UCLA Football: Bovada’s Heisman Odds Are Favorable To Josh Rosen
The on-line betting site Bovada has released their updated 2016 Heisman odds which now has UCLA Football quarterback Josh Rosen as one of their top picks.
College football critics or not the only ones making their predictions for the 2016 football season this summer, but online betting sites are getting in on the action as well.

Bovada has just updated their 2016 Heisman odds and these new listings have a familiar name that UCLA football fans would appreciate seeing. Quarterback Josh Rosen.
After completely missing out on the Bovada listings in January, Rosen is now tied with Georgia RB Nick Chubb and Mississippi QB Nick Kelly for the seventh best odds listed at 16 to 1.
After leading the UCLA Football team to an 8-5 record, and breaking several freshman and long-time UCLA QB records in his true freshman season, many college football critics are expecting Rosen to have an even better outing in his second season with the Bruins.
This year, Rosen will be working with an altered system as Head Coach Jim Mora and Offensive Cordinator Kennedy Polamalu have added some power elements to their offense from last season. Despite the change, many expect Rosen to be one of the top quarterbacks in not just the Pac-12 Conference, but in the entire nation.
Rosen is in some very talented company with this list. Other players that were named include Leonard Fournette (LSU), Deshaun Watson (Clemson), J.T. Barrett (Ohio State), Dalvin Cook (Florida State) and a player that should give the Bruins fits in their first conference game of the season, Christian McCaffrey (Stanford).

It is quite impressive that a sophomore like Rosen is already getting this much attention, which is why I can already imagine him topping this list in one year, before his junior (and possibly final) season. Go Bruins!
