Oregon Ducks

We're on to week 8 of the college football season and the Oregon Ducks lost their first game to the Washington Huskies 36-33 in heartbreaking fashion, as a Camden Lewis field goal missed wide right.

Any time a team takes their first loss of the season there's going to be widespread impact, and that's certainly the case with Oregon quarterback Bo Nix's Heisman Trophy odds.

Despite throwing for more than 300 yards and scoring two touchdowns, Nix's odds tanked in the latest odds generated by Fanduel.
