With the start of the 2018 college football season just around the corner, the latest Heisman Trophy betting odds have been released. For much of the offseason, Stanford running back Bryce Love, a Heisman finalist alongside Louisville’s Lamar Jackson and eventual winner Baker Mayfield a year ago, was considered the favorite.
That has all changed, however, with Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa leapfrogging into the top position with 4-1 odds.
The Score shared the latest odds from Westgate Las Vegas Superbook, which have the sophomore signal-caller in the top spot. Rounding out the top three is Love at 5-1 and Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor at 8-1. Khalil Tate of Arizona has 12-1 odds, while a pair of quarterbacks — Trace McSorley of Penn State and West Virginia’s Will Grier — have 15-1 odds.
Baker Mayfield, who won the most prestigious award in college football a year ago, entered the season at 44-1 odds, so you can never count anyone out.
The latest odds can be seen below.
