Manning wins another Super Bowl MVP

Football Betting Lines

02/06/2012 - Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Is Eli Manning elite? That's likely no longer a concern for the New York Giants quarterback.

Manning won his second Super Bowl Most Valuable Player award Sunday after leading the Giants on another game-winning drive against the Patriots.

He orchestrated an 88-yard march that ended in Ahmad Bradshaw's go-ahead six- yard touchdown with 57 seconds remaining that lifted New York to a 21-17 win.

Of course, Manning also led an 83-yard drive to capture the 2008 Super Bowl over the Patriots, which ended New England's hopes of a perfect season and ended with Manning winning MVP.

Just as New York's winning drive four years ago had an instant-classic play, this one got its goosebumps moment with 3:39 remaining.

It was Mario Manningham's 38-yard catch near the left sideline on the first play of the drive, which took the Giants to midfield. Manningham got behind cornerback Sterling Moore, and took a hit from safety Patrick Chung, but kept his feet in bounds for the catch.

The play was upheld upon review, with Manningham scraping his back foot on the turf before he tumbled head-first out of bounds.

"A remarkable thing," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said.

Manning was 5-of-6 for 74 yards on the drive and passed big brother Peyton by winning his second Super Bowl ring.

He finished the game 30-of-40 for 296 yards and a touchdown pass to Victor Cruz in the first quarter, capping an improbable run that began when the Giants made the playoffs on the last day of the regular season.

"I'm proud of these guys, proud of the way we fought all year," said Manning. "We never got discouraged."

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.
