Heisman Trophy hopeful Shedeur Sanders is a hit among sports bettors. 

The Colorado quarterback has received more than double the number of wagers of any player in college football to win the award at BetRivers, according to Ben Fawkes on X. 

Sanders, the son of Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders, is currently sitting at 45/1 at the sportsbook, the 19th-best odds on their board.

He is entering his second season in Boulder after throwing for 3,230 yards with 27 touchdowns and just three interceptions.

After starting out 3-0, including a Week 1 upset of No. 17 TCU, Colorado finished 4-8 on the season in 2023, including 1-8 in the Pac-12. 

The Buffaloes have similar expectations in 2024 with a preseason win total of 5.5 at most major sportsbooks.
