2010 NFL Week 1 Picks & Betting Odds: As the highly anticipated 2010 NFL Week 1 Picks & Betting Odds regular season approaches, drama surrounds last year’s Super Bowl Champ, Reggie Bush of the New Orleans Saints. Bush will become the first player in 75-years of Heisman Trophy history, to have his trophy taken away from him. The Saints’ running back, has been dealing with this issue since June.
The question now becomes: how much of a distraction will this be as the New Orleans Saints [-6] kickoff
the season in a rematch of last season’s NFC championship game against the Minnesota Vikings [+6] Thursday night. The OVER/UNDER for this highly anticipated game between the Viking and Saints has been set at a combined total of 48 points.
At that time the NCAA ruled that Bush had been receiving cash and gifts, along with other benefits while playing for the University of Southern California in 2005 when he was awarded. Some of the other benefits that Bush was said to receive was a rent-free home where his family lived.
After these findings came about, the NCAA had Bush ruled ineligible for part of the 2004 season as well as all of 2005. As a result of being ineligible, his name was removed from the sporting venues and is statistics were deleted from all games during that time period. USC also returned their copy of the Heisman to the trust. Last month, Bush stated how difficult the situation has been for him to deal with.
"This thing, regarding USC and the NCAA, is the closest thing to death without dying because I have such a great love and respect for the university," Bush said. "This has been one the toughest things I've had to deal with in my life."
People are now wondering if Vince Young should be considered the winner for 2005, as he was the runner up that year while playing for the Longhorns. The Texas quarterback led his team to a victory against USC to the BCS national championship that year.
