USC’s Sam Darnold remains Bovada’s Heisman betting favorite

Not surprisingly, the wagering favorite for one of the most storied awards in sports remains unchanged.

Back in January, Bovada.lv installed USC quarterback Sam Darnold as a 9/1 favorite to win the 2017 Heisman Trophy; a month later, those odds shortened to 4/1. Tuesday, the same wagering establishment released its updated Heisman odds, with Darnold remaining a 4-1 favorite.

Up next this time around, however, is Saquon Barkley at 7/1. In February, the Penn State running back was at 12/1 and behind four other players.

After that, it’s Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield at 15/2 (he was 13/2 in Feb.), Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett at 8/1 (12/1) and Louisville quarterback and reigning Heisman winner Lamar Jackson at 8/1 (13/2).

No other positions other than quarterbacks and running backs were listed.

Below is the complete set of 2017 Heisman Trophy odds, again courtesy of Bovada.lv.
