Rudolph’s Heisman Odds Improve after 4-TD Opener
Mason Rudolph had himself quite a 2017 debut. The senior record-setter threw for 303 yards and three scores, rushed for another one and had just four incompletions. Vegas took note of the production — and of the firepower around Rudolph — and shortened his Heisman odds considerably.
As of August 31, Rudolph was given 25/1 odds to win that prestigious award given to college football’s best player. But after his captaining of Oklahoma State to a comfortable win in its home opener, he’s made a jump to 9/1 odds, now tied for fifth-best.
Here’s a look at the current odds according to sports betting service Bovada.
Current Heisman Odds
| Player | Position | School | Odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lamar Jackson | QB | Louisville | 4/1 |
| Sam Darnold | QB | USC | 6/1 |
| Baker Mayfield | QB | Oklahoma | 7/1 |
| Josh Rosen | QB | UCLA | 8/1 |
| Mason Rudolph | QB | Oklahoma State | 9/1 |
| Saquon Barkely | RB | Penn State | 9/1 |
| Jalen Hurts | QB | Alabama | 9/1 |
| JT Barrett | QB | Ohio State | 14/1 |
| Derrius Guice | RB | LSU | 16/1 |
| Bo Scarbrough | RB | Alabama | 20/1 |
| Jake Browning | QB | Washington | 20/1 |
| Nick Chubb | RB | Georgia | 25/1 |
| Trace McSorley | QB | Penn State | 25/1 |
| Jarrett Stidham | QB | Auburn | 33/1 |
| Derwin James | S | Florida State | 40/1 |
| Nick Fitzgerald | QB | Mississippi State | 40/1 |
| Kamryn Pettway | RB | Auburn | 40/1 |
| Luke Falk | QB | Washington State | 50/1 |
Other movers on the board were last year’s winner Lamar Jackson who is now the favorite at 4/1 odds. The previous favorite, USC’s Sam Darnold went from 9/2 odds to 5/1. Alabama’s Jalen Hurts jumped from 16/1 to 9/1 and UCLA’s Josh Rosen went from 25/1 to 8/1. Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield stuck at 7/1 odds.
With some of the big names — and big-name schools — in the mix, Rudolph would have to put up quite the numbers to get an invite to New York. Luckily for him, he will have every opportunity to do just that with the bevy of playmakers at his disposal. It should be a fun season for Oklahoma State fans. Just win and the accolades will follow.
