August 5, 2013
With the investigation being launched by the NCAA into Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel aka “Johnny Football” odds have sprouted as to whether he will be allowed to play in game 1 this season and if he will be able to win the Heisman again. Odds by Bovada
Will Johnny Manziel play in game 1 vs Rice?
Yes +200 (2/1)
No -300 (1/3)
Will Johnny Manziel win the 2013 Heisman?
Yes 15/1
“Considering Texas A&M were among the Top 5 favorites to win the BCS with Manziel playing, there is no doubt that this investigation has forced us to close down those odds, along with win totals, conference odds and pretty much anything that involves the Aggies or Manziel until we have more information. If he does in fact get suspended by the NCAA and is not starting against Alabama, the Aggies will move from getting only 4.5 points to at least two touchdown underdogs in that game. It will also impact the spreads on their whole schedule moving their win total from 9.5 to 7.5 and there from BCS Championship Odds from 12-1 to 33-1 if not higher. Ohio State’s Braxton Miller who was at 13/2 odds to win the Heisman will now be the new frontrunner with odds of under 5-1 ”
