    The Heisman Trophy Jinx.....
    Boyz,

    I've been doing this for a lotta years. When a player wins the Heisman and is also projected to be the first pick in the NFL draft and he's theoretically a student in college and he's also a deer in the headlights on national TV and he plays for Oregon and he reminds me of Colin Kapernick (or Troy Smith or Akili Smith or Geno Smith)......don't think for one second that he wants to risk all that by going all out in his final game(s).

    Florida State +9 is a HUGE PLAY. Florida State on the ML +280 is a big play as well.

    Don't buy into the hype. This kid is like a lot of other players who have come down the pike. A pretty good college player, pro prospects are suspect. He's about to make a financial killing. Nine points is a lay-up with a Seminoles team that has won something like 26 straight. You will kick yourself if you let this opportunity pass. Buy in now because I'm not the only idiot thinking this way. The books are a bit locked into the spread number (they'll never bring it under 7 and will doubtfully go above 10). The moneyline, however, will become less generous.

    FLORIDA STATE +9
    FLORIDA STATE (ML) +280

    As always, best of luck,
    Harry

            Post makes no sense. The difference between this QB from Oregon and the others mentioned is this guy is playing for a national championship and the others were playing in meaningless bowl games. Winning the title would make his stock go up even more. Playing poorly would drop him.

              The last 4 times a Heisman winner had a chance to win the national championship in a bowl game they have lost (against the spread). Winston (last year), Newton, Bradford, Troy Smith. Make it 5 with Mariotta. He's got no right laying 9 points to a team that's won 26 straight.

                  Unless he gains 20 pounds like Troy Smith he'll be ok

                    It's this year's version. They lose, they're out.
