Joe Burrow had another magnificent outing to lead the LSU Tigers to their first win over the Alabama Crimson Tide since 2011. Burrow was the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy last week with odds of -120 to win the award, but his performance against the Crimson Tide has led to his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/sportsbook\/futures-and-props\/ncaaf-futures\">Heisman Trophy odds<\/a> dropping to -550. It\u2019s certainly Burrow\u2019s trophy to lose at this point, and he would likely need to have two or more poor performances that ended in LSU losses to not win the Heisman Trophy at this point.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>ODDS TO WIN 2019 HEISMAN TROPHY<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>JOE BURROW -550<br>JALEN HURTS +1000<br>TUA TAGOVAILOA +1000<br>JUSTIN FIELDS +1000<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Burrow has a\nbetter body of work than any player in college football this season.\nHe has led the Bayou Bengals to four wins over top ten teams thus far\nin 2019, and he has shined in each game. Burrow is on pace to set the\nsingle season completion percentage record, and he silenced any\nremaining doubters with his performance against Alabama on Saturday\nnight. The senior quarterback completed 31 of 39 passes for 393 yards\nwith three touchdowns while also running for 64 yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LSU\u2019s final\nthree games of the season are against Ole Miss, Arkansas, and Texas\nA&amp;M. The Tigers are three-touchdown favorites per the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/sportsbook\/futures-and-props\/ncaaf-futures\">college\nfootball betting odds<\/a> against the Rebels this weekend,\nbut Ole Miss does have an above average defense. The same can be said\nfor Texas A&amp;M too, but Arkansas is one of the worst teams we have\nseen in this conference in quite some time. Burrow is unlikely to\nhave the cataclysmic game he would need to lose the award against any\nof those three teams, but Georgia does loom in the SEC Championship\nGame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bulldogs have\none of the best defenses in the country, and they will certainly give\nLSU a test provided they make it to Atlanta in December. Provided\nGeorgia wins one of its last two games, the Bulldogs will win the SEC\nEast, but they do face Auburn and Texas A&amp;M. Neither of those\ngames will be easy, but if they happen to lose both, that likely\nseals the deal for Burrow as he should carve up Florida through the\nair just as he did with the Gators earlier this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jalen Hurts has\nbeen a treat to watch this season. Hurts has been fantastic for\nOklahoma, making the Sooners the best offense in football with his\nlethal mix of running and passing. He is responsible for over 400\nyards per game through the air and on the ground, and he has created\n39 touchdowns this season. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately for\nHurts, there is fatigue surrounding Oklahoma quarterbacks, and the\nSooners have done him no favors with their play either. Oklahoma\u2019s\nstunning loss to Kansas State a few weeks ago hurt his chances, and\nthe school nearly lost to Iowa State last weekend as well. A\nfantastic performance against undefeated Baylor this week could lead\nto Hurts having the second-best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/sportsbook\/futures-and-props\/ncaaf-futures\">odds\nto win the Heisman Trophy<\/a> next week, so there might be\nsome value in him at this price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tua Tagovailoa\nand Alabama lost at home to LSU last week, and the Crimson Tide did\nnothing on offense through the first 40 minutes of that game. They\nroared back to make it competitive in the final 20 minutes, but\nAlabama\u2019s loss has effectively eliminated Tagovailoa from\ncontention. Tagovailoa has been the September Heisman for two years\nin a row, so it\u2019s unfortunate to see him likely leave Tuscaloosa\nwithout becoming the first quarterback in Alabama history to win the\ntrophy. However, he can take solace in the fact that he is the\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/sportsbook\/futures-and-props\/nfl-player-futures\">favorite\nto be the No. 1 pick<\/a> in the NFL Draft per the NFL\nDraft betting odds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is still some value in Justin Fields at 10-1. Ohio State obliterated Maryland last week to continue its rampage through the Big Ten, and the Buckeyes are favored by a record 50 points per the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/sportsbook\/football\/ncaa\">NCAA betting odds<\/a> against Rutgers this week. Fields is unlikely to put up monster numbers against the Scarlet Knights since Ryan Day is conserving his young quarterback, but he could make a late charge provided he plays well in potential victories over Penn State and Michigan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Burrow has a\nbetter body of work than any player in college football this season.\nHe has led the Bayou Bengals to four wins over top ten teams thus far\nin 2019, and he has shined in each game.
