There’s mounting evidence Texans may get gift from football gods on Draft night!
As the NFL Draft grows closer and closer, we would like to think we're seeing some clarity with what teams are going to do at the top of the draft.
But this week, Will Levis' draft stock is skyrocketing! Not only is he the favorite to go No. 2 overall, he's now the second-favorite to go No. 1 behind Bryce Young. Below our the latest odds for Levis to go No. 1.
Per ProFootbballTalk:
At FanDuel, Levis went from 50-1 to 5-1; Young is at -1200. DraftKings has Levis at 7-1, while Young remains at -1600. PointsBet had Levis go from 50-1 to 20-1 to 10-1. BetMGM took down its draft odds.
Could the Panthers actually be interested in drafting Levis first, leaving Young on the board for Houston?

Oswald Peraza hit a two-run single in the ninth inning to help the Los Angeles Angels snap a three-game losing skid by beating the Houston Astros 4-1 on Saturday night.
Peraza entered the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and hit a bases-loaded fly ball to deep right field that eluded the outstretched glove of Cam Smith. It was the fourth straight hit off Astros closer Bryan Abreu (3-4), who had not allowed a run in his previous 12 appearances.
The Angels third run of the ninth inning scored when Mike Trout walked with the bases loaded.
Kyle Hendricks allowed one run while scattering seven hits over six innings. He held the Astros to 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position, the one hit coming on Jesús Sánchez’s third-inning infield single that scored Jeremy Peña.
Reid Detmers worked around a leadoff walk to keep the Astros scoreless in the seventh, and José Fermin (3-2) retired the side in order in the eighth before Kenley Jansen worked a scoreless ninth to earn his 24th save.
Houston’s Spencer Arrighetti struck out a season-high eight batters over 6 1/3 innings. The only hit he allowed was Zach Neto’s third-inning solo home run.
Yordan Alvarez had two hits for the Astros, who remained three games ahead of Seattle for first place in the AL West.
