Heisman Trophy Odds: New betting favorite emerges after Week 10

The Heisman Trophy race is heating up with a little more than a month left to go in the college football regular season. Ten weeks of play have now passed with only four more remaining before conference championships take place.

As such, FanDuel has updated its odds to win the 2024 Heisman Trophy. New favorites are at the top of the board following the Week 10 action, with two players sharing the honor.

A few players have taken massive jumps or tumbles in the odds, completely sharing up how the top 10 looks. You can view the full Heisman Trophy odds after Week 10, according to FanDuel, below.

Colorado CB/WR Travis Hunter (+185)

Hunter continues to be unlike anything we have seen in quite some time in college football, excelling at two positions. NFL teams are going to have a tough time whether he is considered a cornerback or wide receiver prospect.

Colorado is having a ton of on-field success too, still being alive for the Big 12 Championship. While Hunter is tied at the top of the odds right now, another great performance on a big stage could vault him to the lone favorite.

Miami QB Cam Ward (+185)

Sharing the title of betting favorite with Hunter is Ward, a quarterback of an undefeated team. Miami has been in a few close games this year but Ward’s brilliance has gotten them over the line.

The Heisman Trophy has become a quarterback award since the turn of the century. Now, another signal caller is the joint favorite to wind up being the winner.

Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel (+350)

Last week saw Gabriel as the favorite and while he was fantastic against Michigan, his odds significantly dropped. Gabriel now finds himself comfortably third in odds but will have multiple opportunities to increase his chances.

As things stand, it’s a safe bet to assume Gabriel will be in New York City. But if he wants to be the one heading back with the Heisman Trophy, the final three games plus a potential Big Ten Championship need to be spectacular.

Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty (+500)

Jeanty is the lone non-power conference player inside the top 10 and previously has been considered the favorite. Running back has been the position to win if not for quarterback, with the 2020 season being the exception.

However, there has been a slight dip in odds for Jeanty despite going for 149 yards and two touchdowns on Saturday. Another massive stat-filled game might be needed to get the Boise State RB back near the top.

Indiana QB Kurtis Rourke (+2000)

The Indiana story has been one of college football’s best and getting involved in the Heisman discussion would only add to it. Rourke is in his first season with the Hoosiers but has thrived under head coach Curt Cignetti.

Heisman moments can wind up being the difference at times. Rourke could get his when Indiana travels to Columbus on Nov. 23, hoping to shock the entire nation.

Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart (+2000)

As Ole Miss might be sneaking back into the CFP discussion, Dart is quietly rising the Heisman Trophy odds list. Last week saw Dart at +10000 and after the Rebels dominated Arkansas, he finds himself tied for fifth in odds.

Saturday afternoon will certainly provide a national audience as Ole Miss plays host to Georgia. A big performance against a top-three team and Dart will make his campaign even stronger.

Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders (+4500)

Colorado is the only school to have two players featured inside the top 10. And you could argue if not for Hunter, Sanders might have better odds compared to the +4500 he currently holds.

Leading the country in completion percentage and touchdowns usually means you are right in the mix for the Heisman. As mentioned with Hunter, the team’s success in Boulder is certainly helping out in a big way.

LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier (+6500)

You have to imagine after the first game against Texas A&M, Nussmeier was a whole lot higher on the list. However, a tough ending saw Nussmeier have multiple turnovers and bring a second LSU loss.

Even so, there is still optimism in the +6500 odds that Nussmeier can contend to win. Last year’s Heisman Trophy went back to Baton Rouge and the program certainly would love another one.

Clemson QB Cade Klubnik (+6500)

The second of a trio of quarterbacks listed at +6500, Klubnik dipped quite a bit following Clemson’s loss to Louisville. He was +1500 and in the top five but is now further down the board than likely wanted.

For all the success Dabo Swinney has found during his time at Clemson, the program still does not have a Heisman Trophy winner.

Alabama QB Jalen Milroe (+6500)

Milroe was a popular bet during the preseason but struggles have certainly been there. Alabama as a team has not completely clicked at times, having two losses before entering the month of November.

A few big matchups down the stretch might be why Milroe is still in the top 10. First up is LSU on Saturday where Crimson Tide CFP hopes might be on the line in Baton Rouge.
