In my final player profile for the top candidates to win this year's Heisman Trophy, I will take a closer look at Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield's betting odds to win this award as the top college football player in the nation. He is the second quarterback on the betting futures list to win at BetAnySports behind Clemson's Deshaun Watson and the fact that this position has dominated this award in the past adds some value to his current odds.
Another thing in Baker's favor is the high expectations for his team this year after Oklahoma made a run all the way to last season's College Football Playoff where ironically enough the Sooners lost to Watson's Tigers in a semifinal matchup. Being firmly in the national spotlight can be a two-way sword for any Heisman hopeful. If you can find a way to excel in those two or three spotlight games on the schedule, your chances to win will dramatically increase. However, all it takes to end those chances is one poor performance that factors into your team losing a game.
