We are still several months away from the start of the 2012 college football schedule, but here at Bankroll Sports, we never stop looking at some of the best NCAA football odds on the internet. Take a first look at the 2012 Heisman Trophy odds along with some of our early Heisman Trophy picks and predictions for the upcoming season.

With so many of the other Heisman Trophy candidates declaring for the NFL Draft, it is no surprise that the man that is the favorite to win the 2012 Heisman Trophy is a man that elected to pass on the NFL for one more year at the collegiate level. USC Trojans QB Matt Barkley (Odds To Win The Heisman Trophy: 3.85 to 1 at JustBet Sportsbook) is clearly going to be one of the top quarterbacks in the nation this year. In fact, the whole Southern Cal team is going to be great this year, especially with WR Robert Woods leading a talented set of receivers this year. The Pac-12 has the potential to be not all that fantastic with teams like the Oregon Ducks and Stanford Cardinal getting ripped apart by players leaving for the NFL, and the Trojans are clearly playing in the worst half of their conference. This all bodes well for the Trojans and for Barkley, who has to be considered the top returning quarterback this year.

As we found out last year though, the man that is the bona fide favorite isn’t always the one that ends up winning the award. The Michigan Wolverines had a heck of a year in 2011 under the direction of new Head Coach Brady Hoke. If Big Blue can contend for the Big Ten title again this season, the man that could be on a lot of Heisman Trophy ballots is QB Denard Robinson (Current Heisman Trophy Odds: 6.50 to 1 at JustBet Sportsbook). Robinson has over 2,000 passing yards and over 1,000 rushing yards in each of his first two seasons calling the shots in Ann Arbor, and he is going to surely be in a position to put up these types of numbers once again. The Wolverines are going in the right direction, and Robinson is a big part of the reason for that. This is a man that has flirted with the Heisman in the past, but right now, Robinson is more or less this year’s version of last year’s Heisman winner, Baylor Bears’ QB Robert Griffin III.

Of the four Heisman Trophy finalists on the offensive side of the ball from last year, the only one of the bunch that is coming back to school this year is Wisconsin Badgers RB Montee Ball (Heisman Trophy Betting Lines: 5 to 1 at JustBet Sportsbook). We just can’t see how Ball is going to put up numbers that were better than what he had last year when he rushed for 1,759 yards and accounted for a total of 39 TDs. Parlay all of that with the fact that the Badgers won the Big Ten and played in the Rose Bowl this year, and we become very confused as to what more Ball needs to do to win the Heisman Trophy. Of course, the stats that Griffin put up last year were out of this world, but Ball wasn’t even really all that close to winning the award. Ball isn’t a flashy back, as he is more or less just that vintage “between the tackles” back, and though he is going to put up the numbers once again assuming that he stays healthy, the issue is that he just doesn’t have the flare of some of the other top players in the land.

There are a few players with some long odds that we are willing to take a stab at this year. We’ll start with the Clemson Tigers’ WR Sammy Watkins (Current Heisman Trophy Odds: 22 to 1 at BetOnline Sportsbook). Though QB Tajh Boyd is going to get a lot of the accolades for the Tigers, Watkins is clearly the player that made the difference to this team this year. Watkins does everything for Clemson, carrying the ball as a receiver, catching the ball, returning kicks, and perhaps selling popcorn on the side as well. Remember that he is only a sophomore this year. This is the year in which QB Tim Tebow won the Heisman, and it is also the year in which RB Mark Ingram won it as well. Watkins is going to be the man that has to make the Tigers the top team in the ACC once again, and if that happens, Watkins could be a Heisman contender.

We’re also going to look at the Georgia Bulldogs’ QB Aaron Murray (Current 2012 Heisman Trophy Lines: 15 to 1 at BetOnline Sportsbook). The top teams in the SEC are the ones that always have Heisman Trophy finalists. The Alabama Crimson Tide are clearly going to have some big time players, as will the LSU Tigers, but both teams are lacking stars offensively. Sure, Tyrann Mathieu was a finalist last year, but there are just so few defensive players that have the ability to actually win the award. Instead, Murray seems to be the up and coming star in this conference. He had one of the best years for a UGA quarterback in school history last year, and he was only a sophomore. The Dawgs took some major steps in the right direction this year, winning 10 straight games before losing in the SEC Championship Game. If they can keep going the right way and challenge again for the SEC crown, Murray could have a shot at posting a Heisman Trophy campaign.

2012 Super Bowl Volkswagon Commercial

We were huge fans of the Volkswagon 2012 Super Bowl commercial, as we really thought that the VW dog was one of the highlights of an otherwise sometimes gloomy set of commercials.

2012 Superbowl Audi Twilight Commercial

Okay, so maybe the Twilight theme was a little odd for a Super Bowl commercial this year, but the truth of the matter is that it worked. We’re still not so sure what Audi has to do with Twilight, but hey, it worked and was good enough to get in our list of the Top 10 2012 Super Bowl ads.

2012 Coke Superstition Superbowl Ad

Get used to seeing the Coca-Cola bears on the list of the 10 best Super Bowl ads. Coke’s use of these bears was just great, as we can all relate to this one, who believed in all sorts of superstitions when watching his team. C’mon… admit it. You know that you’ve been there, too.

2012 M&M LMFAO Super Bowl Advertisement

LMFAO was a dud in our eyes in the Super Bowl halftime show, but we were a fan of their commercial seen early in the game. It wasn’t the best commercial of the bunch, but M&M definitely got its point across with a Super Bowl commercial that had to leave you chuckling like it did for us.

2012 Super Bowl Volkswagon Commercial Teaser

VW is back again on our list of the Top 10 2012 Super Bowl commercials with its rendition of dogs barking a popular tune from Star Wars. Again, props to Volkswagon for coming up with a great theme for their Superbowl commercials, which were clearly a huge hit.

2012 Super Bowl Commercial For Chevy

Think that anyone has told this kid yet that his present for graduating had nothing to do with the awesome yellow car in the background? Because of the joy of the graduate, we have to include the Chevrolet commercial at the Super Bowl as one of the best of the bunch.

2012 Toyota Superbowl Commercial

Reinventing the Toyota Camry wasn’t the only thing that the Japanese car makers were advertising during the Super Bowl. Apparently, the theme of this year’s Super Bowl was “sex sells,” as there were a number of companies that took that road in their Super Bowl ads this year. We’re not complaining.

2012 Fiat 500 Sexy Italian Super Bowl Commercial

We were a bit off guard over the course of this whole commercial until the very end, as we weren’t really all that sure what a hot Italian chick was advertising. Props to Fiat for its Super Bowl ad, though we tend to think that few are going to remember what the ad was about, and instead will be left thinking about the hot girl in the dress.

2012 Coke “The Catch” Super Bowl Advertisement

Mario Manningham and David Tyree are both known for their remarkable catches that helped the Giants win their last two Super Bowls, but those two have absolutely nothing on the Coke bear. Check out this catch over the course of a full commercial, though we aren’t so sure that the best part of all of this wasn’t the wreckage that he left behind him while making the snare.

Sexy GoDaddy.com Super Bowl Commercial

Sorry to the rest of the companies that tried their best to sell sex during their Super Bowl ads. Once again, GoDaddy.com is the head of the class. Danica Patrick once again was used as the star of the show, but GoDaddy.com brought in any and every sexy woman that they could find for this one, and in the end, it was clearly our top choice for the best Super Bowl ad in 2012.

The New York Giants just won the Super Bowl for the second time under QB Eli Manning. But do the Giants 2013 Super Bowl odds justify backing them again? Check out the answer to the question: Will the Giants repeat as Super Bowl champions?

2012 New York Giants Offense
The biggest thing that the G-Men have going for them this coming season is that Manning has clearly jumped into that elite status of NFL quarterbacks. He has probably surpassed his brother, and really with the exception of perhaps Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and Drew Brees, there probably isn’t another quarterback that you would put on the list ahead of the younger Manning. He threw for 4,933 yards this year with 29 TDs against 16 INTs. Sure, the pick total was high, but Manning made up for it by having a knack for winning games at the end when all looked lost.

The emergence of WR Victor Cruz was key this year. That gave Manning a solid set of receivers to throw the pigskin to. He had 1,536 yards, while WR Hakeem Nicks had 1,192 yards, and WR Mario Manningham had 523 yards. TE Jake Ballard suffered a knee injury during the Super Bowl, but assuming that he is okay, he is going to one of the sneakier tight ends in the league next year. Ballard averaged 15.9 yards per catch and had 604 yards.

RBs Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs were both hurt for pieces of the season, and the two only ended up rushing for a total of 1,230 yards with 16 scores. Both averaged under 4.0 yards per carry, and that shows that the offensive line is clearly going to need some work going forward.

2012 New York Giants Defense
Defensively, it is all about the pass rush. The play of rookie DB Prince Amukamara improved as the season went on, but he will look like a great starter next year as long as the trio of DEs, Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora, and Jason Pierre-Paul continue to be dominating. The questions that are to be asked of this defense, which ranked No. 27 in the league at 376.4 yards per game and No. 25 in scoring at 25.0 points per game in the regular season, are going to be at linebacker, where the team just isn’t all that great.

2012 New York Giants Contracts & Free Agents
Free agency shouldn’t be all that bad on the Giants this year. Ballard is a free agent, as is Manningham, and they will probably be the top priorities on offense to resign. OLs Stacy Andrews and Kareem McKenzie are both free agents to be. On the other side of the ball, DB Aaron Ross is sure to be in for a big payday from someone, while S Deon Grant is free as well. LB Chase Blackburn is likely in line for a new contract, and the team is also going to have to address the situation with at punter and backup quarterback if QB David Carr and P Steve Weatherford are not resigned.

2012 New York Giants Schedule
The schedule next year for the Giants is going to be brutal. The team is obviously going to have to play a first place schedule, meaning the Green Bay Packers will once again be on the slate. The other non-divisional home games are against the New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cleveland Browns, and Pittsburgh Steelers. The non-divisional road games are against the San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Baltimore Raven, and Cincinnati Bengals. Needless to say, it is going to be a heck of a lot different now that the Giants have to play against the NFC South instead of the NFC West, and those games against the teams in the AFC North are certainly not going to be easy.

2012-2013 New York Giants Super Bowl Odds
The Giants Super Bowl odds are 15 to 1 at Bovada.lv, making them the eighth favorite. They were never really the favorites at any point over the course of this season either, especially with the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles in the same division with them. In the end, this is a brutal schedule for New York to have to play, especially if it isn’t going to win games like the two against the Washington Redskins that it was defeated in this past year. We aren’t even all that sure that the Giants are going to make the playoffs next year, and at this point, we wouldn’t want to back a team at these types of 2013 Super Bowl odds, especially when the team was brutally inconsistent all season long.

After weeding through 30 other teams, there are just two that remain for the right to battle it out for the Lombardi Trophy. The New England Patriots will take on the New York Giants in the biggest game of the year, and here at Bankroll Sports, we have all of the essential information for Super Bowl 46, including the date, time, and television station for the Superbowl.

Super Bowl Date: Sunday, February 5th

Super Bowl Kickoff Time: 6:30 p.m. (ET)

Super Bowl Television Station: NBC

Football fan in the Northeast really couldn’t have asked for anything more, as teams from the two biggest markets in the area are going to square off against one another in what has become a true rivalry of teams across conferences. Anyone who was around four years ago remembers just how epic the Super Bowl was between the Giants and the Patriots, as they fought for the full 60 minutes tooth and nail before WR David Tyree made the catch that might go down in the history of the game as the best football play ever, and WR Plaxico Burress caught the touchdown pass that led to one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history as well. It was the first championship and the true coming out party for QB Eli Manning, who is now four years older and wiser. Now, he is considered one of the truly elite quarterbacks in the game, standing right beside the man that he is going to face once again in this title game, QB Tom Brady.

There really is no reason that you wouldn’t want to watch this game. Obviously, both of these teams have tremendous offenses that chuck the pigskin all over the field. Brady and Manning threw for over 10,000 yards between them this year, making them the first tandem of quarterbacks to throw for over 10,000 yards in a Super Bowl matchup. WR Victor Cruz came out of nowhere to be one of the top receivers in the league this season, while both WR Hakeem Nicks and WR Mario Manningham have the ability to do some real damage as well. When Brady played in the Super Bowl four years ago, he and WR Randy Moss were breaking a ton of passing and receiving records. Now, it is Brady and TE Rob Gronkowski that are rewriting the record books. Gronkowski had one of the best seasons that a tight end ever had in the NFL, and he is flanked by another tight end that would be a tremendous stud on virtually any other roster in the game, TE Aaron Hernandez. WR Wes Welker led the league in receptions once again this season, and he is always the dependable target, while WR Deion Branch was more or less the forgotten man in the offense. Remember, of all of the wide receivers in this game, it is Branch that is the only one to already have a Super Bowl MVP award to his credit.

The teams both were flawed this year as well, but both have figured out how to work past their flaws. The New England defense, which ranked second to last in the league this season, has come up with two sturdy games in a row, and the team’s secondary is finding ways to do just enough thanks to an improved pass rush. The Giants had the worst rushing attack in the NFL this year, but all of a sudden, RBs Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs are taking on the form that they used to have when they combined to make one of the most vaunted ground games in the league. A much maligned secondary has come up with some big games, including shutting down QB Matt Ryan, frustrating QB Aaron Rodgers, who might be the league’s MVP this year, and halting the momentum built by QB Alex Smith this season.

Needless to say, this Super Bowl has the potential to be remarkable, and it is surely going to be a game that you don’t want to miss. Be sure to tune into Super Bowl 46 between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots at 6:30 p.m. (ET) on Sunday, February 5th on NBC

It was four years ago that the New York Giants were lifting the Lombardi Trophy at the expense of the New England Patriots. This year, they are back in the big one once again, and if they are going to beat the Super Bowl betting lines in Super Bowl 46, these are the Giants keys to winning the Super Bowl.

Key #1: Eli Manning has to continue to get the job done in the clutch
Call it whatever you want to call it. Eli has guts. The younger Manning brother was sacked six times and nailed countless others by the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game, but even though he was in a position where he was absolutely brutalized, when his back was against the wall, he got the job done. In fact, that “back against the wall” mentality is what brought the G-Men their first Super Bowl in the Manning era, and it will be what has to happen again this year. It is clear that QB Tom Brady has the better passing game in our eyes with the flexibility at the tight end spot. However, in the end, when the going gets tough, it is Eli that is going to have a shot with the ball in his hands to make something special happen. It might be to lead a comeback. It might be to preserve a lead. It might be to make the big throw in a seemingly impossible position. Yet at some point, Manning is going to need to make a play, and regardless of how well or not well he has played in the game to that point, he is going to have to find some way, against all odds, to make the play that helps New York win this game.

Key #2: The ground game cannot be stuck in neutral
The first time that these two teams played this year, 25 carries combined from RBs Brandon Jacobs and Danny Ware needed 95 yards on the ground. It wasn’t enough to consider the New York offense even remotely balanced, as the team threw it 39 times on the day, but it was just enough to win the time of possession battle and give Manning the ability to throw the ball around the field. RB Ahmad Bradshaw was out of the lineup in that first meeting of the year, as was WR Hakeem Nicks. The addition of these two is crucial to say the least, but if Bradshaw and Jacobs can’t get the ball going on the ground, these three fantastic wide receivers that Manning has at his disposal could effectively be taken out of the game. These two had a combined 23 carries for 87 yards in the Super Bowl four years ago, but there was a lot more pressure on them to carry the offense with the very young Manning under the gun.

Key #3: Blitz, blitz, and blitz some more
Actually, we probably don’t have the right terminology for this. The Giants don’t necessarily need to blitz, but they absolutely have to get in the backfield on defense and get the ball out of QB Tom Brady’s hands in a heartbeat. If Brady can hold onto the football in the backfield for long periods of time, TEs Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski will have plenty of time to get open and find seams in the defense. That just isn’t going to cut it to say the least. All of a sudden over the course of the last few weeks, men like DE Jason Pierre-Paul and DE Osi Umenyiora are finding ways to get around the corner and into the backfield in a hurry. Penetration is going to have to come straight at Brady as well, as it was when the pass rush was in his face that he made mistakes all season long against some of the best defenses in the game. Sure, generating that pass rush with just four or five guys will make life a lot easier on some suspect corners, but running bump and run and getting guys in the backfield in a hurry will do wonders as well. If the Giants can’t dial up some blitz packages and knock down Brady, they aren’t going to have success in this game.

Key #1: Tom Brady has to figure out how to beat a brutal pass rush
Some of the best teams in the game this year have had a remarkable pass rush this year, and the teams that have been able to beat the Pats have gotten to Brady and put him under some remarkable pressure. That includes the pair of sacks that the G-Men got in the first go around of these two teams. The Baltimore Ravens were able to get in his face last week, and though he was only sacked one time, Brady did throw two picks and only found the end zone one time, and that was on the ground. This is the same type of defense that the Giants are going to throw New England’s way again with some ferocious pass rushers like DE Jason-Pierre Paul. Whether it is more draws, more quick plays, extra blockers, or whatever the case is, Head Coach Bill Belichick and Brady have to design ways to be successful and to keep the likes of Pierre-Paul and these other remarkable defensive linemen out of the backfield.

Key #2: The threat of the big play has to be there
Brady threw for 5,235 yards this year, but the one knock that he has had about his passing game is that there really wasn’t all that much of a vertical passing game. WR Chad Ochocinco might have the ability to stretch the field, assuming that he is back in the lineup for the Super Bowl, while WR Deion Branch is probably the next best option. He caught a deep ball against the Denver Broncos in the Patriots’ first playoff game, but that was a severely different defense than what New England will see in this game. Brady has to be able to have the time to take some shots down the field, no matter who it is that is getting the passes thrown his way, and though we don’t think that he necessarily has to connect on those big time passes, he at least to have to have that threat to keep the New York corners from playing bump and run coverage. We have seen teams hit the deep ball against these defensive backs before, and the Giants have to be taken off the line of scrimmage with the threat of the long pass from one of the best quarterbacks in the game.

Key #3: New England has to become a hardnosed team
With apologies to the football players on the field, all of which have to be tough guys to a certain extent, this New England team is basically soft. The Patriots don’t run the ball right up the gut all that often and have to get cute running the ball with gimmicks and odd formations. They tend to get gashed when teams run hard at them, and their corners really don’t like playing bump and run coverage. Case in point for how soft this team looks: New England needed three shots to get into the end zone from 2nd and goal against the Ravens’ 1-yard line to get in the end zone, and in the end, it was just a jump from Brady got the ball in on fourth down. This is a tough New York team that has taken the emotion from its winning streak and its history of winning the Super Bowl in the past. New England has to match that intensity if it wants to avoid another terrible disappointment in the Super Bowl.

The Super Bowl 46 odds are going to be contested in just a handful of days, and today at Bankroll Sports, we are going to look at the odds to win the Super Bowl MVP award for the biggest game of the season

Where else could we possibly start than with New England QB Tom Brady (Current Super Bowl MVP Odds: 1.15 to 1 at Sport Bet Sportsbook)? Brady is the best and most important player on the team that is favored on Sunday, and though it isn’t always a quarterback that takes the final honor of MVP, often times, that does turn out to be the case. Unlike last year when the Pittsburgh Steelers were in the Super Bowl, we really don’t anticipate anyone on the New England defense being the difference maker (whereas the possibility was definitely there for the Steelers and for other defensive based teams). The only caution about Brady is that he hasn’t always played well in the playoffs in his career, and the AFC Championship Game against the Baltimore Ravens was anything but an MVP type of performance. Normally when Brady puts up his stats, the Patriots do end up winning though, and if he reaches the 300+ yard passing mark and his team ends up winning, Brady is going to be the MVP in all probability.

However, the quarterback on the other side the field, New York’s QB Eli Manning (Current Super Bowl MVP Betting Odds: 1.75 to 1 at Sport Bet Sportsbook) has just as good of a chance to get the job done as Brady does. The Giants are the understood underdogs in this game, but Manning is the man that is going to have to get the job done offensively as he did when these two teams met four years ago in this very game. Historically, Manning has had the grit to be able to get the ball down the field when it is needed most, and he has become a bit of a fourth quarter comeback specialist, starting with the unbelievable play that both he and WR David Tyree made in the Super Bowl four years ago to help the G-Men knock off the previously perfect Patriots. If New York wins this game and the offense is the reason for that, we just don’t see any other possibilities aside from Manning winning the MVP award, especially with the way that he tends to shuffle the ball all over the field and the lack of a running game that exists in a split backfield.

Not all of the Giants are a lost cause, though. The man that could be worth watching is DE Jason Pierre-Paul (Most Recent Superbowl MVP Odds: 55 to 1 at Sport Bet Sportsbook). You probably wouldn’t know it based off of his stats, which only show a grand total of a half sack in three games in the postseason, but Pierre-Paul has beena huge part of the reason why the Giants are in the Super Bowl. The former USF Bull has all of the tools to make a huge difference in this one, especially if the Patriots have to use Nate Solder as a primary weak side offensive lineman instead of the injured Sebastian Vollmer. Pierre-Paul had 16 sacks during the regular season, and if he can cause a ruckus in the New England backfield, he is the one defensive player that we could really see getting the job done for Big Blue.

Sure, it can be said that the New England defense really came up with the plays that made the big difference against the Ravens, but we just don’t see anyone doing that this time around against the Giants. We tend to think that, in spite of the struggles in the offensive line for New York, that there won’t be a single lineman that makes that much of an impact on the game to win the MVP award, meaning we have to shift to the other side of the ball to find another potential MVP candidate. No one ever really knows how the backfield is going to be split for Head Coach Bill Belichick, so the idea of counting on a running back having a multi-TD game just doesn’t seem all that strong. So, the next most logical choice would be TE Rob Gronkowski (Up To Date Odds to Win Super Bowl MVP: 7 to 1 at Sport Bet Sportsbook). Gronk absolutely destroyed the record books for tight ends this year from a touchdown scoring perspective, and he has continued to be huge here in the playoffs as well. There just doesn’t seem to be a team out there that has the ability to cover him when it counts the most down near the goal line. Gronkowski has been walking around in a boot this week with an ankle injury, so we do have a bit of a concern that he won’t even get on the field on Sunday, but assuming that he ends up being okay to play, as long as he keeps up his role as Brady’s favorite target near the end zone, he could end up being the Super Bowl MVP, just as WR Deion Branch was several years ago for the Patriots.

If we had to take a defensive player though, that man would be DT Vince Wilfork (Most Recent Odds to Win Super Bowl MVP: 66 to 1 at Sport Bet Sportsbook). The center of the offensive line for the Giants has been a rotating sieve seemingly all season long, and Wilfork really took advantage last week of a shaky offensive line effort by Baltimore to essentially be the MVP of that game as well. The former Miami Hurricane is clearly one of the best nose tackles in the game amongst teams that run the 3-4, and though statistically speaking, he isn’t always involved, Wilfork is the type of player that can make a few splash plays that stand out in the minds of the voters that can win the award in a low scoring game that lacked a number of offensive heroes.
