NCAA Football Betting Lines
01/22/2012 - St. Petersburg, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - No FCS player may have risen more in the minds of NFL scouts this weekend than Chattanooga quarterback B.J. Coleman.
After suffering through an injury-plagued senior season, Coleman was a standout in the 87th East-West Shrine Game Saturday at Tropicana Field.
The 6-foot-5, 220-pound Coleman earned the starting nod under East team coach Bobby Ross and completed 10-of-15 passes for 170 yards and one touchdown. His East team fell to the West, 24-17.
Coleman showed excellent pocket awareness and accuracy, going 6-for-6 on the first-quarter drive in which he connected with Michigan State's B.J. Cunningham for a 17-yard touchdown pass.
Coleman was limited to seven games by a shoulder injury this season. He threw for 6,871 yards in three years at Chattanooga after transferring from Tennessee.
At the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl Saturday in Carson, Calif., Eastern Washington quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell completed 8-of-17 passes for 111 yards and one touchdown as his American team fell to the National team, 20-14.
Earlier this month, Mitchell captured the 2011 Walter Payton Award, which is given to the outstanding player in the FCS, presented by The Sportsbook Betting Lines and sponsored by Fathead.com.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
| Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame) Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma) Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State) Michael Bush (RB, Louisville) Steve Slaton (RB, West Virginia) Brian Brohm (QB, Louisville) Chris Leak (QB, Florida) Mike Hart (RB, Michigan) Ted Ginn (WR, Ohio State) Darius Walker (RB, Notre Dame) Drew Tate (QB, Iowa) Marshawn Lynch (RB, Cal) Kenny Irons (RB, Auburn) Chad Henne (QB, Michigan) Kyle Wright (QB, Miami) Drew Stanton (QB, Michigan State) Kenneth Darby (RB, Alabama) JaMarcus Russell (QB, LSU) Drew Weatherford (QB, Florida State) Blake Mitchell (QB, South Carolina) Reggie Ball (QB, Georgia Tech) |
