Here’s A Closer Look At The College Football 2017 Heisman Trophy Odds

  Last year’s winner of the award, Louisville’s Lamar Jackson, and the No. 3 finisher in the voting, Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield are both tied as co-favorites at +580 while USC Trojans’  quarterback Sam Darnold sits alone as the No. 2 favorite at +650.Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett sits alone as a +800 pick while Washington quarterback Jake Browning and Florida State signal-caller Deondre Francois are close behind on the odds list at +1000.Elusive Penn State running back Saquon Barkley is the top non-quarterback on the list at +1200 and is followed on the non-quarterback odds by Alabama running back Bo Scarborough at +1600.Here is the full list of odds to win the 2017 Heisman Trophy

The Favorites

Lamar Jackson (Louisville) +580Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) +580Sam Darnold (USC) +650J.T. Barrett (Ohio St) +800Jake Browning (Washington) +1000Deondre Francois (Florida St) 1000Saquon Barkley (Penn St) +1200Jalen Hurts (Alabama) +1200Mason Rudolph (Oklahoma St) +1200Josh Rosen (UCLA) +1600Bo Scarbrough (Alabama) +1600Derrius Guice (LSU) +1600Trace McSorley (Penn St) +1600 Analysis: Right now, I’m thinking USC signal-caller Sam Darnold is my pick to win the 2017 Heisman after seeing the way he performed in the Rose Bowl against Penn State to finish off his 2016 campaign.And, speaking of Rose Bowl performers, I also believe Penn State’s Saquon Barkley and Trace McSorley will also both have a great shot – if the Nittany Lions stay in contention for a playoff berth next season while Louisville’s Lamar Jackson will almost surely not win after unleashing a campaign for the ages a year ago that he will almost certainly not be able to duplicate or top.My No. 2 pick to win the 2017 Heisman Trophy is Oklahoma signal-caller Baker Mayfield with my third pick going to Florida State signal-caller Deondre Francois.
