There’s still probably some friends telling you there’s a chance Stanford RB Christian McCaffrey could be the one to hoist the Heisman tonight, but most gambling sites don’t agree with your friends.

According to Bovada, a popular offshore sportsbook, Alabama running back Derrick Henry is a -500 favorite among the three finalists.

Henry was as high as +2500 as of Aug. 25 at Bovada.

Henry set the SEC single-season rushing record this year, passing Herschel Walker, with 1,986 yards. The game that swung the momentum in the junior’s favor and made him the frontrunner was against LSU on Nov. 9. That day, Henry rushed for 210 yards and 3 touchdowns while upstaging frontrunner Leonard Fournette.

McCaffrey set an impressive record of his own this season, breaking Barry Sanders’ mark for most all-purpose yards in a season. McCaffrey’s 3,496 all-purpose yards was almost 1,100 more than the next-closet player in the nation.

One gets the feeling that Clemson’s Deshaun Watson will have to win the award based on his team’s success more than anything. Watson’s Tigers are the only undefeated team left in the FBS and are the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff.

Here’s a look at the most updated Bovada betting odds:

PLAYER SCHOOL ODDS
RB Derrick Henry Alabama -500
RB Christian McCaffrey Stanford +325
QB Deshaun Watson Clemson +1200
