The 2024 college football regular season is nearing its end, with only two weeks of regular season games remaining, and we're starting to get a bigger picture of who will win the Heisman Trophy.
Based on odds updated this week, Colorado two-way superstar Travis Hunter has emerged as the clear favorite on the market.
This article details the latest odds for the 2024 Heisman Trophy.
I use odds from FanDuel Sportsbook, but I recommend shopping around for the best numbers before placing your bet. Let's take a look at the latest market.
Colorado WR/CB Travis Hunter (-330)
Colorado posted records of 6-1 and 8-2 in the Big 12, far exceeding any reasonable expectations coming into this year's preseason.
Two-way phenom Travis Hunter has been a driving force behind the Buffaloes' success, catching 74 passes for 911 yards and nine touchdowns, with 23 tackles, eight passes defensed and three interceptions on defense. did.
The Buffs are the favorites to win the conference championship, and the deadline for Heisman voting is Monday, the day after the conference championship Saturday.
If Hunter leads his team to a win and qualifies for the College Football Playoff, he will be close to winning the Heisman.

Boise State RB Ashton Giunty (+350)
Ashton Giunty has 2,650 rushing yards and is on pace to break Barry Sanders' 36-year-old record, assuming he benefits from a 14-game schedule. This includes the remaining two games of the regular season, the Mountain West Championship contest and the CFP first round game.
However, the record probably won't be broken until that CFP game.
Either way, I've never seen a path for a Group of Five running back to actually win the Heisman. East Coast voters aren't likely to stay up late to watch Boise State football. Gentil seems like a popular second or third choice on the ballot, but I don't think he's garnering enough first-place votes.

Miami QB Cameron Ward (+1400)
If there's one thing I'm betting on in the Heisman market today, it's on Cameron Ward at 14-1 odds. Miami is on a bye a week after a blowout loss to Georgia Tech, but Ward still leads the FBS with 3,494 passing yards and 32 touchdowns. Perhaps more importantly, the Hurricanes remain the favorites to win the ACC championship.
This week's game is a chance for Ward to put up big numbers against a dominant Wake Forest defense, as Week 14 opponent Syracuse is 7-3, but the Orange rank 98th in pass-by percentage. Ranked. If Ward can improve over the next two weeks and lead the Canes to the ACC title, his 14-1 odds to win the Heisman Trophy will look very long.
Next: Miami hosts Wake Forest as a 23.5-point favorite to win.
Oregon State QB Dillon Gabriel (25/1)
Dillon Gabriel's Heisman odds have dropped dramatically after last week's ugly performance on the road against Wisconsin. He completed 22 of 31 passes for 218 yards and one interception in the narrow victory.
Gabriel plays for the top-ranked team in the country, but lacks the gaudy numbers of Ward or the superstar-like personality of Hunter. He's scheduled to be absent again this week, which could be a death sentence for “What have you done for me lately?” The world of Heisman voting.
Next: Oregon State gets a bye in Week 13.
Indiana QB Curtis Rourke (30/1)
Can Indiana turn the college football world upside down with a road win over Ohio State this week?
That would have been unthinkable before the season, but the 10-0 Hoosiers continue to defy expectations.
Rourke is extremely talented, ranking third in the FBS in passer rating, but only 30th in passing yards (2,410) and 16th in touchdowns (21).
If you believe the Hoosiers can pull off a program-defining upset this week, sprinkling on Rourke at 30-1 odds might be in order.
Next: Indiana visits Ohio State as an 11.5-point underdog

Alabama QB Jalen Milroe (+3300)
Milroe was my Heisman preseason pick, but he's had an up-and-down season and his passing acumen hasn't improved as much as I'd hoped. Still, his total of 32 passing and rushing touchdowns is on par with Ward's performance as a passer this season.
Alabama is second in SEC championship odds behind Texas, and if Milroe can lead the Crimson Tide to a conference title, he will be on the Heisman podium.
