Dante Moore New Consensus Heisman Favorite After Oregon’s Double-OT Win at Penn State

Odds markets elevated the Oregon quarterback after his double-overtime road win, leaving a tight pack of challengers entering Week 6.

Overview

  • DraftKings, as reported by PFF, lists Dante Moore as the Heisman favorite at +750, followed by Ty Simpson (+850), with Jeremiah Smith (+1000) the only non-quarterback in the top tier ahead of Carson Beck (+1100) and Fernando Mendoza (+1200).
  • FanDuel odds via CBS Sports put Moore at +600 entering Week 6, with Simpson at +950, Beck at +1000 and Smith at +1000 among the closest pursuers.
  • BetMGM figures reported by USA TODAY also show Moore on top at +750, with Beck second at +900 and Smith and Simpson tied at +1000.
  • Moore’s rise follows Oregon’s 30-24 double-overtime road win over third-ranked Penn State, while Simpson surged after Alabama’s victory at No. 5 Georgia.
  • Florida State’s Tommy Castellanos slid after a double-overtime loss to Virginia, and his meeting with Miami in Week 6 is being framed as a pivotal opportunity in both the Heisman race and the ACC picture.
