Lions Set at No. 17: Draft Timing Shifts and Odds for 2026 First Round

The 2026 NFL Draft kicks off with the Detroit Lions holding the No. 17 overall pick. After the NFL reduced the first-round clock from 10 to 8 minutes, Detroit’s latest possible selection is around 10:16 p.m. ET, though teams typically take about seven minutes. Past No. 17 picks have landed between 9:59 and 10:09 p.m. ET, so the Lions could be on the clock roughly 9:59–10:09 p.m. ET if they stay at No. 17. FanDuel’s odds for No. 17 include Kadyn Proctor, Spencer Fano, Monroe Freeling, Vega Ioane, Blake Miller, and Keldric Faulk, though those bets refer to No. 17, not necessarily the Lions. Bet responsibly.

FanDuel Eyes Prediction Markets to Expand Its Betting Empire

FanDuel Eyes Prediction Markets to Expand Its Betting Empire

FanDuel is expanding into prediction markets with FanDuel Predicts, now live in 16 states via a CME Group derivatives framework, as it seeks growth beyond traditional sports betting. Prediction markets are regulated as trading products by the CFTC rather than gambling, allowing wider access across states, but the move comes amid scrutiny over insider trading and societal impacts of wagering on politics or other real-world events. FanDuel says it will avoid high-risk bets (like elections or death) and remains focused on a sports-centric experience while expanding its addressable market.

Wolverines Favored by 9.5 in MSU Rematch as NCAA Seed Quest Heats Up

Michigan is a 9.5-point favorite over Michigan State in Sunday's rematch with the over/under set at 150.5 per FanDuel SportsBook. The Wolverines, fresh off securing the Big Ten title, aim to reinforce a potential 1-seed and even the head-to-head balance against Izzo (now 2-1 in their matchups). MSU has won five straight since the earlier loss to Michigan, which edged the Spartans 83-71 after a stifling first half. The game carries in-state bragging rights and a chance for Michigan to extend its conference and NCAA seeding position while MSU looks to pull off the upset.

Flutter's FanDuel Misses Q4 Targets, Guides Softer 2026 Revenue

Flutter Entertainment reported a Q4 2025 miss across most metrics, with revenue of $4.74B (vs. $4.97B expected), adjusted EPS of $1.74 (vs. $1.95), and EBITDA of $832M (vs. $893M). Revenue rose 25% year over year, but 2026 revenue guidance of $17.75B–$19.05B came in below consensus. CEO Peter Jackson cited tougher bettor conditions and said prediction markets could spur legalization, while there was no evidence of sportsbook cannibalization. Shares fell about 7% after hours.

Major Sports Teams End Contracts with FanDuel and Main Street Sports

Nine Major League Baseball teams, including the Detroit Tigers, have ended their contracts with FanDuel Sports due to financial uncertainties surrounding Main Street Sports, FanDuel's parent company, which is facing bankruptcy risks. The league is considering taking over broadcasts to avoid revenue loss, and teams are exploring options like moving broadcasts to MLB Media or other buyers like DAZN or FUBO. The situation creates uncertainty for future broadcasting deals and free agent negotiations, but teams may re-sign with FanDuel if issues are resolved.

ESPN Bet's Exit and DraftKings' New Sportsbook Partnership

Media-branded sportsbooks like ESPN Bet and others have struggled to gain traction in the competitive U.S. sports betting market, with many failing despite heavy promotion and brand ties, highlighting the dominance of established players like DraftKings and FanDuel. ESPN Bet, launched in 2023, has only captured about 3% of the market, far below its target, due to overestimating the influence of media branding and viewer trust. The industry is shifting towards partnerships with existing successful sportsbooks, such as ESPN's new deal with DraftKings, which will continue to operate under its own name.
