04/02/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Titans' needs could change drastically between now and draft day, depending on what happens at two important positions. After losing Travis Henry to free agency, Tennessee is in need of a running back, and is reportedly considering both unrestricted free agent Corey Dillon and restricted free agent Michael Turner. Turner would cost the Titans first- and third-round picks, a price that would be exceedingly high for a career backup. If the Titans strike out on both players, a running back could be on the team's list of needs. Meanwhile, the organization has a major decision to make in regard to troubled cornerback Pacman Jones, who could miss up to half of 2007 due to suspension. It appears unlikely that Tennessee would cut Jones at this stage, though his track record makes it probable that the Titans will target secondary help on the first day. A quality pass rusher (Tennessee ranked near the bottom of the league with just 26 sacks in 2006) and reliable wideout (top pass-catchers Drew Bennett and Bobby Wade escaped via free agency) should also appear at or near the top of the team's wish list.

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) |
