Oddsmakers already made Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson an absurdly huge favorite to win the Heisman Trophy last week with 1-30 odds.

This week, the craziness increases at nearly double the rate.

Jackson is now a 1-50 favorite to win college football's top award, according to the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook.

A $100 bet on 1-50 odds would yield only a $2 profit.

Jackson's increased rise is the result of another good performance by him - he ran for 153 yards against Wake Forest - and the teams of several of his (already distant) Heisman rivals - Michigan's Jabrill Peppers, Clemson's Deshaun Watson and Washington's Jake Browning - losing their games.

Peppers is now the 15-1 second choice, Watson is now 20-1 and Browning is now 30-1.

Ohio State's J.T. Barrett is also 20-1, and Washington State's Luke Falk is 25-1.
