Last weekend, we saw Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty deliver a stunning performance against the Washington State football team. Jeanty torched his competition for 259 yards and four touchdowns and had fans and analysts raving about his skills. The tension of the game was high, and it was like watching a magician. The feeling was that every time he got his hands on the ball, a magical moment was ready to unfold. But this week, instead of being an exciting star in the making, he is becoming the clear winner of college football.

Jeanty is now -5000 to score a touchdown against Utah State this Saturday. That is a 98% certainty, so what this means is that to get a win of $100, a bettor has to risk $5,000. Those odds don’t lie: Ashton Jeanty is the real deal. This year alone, he has rushed for 845 yards and scored 13 touchdowns, which makes him the most accomplished back- and a serious Heisman contender. Talk about setting the bar high!
