The 2024 college football season is underway, Week 1 is in the books and Heisman odds are on the move.

One of the most notable shifts was Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart surging to +850 from +1400.

That move put him second on the board, right ahead of Georgia’s Carson Beck (+900) and immediately behind favorite Dillon Gabriel (+800).

Let’s dive into the latest odds at DraftKings Sportsbook.

* odds as of 9/2/24

Gabriel is a sixth-year senior and is starting for an Oregon squad that’s among the favorites to win the national title in 2024.

He transferred to Eugene after throwing for 3,660 yards, 30 touchdowns and six interceptions to go with 12 rushing touchdowns at Oklahoma last season. He led the Sooners to a 9-3 record.

Ahead of its release, Gabriel was listed as the fourth-highest-rated quarterback in the highly anticipated “College Football 25” video game.

CFB Preview: Heisman Trophy odds and best bets

At No. 2 on the betting board is Jaxson Dart. In the Ole Miss season opener, he threw for 418 yards and rushed for 27 in his team’s 76-0 demolishing of Furman.

UGA’s Beck rounds out the top three. His odds lengthened slightly to +900 from +850 over the past week.

Further down the board is Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders, whose odds shortened after Week 1 to +2200 from +3500.

FOX Sports national college football analyst RJ Young ranked Sanders No. 1 in his ultimate CFB superstars list and wrote: “In addition to his outstanding playmaking ability, Sanders is also the most popular player in the sport. He became Fanatics’ top-selling college football player in the name, image and likeness era, despite Colorado going 4-8 last year. He also has the participation of his father and Colorado head coach, Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders.”

Watch Noah Fifita and Cam Rising

January is for mining value in the Heisman market. I’m not betting on any of the favorites now because those prices will mostly hold steady through the summer.

I’m interested in two longer shots: Noah Fifita (+2000 at time of pick, currently +4000) and Cam Rising (+7000 at time of pick, currently +4000).

It’s undoubtedly Fifita’s show in Tucson going forward, and he has a stable of talented wideouts, led by sophomore Tetairoa McMillan.

Meanwhile, Rising is a longer shot with legs. He threw for 3,000 yards and accounted for 32 touchdowns two seasons ago, but missed all of 2023 after tearing his ACL in the Rose Bowl.

Utah should be favored in its first six games and if Rising puts up numbers, those 60- and 70-1 odds will evaporate.
