Week 4 around college football arguably brought us the most earth-shanking 2026 Heisman Trophy odds change to date. Receivers don't win the award very often, but Ohio State superstar wideout Jeremiah Smith is your new +245 favorite at DraftKings after an epic performance Saturday in a blowout of Illinois in the Buckeyes' Big Ten opener. Bet on college football at DraftKings, where new users get $150 when they spend $5+: Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss took over as the Heisman favorite at +310 following a huge Week 3 game in the victory in the Lane Kiffin Bowl against LSU.
While Chambliss played well this past Saturday, most of his teammates didn't as the Rebs were trucked at then-No. 21 Florida, 52-28. Chambliss didn't have injured star running back Kewan Lacy so was pretty much a one-man show, throwing for 298 yards with a TD and pick while rushing for two scores. His odds rose to +1150, and he's now the fourth favorite.
The Gators rushed for a whopping 302 yards on Ole Miss coach Pete Golding's supposedly stingy defense. Jadan Baugh carried 29 times for 142 yards and three scores. I watched that entire game, and Baugh just bulldozing guys left and right like an old Earl Campbell or John Riggins would was really fun to watch.
Baugh was generally off the board Week 1 and around +6000 entering Week 4 but is now +1200. Miami's Darian Mensah was the favorite post-Week 2 but then lost that edge to Chambliss post-Week 3. Mensah had another spectacular game in the Hurricanes' 52-3 win over Central Michigan on Saturday, completing 23 of 27 for 338 yards and three scores.
The Duke transfer incredibly only has 12 incompletions in 106 pass attempts and has thrown for 1,211 yards, 14 touchdowns and zero picks. And he's not even playing full games yet. Mensah moved from +370 entering Week 4 to now the +400 second favorite behind Smith, who is from Miami Gardens and was one the Hurricanes let get away recruiting-wise.
Can you imagine Mensah, Smith and Malachi Toney (+1750 for Heisman) on the 2026 Canes?
