Not surprisingly, the best player on the best team in the nation is getting some love from the wagering establishment.
Beginning the 2018 season, Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa was a 4/1 favorite to win this year’s Heisman Trophy according to Bovada.lv; the next week, those odds shortened to 10/3. With Week 3 put to bed, Bovada has installed the quarterback as a sizable 3/2 favorite.
The true sophomore’s two main betting competitors at the moment, West Virginia quarterback Will Grier and Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins, saw their odds lengthen a bit at 13/2 and 7/1, respectively. Grier had been at 9/2 a week ago, Haskins at 13/2.
Haskins’ teammate, running back J.K. Dobbins, made one of the biggest jumps as he has gone from 50/1 to 20/1. Mississippi State quarterback Nick Fitzgerald was also a big mover at 33/1, up from 80/1.
Trace McSorely took one of the bigger tumbles, with the Penn State quarterback going from 19/2 to 16/1.
Below are the latest set of odds to win the 2018 Heisman Trophy, again courtesy of Bovada.lv:
