Nobody else in the country is even close to competing for the Heisman.

Honestly, these odds are very surprising to me. They’re damn near downright shocking. Smith over Jones? I’m not sure I’m buying it.

Don’t get me wrong, he’s a star, but it seems like a bit of a leap.

As a betting man, I’m still all in on Jones winning the award. While he’s apparently lost some serious ground to Smith, I still don’t see him not coming home with the hardware.

Alabama’s offense is rolling, and Mac Jones is a huge reason why. Seeing as how he’s throwing the ball to Smith, you’d have to think he’s the favorite.
