Heisman Trophy Betting Preview

Caleb Williams, USC Trojans

While the USC Trojans are not the favorites to win the National Championship this season, USC does have the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy. Caleb Williams won this award a season ago as a sophomore, and could very well do so again. There is a well-documented history of Lincoln Riley quarterbacks winning the Heisman, and Williams could very well extend that history, as he is off to a great start this year.

Sam Hartman, Notre Dame Fighting Irish

So far this season, Sam Hartman of Notre Dame has thrown 13 touchdowns and zero interceptions. He has led Notre Dame to a great start, as they are undefeated going into their huge matchup against Ohio State. Hartman has given Notre Dame a dimension to their passing game that they have not had in recent seasons, which could lead the Irish back to the College Football Playoff.

Quinn Ewers, Texas Longhorns

The Texas Longhorns have a quarterback worth hyping up for the Heisman Trophy once again in Quinn Ewers. While their hyped prospects rarely pan out as Heisman-caliber athletes, Ewers could change that with one big season for Texas. He went into Tuscaloosa and led the Longhorns to a win over Alabama during non-conference play, which has elevated his Heisman chances early in the year, though better individual numbers will be needed as the season wears on.

Jordan Travis, Florida State Seminoles

Jordan Travis is playing in his sixth college football season, and will be 23 years old during this season for the Florida State Seminoles. All of that experience could give him the inside track to this year’s Heisman, as could the fact that outside of Florida State and Clemson, the ACC may not be all that great this year. But Travis is off to a strong start, and Florida State is moving up the rankings in a way that could benefit Travis’ Heisman campaign.

Michael Penix Jr., Washington Huskies

In the first half of last season, Michael Penix Jr. looked like he could win the Heisman Trophy out of the Pac-12. Penix threw for over 4,600 yards last season, but he finished in eighth in the Heisman voting. He is on fire to start this season as well, as he is leading the nation in passing yardage with conference play on the horizon.

Non-QB Heisman Trophy Options

Outside of the quarterbacks competing for this award, there are a couple of non-quarterbacks who could contend for this season’s Heisman. Michigan running back Blake Corum finished seventh in last year’s Heisman race, and could climb the ranks with another dominant season. Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. could also put up big enough numbers to work his way into the race. But both of these Big Ten skill position players will need to put together huge conference seasons to make up for some underwhelming starts from their teams on offense.

How To Bet On The Heisman Trophy

When it comes to betting on the Heisman Trophy winner, there are a few things you need to keep in mind.

First, you’ll want to pay attention to the odds. The odds will give you an indication of how likely each player is to win the award. The movement towards or away from one player to another can give a good indication as to where the sports betting market is headed. You can find the odds for each player at most sports betting sites throughout the year. Line shopping at multiple sites is a must to obtain the highest return.

Second, you’ll want to consider the recent performance of each player. This is especially important if you’re betting on the winner near the end of the season as voters tend to have a recency bias.

Finally, you’ll want to pay attention to any news or rumors about players being injured, sitting out games or being suspended. This can obviously have a big impact on their chances of winning the Heisman Trophy.

By keeping these things in mind, you’ll be in a much better position to place a successful bet on the Heisman Trophy winner.
