What odds does BetMGM give LSU's Garrett Nussmeier to win the Heisman?
LSU football is expecting a big year from quarterback Garrett Nussmeier in 2025. It's Nussmeier's fifth-year in college football after taking over the starting job last fall.
Results were mixed, but there was more good than bad. Nussmeier finished 2024 ranked No. 13 nationally in ESPN's QBR. With 4,052 passing yards and 29 touchdowns, he was one of the most productive quarterbacks in the country.
Nussmeier elected to return, signaling hope for what 2025 can be for LSU. LSU has a history of fifth-year quarterbacks having breakout campaigns. Joe Burrow and Jayden Daniels both won the Heisman trophy as fifth-year quarterbacks at LSU.
While it may be unfair, Nussmeier is going to hear those comparisons throughout the offseason. Just like Nussmeier's first year as a starter, Daniels and Burrow didn't immediately shine when they took the reigns. It's easy to see a similar narrative when looking at Nussmeier.
What chance does Nussmeier have of winning the Heisman?

Deon Cain shines in the Birmingham Stallions playoff loss to the Michigan Panthers
Deon Cain shines in the Birmingham Stallions playoff loss to the Michigan Panthers The UFL playoff semifinals delivered a rare sight on Sunday — a postseason loss for the Birmingham Stallions — but it wasn't due to a lack of effort from former Clemson wideout Deon Cain. Cain hauled in six receptions for 124 yards in Birmingham's 44-29 loss to the Michigan Panthers, who were powered by another Clemson alum in kicker BT Potter. Potter nailed a 36-yard field goal and has now made 12 of 17 attempts this season, helping send Michigan to the UFL Championship on June 14 in St. Louis (8 p.m., ABC). Cain, meanwhile, capped off a standout campaign that earned him All-UFL honors. He led the league in receiving yards per game (57.1) and yards per catch (17.7), finishing third in total receiving yards (514). He also ranked second in all-purpose yards (935), thanks to 421 kick return yards. Between spring league stops, Cain has spent time with several NFL teams, including the Eagles, Bills, and Panthers. Michigan will face the DC Defenders in the title game after DC took down St. Louis 36-18. Former Clemson receiver Cornell Powell played a key role, catching four passes for 57 yards and converting a two-point attempt. Powell led the UFL during the regular season with seven receiving touchdowns. Also making an impact in the Stallions' loss was Amari Rodgers, who averaged 20.5 yards on four kickoff returns. The defeat marked Birmingham's first postseason loss since spring football's reboot in 2022, snapping a dominant run that included every USFL title and the inaugural UFL regular season crown.

Travis Hunter has third-best odds for both offensive and defensive rookie of the year
One player winning both the NFL's offensive and defensive rookie of the year awards, would have seemed unthinkable until Travis Hunter came along. But heading into the 2025 season, Hunter has a real chance at both. Hunter, the Jaguars' wide receiver/cornerback, currently has the third-shortest odds to win offensive rookie of the year, and he also has the third-shortest odds to win defensive rookie of the year. In the offensive category, Hunter's odds are at +900 at FanDuel. Only Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty at +250 and Titans quarterback Cam Ward at +320 are viewed as more likely than Hunter to win the award. In the defensive category, Hunters odds are at +1000. Only Giants edge rusher Abdul Carter at +250 and Falcons linebacker Jalon Walker at +700 are viewed as more likely to get it. San Francisco defensive end Mykel Williams is tied with Hunter at +1000. Hunter winning both awards in the same year is an extreme long shot, but that he's even in the conversation is an impressive sign of his skill set. In addition to winning the Heisman Trophy last year at Colorado, Hunter won both the Chuck Bednarik Award as the best defensive player and the Fred Biletnikoff Award as the best wide receiver. He might add another trophy to his mantel this season. Maybe even more than one.
