Updated Heisman Trophy odds after Week 1 produces new favorite
After an entire offseason of talking about who had the best odds to win college football’s most prestigious award, we finally got to see the country’s top talent make their first impression and case for winning the Heisman in this weekend’s week 1 action.
Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud was the favorite to win the award for a majority of the offseason and headed into week 1, but Alabama quarterback and last year’s Heisman winner Bryce Young reclaimed the top spot after his six touchdown, opening day performance.

The top three on the list are the same names from Vegas Insider’s list following week 0 with Young, Stroud, and USC quarterback Caleb Williams. But a new quarterback made the list and made a very high appearance for his debut at the No. 4 spot in Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett, sitting at +1600 odds. Bennett had an electric performance in week 1 against Oregon, throwing for 368 yards, two touchdowns, and added a rushing score to his stat line.

Quarterbacks like Casey Thompson (+15000) and Sean Clifford (+15000) also made new appearances on the list, but the interesting new face may be Clemson freshman quarterback Cade Klubnik, who played in one series in Clemson’s opener leading a ten-play touchdown drive.
Klubnik’s odds are still lower than Clemson’s current starting quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei, who sits at +3000, but it will be interesting to see how both Tiger QBs’ odds change throughout the year, in a season loaded with talented players all across the country that can potentially take home the trophy. It should be a fun Heisman race to watch all year long.
