Before US LBM Coaches Poll No. 3 Notre Dame’s game against Miami, quarterback CJ Carr’s Heisman Trophy odds were near the top.
After Carr’s lights-out performance in the Fighting Irish’s win over the Hurricanes, the junior now has an even greater chance of winning the illustrious outstanding player of the year award.
According to DraftKings odds via ESPN’s Doug Greenberg, Carr is the new Heisman favorite at +130. Miami QB Darian Mensah’s odds to win it are +280.
Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith, who was previously the favorite, is third-best at +410.
On3 revealed Polymarket’s Heisman odds, which show Carr with a 32% chance of winning the Heisman. Polymarket is giving Mensah and 26% and 24% chances, respectively.
Carr was 29-of-40 on completions for 319
yards and three touchdowns against Miami on Saturday. The junior has now completed 67.6% of his passes for 2,168 yards, 21 TDs and an interception with a rating of 163.0.
