I haven't done much research on anything from fantasy to betting yet but was cruising through a sportsbook and picked up a few futures for very small money

To win NFL MVP

Carson Palmer +50000

Def a super longshot but new scenery and Larry Fitzgerald and a couple decent receivers on his side I felt risking $12 to win $6000 here was a good play. More than likely they finish last in the division but if somehow they had a miracle season and won the division I would have to think Palmer would be a part of it.

Dez Bryant +15000

More than likely if Dallas were to put it together and have a monster year I would guess Tony Romo would be the focal point and get most of the credit. No wide receiver has ever won the award but I think that day may come to an end sometime over the next 10 years with these passing offenses. it is only a matter of time before some WR shatters Calvin Johnsons record and puts up 20+ TDS in the process. Dez Bryant may be the guy to do that. I dropped $12 to win $1800

Doug Martin +15000

Rookie season - 1454 yards 4.6 per carry, big play ability, and 49 catches. Thought it was worth taking a flyer risking $12 to win $1800



Josh Freeman +10000

Not a huge Josh Freeman fan but I am a fan of the weapons they have around him in Tampa. His completion % dropped about 7 % from 60 % to 54 % from his previous 2 seasons but I believe he was in a new system last year. he did manage an 8 game stretch last season where he threw 20 tds vs 4 picks but ended the season poorly. I thought risking $12 to win $1200 was a decent play here.



2013 Heisman Trophy - Odds To Win


Blake Bell (Oklahoma) +4000

We have seen 2 Oklahoma QBS win this in the past 8 years and the past 3 years all the qbs were mobile and scored double digit QBS on the ground. While Bell may not put up the rushing yards like RG3, Manziel or Newton he is certainly a threat around the goal line as he has scored 20 TDS rushing in his first 2 NCAA seasons in very limited duty! Add in he will be playing in an Oklahoma offense that can be explosive with the right mix of players in a high scoring conference and I like my chances laying $25 to win $1000 here
