Most college football teams have only played one game, but don't let that stop gambling places from changing odds on important things. The latest being who will win the Heisman Trophy.
Louisville Cardinals standout, Lamar Jackson, is now the odds on favorite to bring it home, at least according to Bovada.
Odds to Win the 2017 Heisman Trophy, via Bovada:
- Lamar Jackson (QB Louisville) +400
- Sam Darnold (QB USC) +600
- Baker Mayfield (QB Oklahoma) +700
- Josh Rosen (QB UCLA) +800
- Saquon Barkley (RB Penn State) +900
- Jalen Hurts (QB Alabama) +900
- Mason Rudolph (QB Oklahoma State) +900
- JT Barrett (QB Ohio State) +1400
- Derrius Guice (RB LSU) +1600
- Bo Scarbrough (RB Alabama) +2000
- Jake Browning (QB Washington) +2000
- Nick Chubb (RB Georgia) +2500
- Trace McSorley (QB Penn State) +2500
- Jarrett Stidham (QB Auburn) +3300
- Derwin James (S FSU) +4000
- Nick Fitzgerald (QB Mississippi State) +4000
- Kamryn Pettway (RB Auburn) +4000
- Luke Falk (QB Washington State) +5000
Here is the deal: It is just now September. There are tons of games left to be played. You can certainly take this information with a grain a salt. Not only because there's a billion games left to be played, but due to the fact that gambling websites aren't predicting the winners as much as they are trying to create action. There's no action created if the odds remain the same throughout the season.
For a slightly clearer version of the odds:
Making the biggest move in the Heisman Trophy race this week is Josh Rosen.
In UCLA’s historic come-from-behind win over Texas A&M, the junior completed 35-of-59 passes for a career-high 491 yards and four touchdown passes. He is good at the football.
Louisville gunslinger Lamar Jackson … also good.
