Heisman Trophy odds updated: C.J. Stroud takes back lead from Hendon Hooker

C.J. Stroud was a great college quarterback. Stroud may have gone 0-2 against the Michigan Wolverines, but his decision to head to the NFL weakens the Buckeyes at the position until proven otherwise. Michigan's odds to three-peat as Big Ten Champions and beat the Buckeyes for a third consecutive year just increased. However, there are some caveats…

Having barely missed out on the College Football Playoff, Caleb Williams can take some consolation in being the favorite to prevail in another four-member competition: the Heisman Trophy voting. Williams, who lit up the Pac-12 in his first season at Southern California, took his expected place Monday as one of the finalists for college football's…

Caleb Williams looked like a virtual lock to win the Heisman Trophy last week, but USC lost 47-24 to Utah in the Pac-12 Championship Game. Still, Williams performed well and still is a heavy favorite to take home the hardware. The award winnner is set to be announced Saturday night in New York City. Williams was injured early in the game, but…

The Heisman Trophy odds board at DraftKings Sportsboo k did not change after conference championship weekend despite the USC Trojans dropping out of the top four in the College Football Playoff rankings.

TCU quarterback Max Duggan left it all out on the field in the Big 12 Championship against Kansas State. The senior pivot passed for 251 yards and one touchdown while rushing for 110 yards and an additional score in a 31-28 OT loss to Kansas State. Duggan had a 40-yard run to set up the game-tying touchdown in the fourth quarter and came up just…

The Heisman voting will take place after Conference Championship weekend but before the College Football Playoff, meaning contenders have one final game to impress the media. The four Heisman finalists will officially be announced on December 5th, and the trophy will be presented on December 10th live in New York. USC Trojans quarterback Caleb…

The Game will not only decide who advances to the Big Ten Championship Game, but it could determine who wins the Heisman Trophy as well. There will be plenty on the line Saturday afternoon in the top-three showdown between Ohio State and Michigan in Columbus: An undefeated 12-0 regular season, the Big Ten East title and a spot in the Big Ten…

This week, USC faces Notre Dame and they are five-point favorites according to the sportsbooks. While it might look like a struggle for Williams according to the odds, the Notre Dame defense does not seem to be able to defend the pass. It could be another big night for Williams as he looks to strengthen his Heisman bid, but a Trojans loss could be…

And then there were two - and by that we mean weeks remaining in the 2022-23 college football regular season and legitimate candidates remaining on the Heisman Trophy odds board. After one of the top contenders sustained a season-ending knee injury in a stunning blowout loss last week and another contender came up lame in a narrow victory at home,…

USC quarterback Caleb Williams may have earned his invite to New York with his performance in Week 12. The ex-Oklahoma pivot had 503 yards of total offense and accounted for three touchdowns in a crucial 48-45 win over UCLA. USC vs UCLA was the marquee matchup of Week 12, and all of the college football watched as Williams lead the Trojans to…

The Heisman is a single-season award, but voters may be inclined to lean Stroud's way this year after the OSU pivot finished as the runner-up last season. It certainly helps the Buckeyes are undefeated, and Stroud leads the nation with 34 TD tosses. Something worth noting regarding Ohio State's Week 11 game is that the team lost running back Miyan…

C.J. Stroud had a season-low 76 passing yards in a high-wind advisory 21-7 victory against Northwestern in Week 10 - and he reclaimed his spot as the Heisman Trophy front-runner. Stroud now has the best odds to win the award according to BetMGM, and that could be in large part because of what lies ahead. No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Michigan will…

It's been 47 years since the last time a college football player won the Heisman Trophy in consecutive seasons. That drought is a virtual lock to continue until at least 2023 when this year's award is handed out Dec. 10. That's because Alabama's shocking overtime loss at LSU on Saturday not only effectively knocked the two-loss Crimson Tide out of…

In the final third of the season, we're looking at a tight race between the two Heisman frontrunners, and now they've swapped positions since last week, according to the DraftKings Sportsbook.

The senior pivot passed for 276 yards and three touchdowns in a 65-24 victory over FCS UT Martin. Hooker didn't have one of his best games statistically in Week 8 (only played first half), but sportsbooks were still impressed by his…

Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud was already the+150 favorite to win the Heisman at FanDuel entering Week 6. By the time the Buckeyes' clash with Michigan State concluded, however, Stroud had become an even heavier favorite.

Ohio State prepares for Big Ten play with a 3-0 mark and a solid candidate - maybe even the favorite - for the Heisman Trophy.

As the veritable face of a college football season, the award's significance…

The Heisman Trophy is awarded annually to the most outstanding player in college football every…

The 2022 Heisman odds suggest a player on Ohio State is likely to take home college football's most prestigious award this season. Buckeyes' QB CJ Stroud, RB TreVeyon Henderson and WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba are all top-10 favorites for the trophy. This scenario is reminiscent of 2020, when Alabama QB Mac Jones, RB Najee Harris and WR DeVonta Smith all…

After expanding in recent weeks to add TCU's Max Duggan, North Carolina's Drake Maye and others, the Heisman Trophy watchlist has eliminated all contenders but Ohio State's C.J. Stroud and Southern California's Caleb Williams. If the season ended today, Williams would be tough to beat. He's been on a historic run for more than a month, culminating…

Alabama's wide receiver DeVonta Smith is in position to win the coveted award and MyBookie Sportsbook has the best odds to win the Heisman Trophy.
