The current price for Johnny Manziel to win the Heisman is -900.
Manti Te'o +650
Collin Klein +750
If Manziel wins, it would be the first time a Freshman won.

I am shocked. I believe there is a ton of value betting Te'o at +650.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

from Heisman Pundit: " Te’o would become the first solely defensive player to win the Heisman."

I will post who should win as the votes come in starting around December 3. I will certainly make a decent wager if there is value. There will be value either way but I do not like betting 900 (or worse) to win 100 if the fav looks like a winner. Money for dinner I guess. I wish that there was a College Senior Quaterback with better stats to smooth this money line out.

Only Charles Woodson of the Michigan Wolverines has taken home the Heisman Trophy as a primary defensive player, yet he did have an impact on offense and special teams as well.

Remember the betting line is WHO WILL WIN, not who desreves to win. Save your money. Te'o is a sucker bet.

Manziel just went to -530
Te'o went to +475

Looks like people are betting Te'o for value at this point.

Buzz, you are right about Woodson. I was reading about Woodson last night.

A lot of times there is value in the Heisman or the Presidential election. You just need the correct info. If not, do not bet.

The actual early votes are coming in strong for Manziel. He will be heavily favored. I will update every 2 days as actual votes come in.

The line is currently not up on 5dimes.

Is this bet available in Vegas?

I don't believe you can bet on anything in Nevada that is determined by a vote.

Betting on a solely defensive player is like betting on a 3rd party candidate in a Presidential election. Do NOT expect to win, ever !

Manziel is a lock. I'd put $1060 to win $200 on it right now, then take that $200 to a $5 craps table and have fun!

Manziel is leading the Heisman votes 3-1 over Te'o. 100 votes tallied.

Johny "Football" Manziel looks like the winner. First Freshman too.

Manziel is -1700 to win 100 at 5dimes. Was hoping it was around -500 to -700..
