I say the voters give it to Tua since Murray is a baseball player and they want to reward “the football player”.
 
Tua was as high as a 20-1 favorite a month ago and just about every book in Vegas took it off the board.

It has totally swung the other way and I’ve seen Murray favored around -170 offshore.

Obviously Tua missed all those 4th quarters which hurt his stats, but it also needs to be mentioned that he generally played against better defenses than Murray did.

Another factor going against Tua is that historically many voters have turned their ballots in early, but supposedly this year only 11% had submitted their ballots before last week.

Being that most of these voters are pretty clueless and only go by the last thing they saw I see Murray winning it in the end.
 
I got tua at +180 earlier in the week and +210 earlier today. I cannot recall such a heavy favorite flip to being a dog
 
Before the SEC championship game, the network made Tua sound like the greatest thing since sliced white bread. I haven’t heard a guy mentioned so often since Manti Te’o. :rolleyes:
 
Well Murray had to keep scoring to account for his own team's sorry D
