Stanford running back Bryce Love is the early favorite to win the 2018 Heisman Trophy.

Bovada released the following odds Tuesday afternoon:

  • Bryce Love +700
  • Johnathan Taylor +800
  • Khalil Tate +900
  • Tua Tagovailoa +900
  • J.K. Dobbins +1200
  • Jake Fromm +1200
  • Jarrett Stidham +1200
  • Will Grier +1500
  • Justin Herbert +1500
  • Kelly Bryant +1500
  • McKenzie Milton +1800
  • Trace McSorely +1800

These odds seem pretty correct to me. The top four are without a doubt the same way I’d do it. It’s nice to see Johnathan Taylor finally get some damn respect. All he did last season was dominate the world of college football, and he didn’t even get an invite to the Heisman ceremony.

Another important takeaway here is that oddsmakers think Tua is going to win the Alabama job, and dominate the SEC. Of course, that was obvious for anybody with eyes watching the national title game. Tua is a very special talent.

Well, it’s only January and we’re already back to talking college football. Life is good!
