Scam Newton!
Oh, relax. The best things in life are always scams.
In actuality, we do think Cam Newton should win the Heisman Trophy on Saturday. Make no mistake, he will. If you can find a book that still is taking bets on Newton to win it, he should throw your life savings, first born, right arm and a pack of Skittles on that bet. He was clearly the best player and, let's be honest, he probably isn't even the highest paid player in NCAA Football.
But while most books don't have odds on the Heisman winner anymore, you can still find odds on who will finish second. And this, to us, is almost as much of a no-brainer.
Here are the current odds for second place:
Andrew Luck -140
LaMichael James +110
Kellen Moore +1000
If not for Newton absolutely dominating the game of football for the last couple months, more and more people would be gushing over Andrew Luck. While Newton may be the best of the college ranks, we think Luck will be the better pro (this is a good time to get those super early NFL Draft bets in). Luck is almost a shoe-in for the first overall pick of the draft, much like Newton is a shoe-in to win the Heisman.
To summarize: It would take a lot of bad Luck if Andrew isn't the runner-up for the Heisman, and if you can still put money on Cam Newton winning the thing, do it. We all know his dad already did.
