The Cincinnati Bengals are heavy favorites to draft LSU Heisman winner Joe Burrow.

According to odds from Fox Bet, the Bengals are currently at -1200 to draft the former LSU superstar quarterback. The Detroit Lions are second at +650. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

I’m not sure how anybody could think the Bengals are going to draft anybody other than Burrow. He’s obviously going to be Cincy’s pick.

The writing has been on the wall for months, and it would be absolutely shocking at this point if any other team traded up to get him.

The Bengals desperately need a quarterback, Burrow is the reigning Heisman winner and he’s from Ohio. It’s simply makes too much sense.

The Dolphins were the one team people seemed to think would seriously try to move up to get Burrow, but that doesn’t seem likely to happen at all.

I don’t even really understand why the Lions are second. Why the hell would we trade up from three to one to draft Burrow?

That’s not going to happen. You’d have to be living in fantasyland to think the Lions are going to make that move.

The draft gets underway April 23 in Las Vegas. I’d bet just about anything Joe Burrow is a member of the Bengals by the end of the night.
