As we head into the summer months, it’s probably much too early to be talking about college football, with the start of the new season still some way off in the distance. Still, there are plenty of things to talk about, starting with whether Georgia will be able to pull off the three-peat. They will almost certainly be loaded with talent again, despite once again losing a ton of players to the NFL, but the big question will be at QB, where Carson Beck looks set to take over the reins from Stetson Bennett, who led the Dawgs to back-to-back championships. If Georgia can make it 3 in a row, Beck might be in the Heisman conversation, but he is not among the favorites right now. Let’s take a quick look at who the bookies do like, so you can bet against NCAA Football odds.

Caleb Williams (+440)

Betting Pick: +440

We are not denying how talented Williams is, but we have to say that it is a little surprising to see him in as the favorite to win the Heisman in back-to-back seasons. The reason we say that is because Archie Griffin is the only player to have ever won the award twice, with that coming back in the 1970s. Williams is coming off a great season with USC and will be looking to impress pro scouts who will be clamoring to get him on their NFL team at next season’s draft. He may be the favorite, but I still think he is a longshot, if that makes sense.

Jordan Travis

Betting Pick: +1250

There were some who thought that Travis might declare for the NFL Draft after an excellent season under center for the Florida State Seminoles, but he quickly announced that he would be returning for his 5th season. I think this might be a smart move, as he will almost certainly see his stock rise if he can post similar numbers, or perhaps even better, to what he did last season. I think he does need to improve upon his TD totals if he is to win this prestigious award.

Michael Penix Jr

Betting Pick: +1350

After toiling away as the QB for the Indiana Hoosiers for 4 seasons, Penix Jr. transferred to Washington last season and saw his career take a huge uptick. He led the Huskies to an impressive 11-2 record, throwing for over 4,600 yards and 31 TD. His numbers across the board were a huge improvement on anything he had done during his time with the Hoosiers, with many now adopting a wait and see attitude in terms of his being able to match or improve on those stats.

Drake Maye

Betting Pick: +1375

After throwing just 10 passes for the UNC Tar Heels in the 2021 season, Maye was handed the reins last year, and you have to say that he took full advantage of the opportunity. Maye led his team to a 9-5 record, throwing for over 4,300 yards. He had 38 TD passes versus just 7 INT, and there is a definite sense that he is only going to get better in his second full season under center for the Tar Heels. For me, he might well be the one to take a chance on, especially at these odds, as we will see them shorten for sure if he comes out of the gate quickly this season.

Heisman Trophy Betting Favorites and Odds Update 2022 | NCAA Football Lines

We are in a little bit of a lull in the world of college football now that the regular season and the conference championship games are all done and dusted. Next up is bowl season, which gets rolling in a little under 2 weeks from now. We will have a ton of bowl coverage coming your way, as well as previews of the playoff games and the teams taking part. Even though there is some time until we get to the postseason, there is still some other business to attend to, starting with the Heisman Trophy. There appears to be a rather clear favorite, but let’s take a look at the current Heisman Trophy Betting Odds.

Caleb Williams (-2500)

The USC Trojans QB is the front runner for the Heisman, but you have to say that it was a disappointing end to the season for him and his team. The Trojans lost to the Utah Utes in the PAC-12 Championship Game, with Williams picking up a hamstring injury that may well keep him out of the upcoming bowl game. That aside, Williams threw for over 4,000 yards and37 TDs against just 4 INT. Those are certainly Heisman type numbers, especially compared to the competition.

Max Duggan (+2000)

The TCU Horned Frogs have been one of the feel-good stories of the year, and you have to say that QB Max Duggan is a big part of the reason why TCU are in the playoffs. Even though they came up short in the Big 12 Conference Championship Game, Duggan took the team on his shoulders in the 4^th quarter and almost singlehandedly go them to OT before eventually coming up a half-yard short. His numbers are not as good as Williams’’, but you could argue that he means more to his team, who might not be where they are without him.

Stetson Bennett (+3300)

For years now, the Georgia Bulldogs have been a team that consistently runs the football and who have a group of backs that are truly brilliant. That said, Bennett has played an integral part in leading the Bulldogs to back-to-back unbeaten regular seasons, an SEC Conference Championship, and a National Championship. Not too shabby for a guy that most football fans outside of Athens wrote off. Still, his numbers this season simply don’t compare to the guys ahead of him here, which makes him a longshot to win.

CJ Stroud (+5000) and Bryce Young (+10000)

Winning the Heisman Trophy in back-to-back seasons is a total longshot, and it seems like we won’t see it happen here. Bryce Young had another great season for Alabama but missing the playoffs has probably sealed his fate. It may not be fair, but that’s how it goes. Stroud tied Williams for TD passes this season with 37, but he is behind him in most of the other QB categories. He did, though, lead his team to the playoffs, although they got in via the back door after USC lost in the PAC-12 Conference Championship Game. Both of these guys would very much appear to be longshots at best.
