Updated Heisman Trophy odds: Award is now Joe Burrow's to lose

Unless top-ranked LSU goes into the tank over the next few weeks, quarterback Joe Burrow is going to hear his name called at the Heisman Trophy ceremony in New York on Dec. 14 as the second-ever winner from his school to take home college football's biggest award. LSU's big victory at Alabama on Saturday and Burrow's stellar game vaulted him from +150 on the FanDuel college football futures odds to win the Heisman all the way to a huge -1000 favorite. Remember, he was a +5000 afterthought entering the season.

Burrow torched the Alabama defense by completing 31 of 39 for 393 yards and three touchdowns with no turnovers. The Tigers totaled 559 yards of offense, the most against an Alabama team since 2014 and the most in a win over a Nick Saban-coached Tide team. Bama had won 31 straight home games. Burrow was barely on NFL teams' radar entering the year but now Pro Football Focus lists him as the top overall prospect in the country.

LSU tied a school record with its fourth Top-10 victory of the season. Against Top-10 teams this season, Burrow has passed for 1,478 yards and 11 touchdowns. He has broken pretty much every single-season school record but passing yards. That's going to happen too, currently held by Rohan Davey with 3,347 in 2001. Burrow has 3,198. Expect the Tigers to jump to No. 1 in the new College Football Playoff rankings on Tuesday. They had been No. 1 in the AP Top 25 and moved to the top spot of the Coaches Poll following the win. LSU is +21 on the college football odds this Saturday in a potential trap game at Ole Miss. 

Tide QB Tua Tagovailoa dropped from +300 to +2500 to win the Heisman even though he was quite good too in throwing for 418 yards and four touchdowns. Oklahoma's Jalen Hurts is second on the Heisman odds at +1600. The Sooners escaped an Iowa State upset bid Saturday, 42-41, with Hurts throwing for three touchdowns and running for two.
