Heisman Trophy betting trends

Here are a few trends to keep in mind before placing a bet on the biggest individual award of the college football season.

• Quarterbacks have dominated this award over the last 23 years with 18 Heisman winners playing under center.
  
  
• The Heisman trophy winner usually comes from a team with a shot at winning the national title, even though it is a regular season award. Since 2000, 14 Heisman trophy winners have played for teams that made it to the national championship game. If you're handicapping the Heisman, you might want to consider looking at which teams have the best chance of winning the title on the NCAA futures odds board.
  
  
• Even though DeVonta Smith won the Heisman in 2020, he is one of only four seniors to win the Heisman in the last 17 years. Over that span, two freshmen, five sophomores, and six juniors have claimed the prize.
