And the winner of the 2009 Heisman Trophy is? Football handicappers<\/a> who know the answer to that question can collect serious winnings at any one of a number of sportsbooks<\/a>. <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

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<\/span> of the Florida Gators and Sam Bradford of the Oklahoma Sooners. <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Tebow<\/span><\/font><\/span>, whose<\/span> Gators are the overwhelming consensus preseason No. 1, is the favorite at +200, with Bradford<\/st1:place> at +250. <\/p>\n

A second-time winner is far from in the bag as Colt McCoy of the Texas Longhorns is +275. <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Jerry McCann of ScoresOddsPicks.com<\/a> <\/span><\/font>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<\/span> should have won last year.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

“If it’s close among the ‘big three’, McCoy will get it.” <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

The only other candidate at less than 10-1 according to BetUs Sportsbook<\/a> is Terrelle<\/span> Pryor, the strong-armed but raw <\/span><\/font>Ohio<\/st1:PlaceName> State<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place> signal caller. He’s +800. <\/p>\n

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. <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

By comparison, three USC players have won the last six years.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n
