Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence is the heavy favorite to win the Heisman Trophy after the past weekend of college football.

In the latest odds from Bovada, Lawrence is at +110, Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields is at +600 and Alabama passer Mac Jones is at +700. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Nobody else is below +1000.

Obviously, it’s very fair to assume that Justin Fields numbers will shift dramatically once the B1G starts football next weekend.

I don’t expect him to stay at +600 for very long at all, and it shouldn’t take much time for him to close the gap with Lawrence.

The guy who is really making a splash here is Mac Jones sitting at third. After the Ole Miss game, it’s crystal clear that Jones is more than capable of running a dominant offense in Tuscaloosa.

The Crimson Tide look as good as ever with him under center, and he will 100% end up in New York for the ceremony if Alabama goes undefeated through the regular season.

Finally, Sam Howell is currently sitting at +4000 as the Tar Heels are ranked fifth in the country. I have no idea if UNC can continue this run, but that seems like a hell of a bargain for the guy quarterbacking an undefeated top five team.
