How to read the Heisman odds table
Each row is a player, and the percentage is the market's implied chance they win. A player at 18% is the current favorite if no one is higher. The 24-hour change column shows momentum — a green number means money moved toward that player today.
Why prediction markets beat preseason lists
Magazine Heisman watchlists are frozen in August. A prediction market re-prices every play: a five-touchdown Saturday or a season-ending injury shows up in the odds within minutes. That makes the live table the fastest read on the race.
