draft Bowers but signed Charlie Worner several months ago. They could still draft him if they would only occasionally draft UGA players, which they hate to do.

Well that’s a shame but glad my Titans won’t take him
I see him going somewhere in the first round but first top ten picks? lol No. And that’s mainly due to the position. The last TE first round pick who became an All-Pro was 2003, Dallas Clark of the Colts. Not widely considered to be a high priority position, like QB, WR, pass rusher, tackle or cornerback. Brock is favored to be drafted outside the top ten via BetMGM. Wish him luck. If I were to guess, maybge the Jets, but I’d hope for the Bengals over any other on that list.
