NFL Combine 2025: Bet Big on the Slowest 40-yard Dash Time to Break Xavier Worthy's Record
Wanna bet on the NFL Scouting Combine? Get ready for some action-packed wagers! The 40-yard dash time, the highest vertical jump, and more props are waiting for you at Bovada Sportsbook.
Despite the whispers, it ain't happening. The -1200 odds say that Xavier Worthy's record time (4.21 seconds) will NOT be broken at this year's Combine. But let's see who might challenge the speedster.
Challengers Galore: Arian Smith, Darien Porter, and Others
Georgia Bulldogs' Arian Smith and Iowa State Cyclones' Darien Porter are two names to keep an eye on. Smith, with a light 6-foot, 175-pound frame and a high school 10.1 100-meter time, could potentially translate that speed to a 40 time in the low 4.2s.
Porter rocked the Senior Bowl and clocked in at 22.17 MPH during the event, making him the second-fastest player ever registered since they started measuring the stat[1]. That kind of speed could very well translate to a sub-4.3 40 time.
With the Combine just a day away and the rushing to begin at 3 p.m. ET on NFL Network, it’s time to make your moves before it’s too late!
Betting Odds & The Never-ending Quest to Break Worthy's Record
Here are the betting odds for the 40-yard dash:
- Faster than 4.27 seconds: 165
- Slower than 4.27 seconds: -240
Despite the odds against it, some still hold out hope that a record-breaking time will happen this year. But, statistically, the chances are pretty slim[2].
Remember, don't hesitate to spark some excitement with your legal sports bets on the 40-yard dash, vertical jump, bench press, or any other event at Bovada Sportsbook. Go ahead, take the plunge!
Let's Wrap This Up
The history of breaking the 40-yard dash record at the NFL Combine is sketchy at best[3]. Even top prospects like Isaiah Bond have tried, but the achievements remain elusive[1].
With the odds as they are, it's safe to say that the -1200 odds are a sure bet, and the record isn't going anywhere this year[2]. But hey, crazier things have happened, right?
