The Heisman Trophy Odds is normally awarded in December but the 2020 winner will be presented on Jan. 5, 2021. Similar to other events this season, the ceremony will be held virtually with the finalists appearing on television. The voting deadline for the Heisman Trophy will be Monday, Dec. 21 and the Heisman finalists will be announced on Thursday, Dec. 24. The betting markets for the Heisman Trophy have been active all season and the extra time added should create more fluctuation as teams miss or make up games. Bettors following this market on a weekly basis have already seen plenty of moves and the oddsmakers have shifted their numbers again. A few weeks ago, Florida quarterback Kyle Trask was listed at 10/1 odds, but starting to make a run at the Heisman Trophy. Trask is now the odds-on favorite at FanDuel Sportsbook to capture the award as the senior has thrown 31 touchdown passes this season, including three in Saturday's victory at Vanderbilt. Trask could square off opposite Alabama in the SEC title game next month, as Crimson Tide QB Mac Jones is sitting at 3/1 odds to win the Heisman. Jones led Alabama to a 62-3 blowout of Kentucky, but didn't put up gaudy numbers as he threw for 230 yards and two touchdowns. 2020 Heisman Trophy Odds Contenders(School) Odds

Lawrence is currently at 16/1 odds to become the Heisman Trophy winner. 2020 Heisman Trophy Mid-Tier Long Shots(School) Odds
