Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty remains the Heisman Trophy favorite at +220. Yet, Miami quarterback Cam Ward (+250) and Oregon signal-caller Dillon Gabriel (+350) remain in contention.

Ashton Jeanty responded to Travis Hunter’s comments on the Heisman race👀

“Kudos to Travis, he’s balling for real. He’s doing some stuff we ain’t ever seen nobody do. Personally, I don’t take no offense to it. He’s just speaking his opinion, everybody’s got an opinion.

Let’s take a look at my college football picks for the top contenders to win the Heisman Trophy.

Bet These 3 Players in Our Odds to Win the Heisman Trophy

1. Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders Is Being Undervalued (+5000)

America’s favorite rapper Shedeur Sanders is being criminally undervalued for the Heisman Trophy. Somehow, Sanders is way down the list at +5000.

This is what we know to be true. No college football team gets the same coverage as Colorado, and the Buffs remain in Big 12 contention as Halloween nears. Here’s how the Buffs finish their season: Cincinnati, Texas Tech, Utah, Kansas and Oklahoma State.

Shedeur Sanders SHOULD be apart of ALL Heisman Talks right now:

*Leads CFB In Completions- 195
*Top 4 In Completion %- 72.2
Top 5 In Pass Yards- 2,268
*Top 5 in Pass TDs- 19
4 Games with 300+ Yards
Colorado holds a 5-2 record

*= Lead BIG12

There’s a good chance Coach Prime’s squad is going to be favored in all these matchups. Sanders’ odds are going to drop if Colorado can make a run to the Big 12 title game.

Regardless, Sanders is still an amazing value at +5000 with plenty of football remaining.

Bet on Shedeur Sanders to Win the Heisman Trophy (+5000)

2. Miami QB Cam Ward Is Putting Up Video Game Numbers

Every year, there is a dynamic quarterback that takes over the college football world. Last season, it was Jayden Daniels at LSU.

Ward is this quarterback for 2024. The Miami star is putting up video game numbers. Heading into Week 9, Ward has thrown for 2,538 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions while completing 68.7% of his passes.

Ward has also added 190 rushing yards and 3 TDs on the ground. It is not a bargain at +250 in the NCAA football odds, but Ward stands a great chance to win the Heisman.

Bet on Cam Ward to Win the Heisman Trophy (+250)

3. Colorado Two-Way Star Travis Hunter Still Stands a Great Chance

How does any defender stand a chance to stop the streak of offensive players winning the Heisman Trophy? How about by playing offense and defense?

The last defensive player to win the Heisman followed a similar model as Charles Woodson won the award in 1997. There is a major difference between Woodson and Travis Hunter.

Unlike Woodson, the Colorado star is playing nearly every snap on both offense and defense. Hunter is not only playing both sides but is among the best players at both cornerback and wide receiver.

Hunter is a great value at +1800 at the BetUS Sportsbook.
