Shopping Heisman Odds Post-Week 9 Shows Different Favorites

Travis Hunter is the betting favorite to win the Heisman Trophy at BetOnline and Bovada, but DraftKings and FanDuel favor Dillon Gabriel’s Heisman odds.
Former favorite Ashton Jeanty’s Heisman odds dropped as low as +440 at FanDuel.
Heisman odds show Cam Ward is another contender, with odds ranging from +270 to +350.

BOULDER, Colo. – Heisman Trophy betting odds after Week 9 vary by the sportsbook, but Ashton Jeanty is no longer the consensus favorite. Travis Hunter leads legal sportsbooks licensed internationally, while state-regulated books favor Oregon Ducks quarterback Dillon Gabriel’s odds to win the Heisman.

Heisman Trophy Odds By Sportsbook

Player	BetOnline	Bovada	DraftKings	FanDuel
Dillon Gabriel	+240	+250	+260	+230
Travis Hunter	+225	+210	+330	+270
Ashton Jeanty	+350	+325	+400	+440
Cam Ward	+350	+350	+270	+300

In terms of average odds by sportsbook, Dillon Gabriel is the Heisman Trophy betting favorite at +245 odds. Betting on Gabriel to win the Heisman at Oregon sportsbook apps like BetOnline (+240), Bovada (+250), or DraftKings (+260) offer the most value.

Meanwhile, Travis Hunter emerged as the betting favorite to win the Heisman Trophy at BetOnline and Bovada. DraftKings isn’t convinced a non-quarterback will win the award, listing Dillon Gabriel and Cam Ward above everyone else.

Ashton Jeanty’s Heisman Odds Fall Despite Solid Performance

Although these U.S. sportsbooks vary on favorites, one thing each legal college football betting site agrees on is Ashton Jeanty’s odds getting longer. The Boise State running back had 128 rushing yards and a touchdown against a top-30 run defense in the UNLV Rebels, yet saw his odds fall beneath the likes of Travis Hunter and Dillon Gabriel at every sportsbook.

The same logic didn’t apply to Miami Hurricanes quarterback Cam Ward, who was held to zero passing or rushing touchdowns and just 208 passing yards against the Florida State Seminoles. Despite his worst performance of the season, FL sportsbook apps made his odds even shorter to win the Heisman, especially at DraftKings where he has +270 odds.

The best value on Cam Ward’s Heisman odds are at Bovada and BetOnline, who both offer +350 odds. A $1,000 wager on Cam Ward to win the Heisman at Bovada pays out $4,500, $800 more than if the bet is placed at the +270 odds offered by DraftKings.
