Heisman Trophy Odds 2025: Biggest Week 5 Takeaways and Betting Movement
Following a Week 5 that was arguably the best of the college football season, there's a new Heisman Trophy odds favorite after Indiana's Fernando Mendoza didn't have his best showing against Iowa.
Mendoza had the top spot on the board heading into Week 5 after it was announced earlier in the week that the previous favorite, Oklahoma's John Mateer, would miss several weeks due to a thumb injury. But Mendoza's hold didn't last long after Oregon's Dante Moore led the Ducks to a double overtime win against Penn State on the road in Week 5.
So with Moore as the new Heisman Trophy odds favorite, is he the best player to bet with your college football picks following Week 5?
