LAS VEGAS — We interrupt the NBA and NHL playoffs to bring you the best NFL futures bets you can make right now.

A week after the NFL draft, VSiN host Mike Somich and professional handicapper Steve Fezzik have already placed some wagers they believe have value.

“Whenever I’m looking for these futures bets to play, the main goal is to (pick) the best time to play those numbers,” said Somich (@Somobomb18). “If I believe I’m going to get in at the best of it, that’s when I’ll attack these futures markets this far in advance.”

Lions to win NFC North, +145

Somich bet on the Detroit Lions to win the NFC North at +160 and +150. The Lions are still available at +145 at Caesars Sportsbook.

Defending division champion Detroit drafted Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold with the 24th overall pick and selected Missouri cornerback Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the second round.

“I love what they did in the draft,” Somich said. “Last year, Detroit’s secondary woes were well documented and they addressed that in spades. (Arnold) was my top-ranked cornerback on the board and will fit this defense perfectly.”

Jaguars to win AFC South, +285

Somich also backed Jacksonville to win the AFC South. The Jaguars, who drafted Louisiana State wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. at 23rd overall, are the +285 second choice at Caesars behind Houston.

“Both of those divisions have teams that are overvalued with the Packers and Bears in the NFC North and with the Texans in the AFC South,” Somich said.
