2009 Heisman Trophy Odds
And the winner of the 2009 Heisman Trophy is? Football handicappers who know the answer to that question can collect serious winnings at any one of a number of sportsbooks.
Archie Griffin is the only player to win two Heisman Trophies, but the former Ohio State Buckeye can have some company with that distinction as for the first time ever, two previous winners will be competing in the same season: Tim Tebow of the Florida Gators and Sam Bradford of the Oklahoma Sooners.
Tebow, whose Gators are the overwhelming consensus preseason No. 1, is the favorite at +200, with
A second-time winner is far from in the bag as Colt McCoy of the Texas Longhorns is +275.
Jerry McCann of ScoresOddsPicks.com believes McCoy should be the favorite. “Based on limited data, the Heisman voters have shown a potential two-time winner would have to run away with the award,” says McCann arguing that Tebow should have won last year.
“If it’s close among the ‘big three’, McCoy will get it.”
The only other candidate at less than 10-1 according to BetUs Sportsbook is Terrelle Pryor, the strong-armed but raw
Jonathan Dwyer, of Georgia Tech, will try to emerge from the mediocre ACC at +1200. Dwyer will also have to overcome the east coast bias in which incredibly no players from an east coast school outside of Florida has won since 1984 and just twice since Tony Dorsett captured the honor in 1976.
By comparison, three USC players have won the last six years.

Baseball Betting – Tuesday MLB picks
If the Wimbledon odds aren’t your cup of tea, why not kick back and make some Tuesday baseball picks? Check out these MLB lines and predictions.
Phillies vs Rays odds
Tuesday, June 23,
Jamie Moyer (4-6, 6.35) vs David Price (1-1, 3.46)
MLB betting lines: Phillies +140, Rays -160
As exciting as David Price is as a pitcher—you have to love the 30 strikeouts in 26 innings if you’re an online betting fan—the rookie remains extremely erratic. He has an astronomical 18 walks in those 26 innings this season and that lack of control could really hurt him against the powerful Phillies Wednesday night—enough to make
Jamie Moyer’s age is really showing this season, but most of his struggles come at home. He’s been serviceable on the road and, when he faced
Daily sports pick: Phillies +140
Cardinals vs Mets odds
Tuesday, June 23, 7:10 PM ET
Joel Pineiro (5-8, 3.77) vs Livan Hernandez (5-1, 4.18)
MLB betting lines: Cardinals -115, Mets -105
You may want to pick over the total in your MLB predictions here. According to most betting software analyses, Joel Pineiro is in for a rough night. He’s been great at home but he struggles on the road with a 2-5 record and 5.27 ERA, so he could be in trouble, even if the Mets’ lineup is that much more depleted with Carlos Beltran joining Jose Reyes and Carlos Delgado on the DL. Livan Hernandez pitches well at Citi Field, but color me skeptical; he still allows homers like few other pitchers and Albert Pujols could go yard off Cy Young himself right now. He also owns Hernandez with a .344 average, three homers and a 1.042 OPS in 32 at bats. I like the Cards.
Daily sports pick: Cardinals -115
