Heisman Watch: No, Arch Manning isn't a serious Heisman contender despite what his odds suggest

Arch Manning’s Heisman odds are preposterously out of line with his actual chances to win the award.

Manning is the No. 7 favorite at BetMGM after he skyrocketed up the board in his relief appearance in Week 3. After Quinn Ewers left the blowout win vs. UTSA with a strained abdomen, Manning threw four TD passes and ran for another.

It seems likely he’ll start in place of Ewers this week against Louisiana-Monroe. Ewers is questionable, according to coach Steve Sarkisian, but you can’t blame Texas for playing it safe.
