Oklahoma's Kyler Murray surpasses Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa as Heisman betting favorite

For the first time all season, Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray is the betting favorite to win the Heisman Trophy -- both in the legal and offshore markets.

Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa opened as the third-favorite at 10-1 odds in June at the SuperBook at the Westgate Las Vegas, behind Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor (7-1) and Stanford running back Bryce Love (5-1). Murray was tied for the seventh-best odds at 20-1.

Tagovailoa became the favorite at The SuperBook in August before Alabama coach Nick Saban even declared him the starter and remained that way all season.
