2026 Heisman trophy odds, betting: Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss is new Heisman favorite after win over Lane Kiffin's LSU Tigers

The Ole Miss QB is the new favorite to win the Heisman trophy, ahead of Darian Mensah.

Trinidad Chambliss, the quarterback for Ole Miss, delivered an outstanding performance during the Rebels' 32-24 victory over LSU Tigers, formerly coached by Lane Kiffin. Chambliss showcased his skills by throwing for 363 yards on 33-of-48 passes, scoring two touchdowns and securing a game-winning rushing touchdown in the final quarter.

His exceptional play earned him a new favorite status among oddsmakers as a potential Heisman Trophy winner. Prior to the game, Chambliss had 13-1 odds, ranking fifth among sportsbooks. However, his remarkable performance against LSU surpassed even Miami (FL) quarterback Darian Mensah's impressive showings. Mensah, the initial favorite with +450 odds, completed 24 of 34 passes for 220 yards and three touchdowns in a 33-20 win against Wake Forest.

Chambliss entered the betting weekend as the ninth-most wagered player (3.9%) for the Heisman Trophy, with a total of 4.2% of bets placed on him. Ole Miss, currently ranked 8th, is a 1.5-point underdog for their upcoming game against Florida on September 26.
