Love went into the season with +3000 odds to win the Heisman on college football prop betting sites and it’s been a rollercoaster ride ever since.

Is There A Late Case For Jeremiyah Love Heisman Odds?
There is no hiding that Love got off to a slow start to the season, having totaled 341 rushing yards in his first four games for an 85.3 yards per game average, which has hurt his opening Heisman odds of +5000.
However, he’s strongly turned that around in his last four games, totaling a massive 580 rush yards at a 145 per game average, which includes three games of over 100 yards and a massive career high of 228 yards.
He hasn’t had any issues in the touchdown department this season with 11 rushing touchdowns (T3rd in the country) and three receiving touchdowns.
Overall, even with his slow start, his rush yard total is still the sixth most in the country. If he continues on his current pace that he’s been on over the last month, he’ll easily surpass his 2024 rush yard total of 1,125.
That said, the answer is yes, there is still a strong case to make for Love to win the Heisman this season, and his +4000 odds on college football sportsbooks are certainly worth a light risk.
