Michael Penix Jr. New Heisman Favorite

Below are the opening spreads for Week 7 of the NFL season and Week 8 college football.

Additionally, there have been some major movements in the CFP and Heisman odds, and the most recent numbers are below.

Michael Penix Jr. is the Washington Huskies quarterback now the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy at 2/3 odds (payout would be $150 on a $100 bet).  His team managed a 36-33 win over a very good Oregon Ducks team this past weekend.

Highlights included throwing for 302 yards and four touchdowns including the game winner with 1:38 left.

ESPN's Paul Finebaum was among those jumping on the Penix Jr. bandwagon.

“It was the biggest game of the year, it was the best game of the year, and it was the biggest moment of the year by Michael Penix Jr.,” Finebaum said. “You cannot say, ‘Give him the Heisman,’ although I’m tempted to on this Sunday morning. But he now has at least one hand wrapped around it, and there are other big games that he will play and he has to continue to play well.”
