    Andrew Luck +650 to win Heisman..

    Wow. Very surprised at how high this number is, I do think Griffin is the very small favorite, especially with the media hype he's getting this week, but how can you not put a small number down on Luke here? Griffin is by no means a clear cut guarantee to win it Saturday. Would you guys actually be surprised if Luck gets it.

    Putting 100 on it. Just cause I'd be sick if I didnt and Luck won it..

    Given the swing in the odds for RG III -- from +300 to -700 -- I think "clear cut guarantee" might be exactly what he is.

    This isn't like betting on a game where an upset could happen. Someone has some sort of inside information for the line to move so violently like this.

    RG III already won it with odds like that, waste of 100 bucks most likely

    This may be the worst bet ever, ESPN has already released their Heisman voters votes, and RGIII won those. I would be shocked if Luck got it at this point, especially since RGIII had the stage last Saturday and was impressive.

    ESPN released their poll results yesterday and RGIII will win... and it ain't gonna be close.

    Andrew Luck was a distant second.

    This is one of those times where it is justified to go "all-in" on something

    The votes have already pretty much been made public

    i believe 100% in stiffarmtrophy.com, but i am always afraid that someone with big bucks could buy voters at the end and make a killing.

    Nobody is making a killing with the limits for Heisman betting, but RGIII has got this in the bag. Trent 2nd, Andrew 3rd.

    Amazing. This guy was a dark horse all season, and now all of a sudden he's a lock to win it? The voters only remember the last thing they saw. Andrew Luck and Trent Richardson are being punished because they didn't play last week.

    haha that's foolish... go compare their stats

    RG3 should win and will win

    Mathieu could have won if it wasn't for the mary j suspension

    Based on his numbers, I agree, he should win. I just think it's funny that Andrew Luck was the favorite all season, and now everyone is on Robert Griffin III's nuts. I think the voting would be a lot closer if Andrew Luck and Trent Richardson played last week, and played well.

    Montee Ball deserves it more than Richardson, seriously, look at Bama's schedule, they played a ton of BS teams.

    People talking about him saying that Baylor would have its first heisman winner pretty much clinched it.

    Mathieu isn't even the best CB on his own team-Claiborne

    no way he should win it

    i think trent should win

    obviously rg3 is the clear winner from the odds movement

    I don't think a running back should ever win it. If you took Trent Richardson off of Alabama, they could still have the same number of wins. Where would Baylor be without Robert Griffin III? Nowhere.

    Took Ball +25000 for $5 just because I'm so amazed by his season (I know Russell Wilson helps a ton, but still) and those are solid odds... even if Griffin has it in the bag (if that makes any sense)

    RG3 absolutely deserves it.....He was clearly the most outstanding player if you watched him play this season.......Not to take away anything from all of the other guys, but RG3 was something else out there.

    I think that Oklahoma game where he lasered the ball in there for the game winner was his signature Heisman moment....congrats to him

    luck has a shot - i put 50 bucks at +800 and said who knows.

    1. most people who vote are old and they know luck is going number 1 so may vote as such

    2. RG3 may have put off some voters with his comments after last weeks game.

    Bottom line its worth a shot i mean I think he has a better shot then some +800 dogs have

    and hell if you can't see the value with tossing down 1/2 a unit seeing the pure value then don't

    The only value in betting the Heisman is betting on RG III at the best price you could find.

    Amazingly, he was only -480 @ Betmaker while at 5 Dimes he is -1200 with the field takeback priced at +700.

    When it comes to betting on events like the Heisman, you have to throw handicapping out the window when you make wagers this close to the announcement as the event has already been decided. The books offer betting on it because its incredibly difficult to lay -1200 on Griffin and the +800 on Luck/+2500 on Richardson gets people sucked in.

    To repeat, there is no value whatsoever in betting any one other than Griffin III.

    Ok st made the sooners look rather average. If that laser is why he wins then it should be split with weedon. He lit them up too.
