In a season where the chalk has largely prevailed, it\u2019s no surprise that the best players on the best teams in the country are the favorites to win the Heisman Trophy. Only five players are now seen as contenders to win the top individual award in college football per the Heisman Trophy betting odds<\/a> , and it\u2019s highly unlikely that a new challenger will award considering we have seen Trevor Lawrence, Jake Fromm, Sam Ehlinger, and others fall out of the race. None of the surprising unbeaten teams have a player worthy of claiming the Heisman Trophy, making this year\u2019s competition a five-horse race.

ODDS TO WIN 2019 HEISMAN TROPHY<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

TUA TAGOVAILOA -175
JOE BURROW +375
JALEN HURTS +450
JUSTIN FIELDS +1000
JONATHAN TAYLOR +1000<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Another great performance this past Saturday has made Tua Tagovailoa an even larger favorite to win the Heisman Trophy. Tagovailoa had his worst game of the season, tossing his first interception of the year, and he only averaged 8.6 yards per attempt against Texas A&M. However, the Aggies have an excellent defense, and Tagovailoa still led the Crimson Tide to a 47-28 victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s Tagovailoa\u2019s Heisman Trophy to lose, and if Alabama finishes the regular season unbeaten, it\u2019s hard to see a way he misses out on the award once more. A date with LSU and his biggest competition in Joe Burrow looms large, but Tagovailoa should have the upper hand provided the Crimson Tide win that game. Alabama is expected to be favored by more than a touchdown per the college football betting odds<\/a>, and the Tigers haven\u2019t knocked off the Crimson Tide since 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burrow has\nestablished himself as the No. 1 contender, and the LSU quarterback\nwas fantastic in a 42-28 win over Florida last Saturday. He is on\npace to smash the single season completion percentage record set by\nColt McCoy over a decade ago, as he is completing 79.6 percent of his\npasses through six games. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We haven\u2019t seen\na quarterback improve this much as a senior since Carson Palmer went\nfrom a mid-round pick at best to the No. 1 overall pick after a 2002\ncampaign that saw the USC product win the Heisman Trophy. Burrow is\nout to follow in his footsteps, and he should have another big day\nthis Saturday against the Mississippi State Bulldogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jalen Hurts\nneeded to have a phenomenal day against Texas to have a real chance\nto win the Heisman Trophy. Hurts was very good in a 34-27 win for\nOklahoma in the Red River Shootout, but he didn\u2019t have the massive\ngame he needed given the exhaustion when it comes to Oklahoma\nquarterbacks among Heisman voters, and the perceived inability of the\nBig 12 to play defense. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Big 12 is the strongest it has been in years if you look at advanced metrics, but the conference is not seen in the same light as the Big Ten or the SEC. For Hurts to win the Heisman, the other four contenders will need to have at least two bad games down the stretch, and that\u2019s unlikely to happen. His Heisman Trophy betting odds<\/a> should be much longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justin Fields\nremains my favorite bet to win the Heisman Trophy. Fields has the\nlong odds that make a bet on him a tempting proposition, and Ohio\nState\u2019s remaining schedule works in his favor. The Buckeyes will\nface Wisconsin next week in a premier game that Ohio State will be\nfavored to win, and the Buckeyes close out their season with tilts\nagainst Penn State and Michigan before a potential appearance in the\nBig Ten Championship Game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former\nGeorgia quarterback does not have the lofty numbers of his fellow\ncontenders, but he can ramp up in a way that the others can\u2019t given\nthe attention we have given them already. Big games in two of those\nthree tilts would establish Fields as one of the top two or three\ncontenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jonathan Taylor\nhas an uphill battle if he is going to be the second running back to\nwin the Heisman Trophy this decade. Taylor must lead Wisconsin to a\nwin over Ohio State in Columbus to have a legitimate chance to win\nthe award, and that\u2019s an unlikely proposition. The Buckeyes defense\nhas been phenomenal this year, so Taylor\u2019s dreams are likely to\ncome to an end next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
