A third different Pac-12 quarterback this season has become the Heisman Trophy betting favorite.
Oregon’s Bo Nix (-110 at DraftKings) owns the top spot but three other players seemingly have a legitimate chance, based on the odds.
Washington QB Michael Penix Jr. is currently tied for the second-favorite at +370, after being the favorite most of the past month. The two schools are on course to face each other again in the conference title game, and the Ducks would be favored by a little less than a touchdown.
LSU’s Jayden Daniels is lurking at +370, even though the Tigers have three losses. On Saturday against Florida, he became the first FBS player ever to have at least 350 passing yards and 200 rushing yards. He also accounted for five total touchdowns.
Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is the fourth-favorite at +600. He was in the neighborhood of 50-1 when the season began, given non-quarterbacks rarely win this award.
Michigan quarterback JJ McCarthy, who was a betting favorite for one week, is now +9000.
USC’s Caleb Williams won the Heisman last year and entered this season as the betting favorite but is now a 200-to-1 longshot. The Trojans have four losses.
