Overview

  • No. 2 Miami fell 24-21 to unranked Louisville as Carson Beck threw four interceptions, and DraftKings lengthened his Heisman odds from +360 to +5000.
  • Odds varied by sportsbook after the loss, with On3/FanDuel reflecting Beck around +2500, underscoring a fragmented market reaction.
  • DraftKings listed Fernando Mendoza (+240), Ty Simpson (+360) and Julian Sayin (+425) as the top three candidates as of Saturday.
  • Week 8 performances strengthened their cases: Mendoza threw for 332 yards and four touchdowns vs. Michigan State, Simpson had 253 yards and two scores in a win over Tennessee, and Sayin posted 393 yards and four touchdowns in a shutout of Wisconsin.
  • Beck took responsibility postgame, saying he must protect the ball better and acknowledging he may have been too aggressive on the throws that led to turnovers.
