Heisman Odds Week 9: Hendon Hooker has the narrative on his side

Each week this college football season, BetFTW will take a look at the 2022 Heisman Trophy race and break down the contenders. Check back each Monday as the best college football players in the country jockey for position with both oddsmakers and bettors. Preseason odds can be found here and Week 8 here. 

Hendon Hooker’s magical season at Tennessee is starting to look like too much to overcome for the rest of the Heisman field. The odds-on favorite to capture college football’s biggest individual award isn’t a lock just yet, but that could change this week.

The Volunteers face their toughest—and arguably final— challenge yet as they visit No. 1 Georgia. If Hooker can knock off last year’s College Football Playoff champion after already out-dueling 2021 Heisman winner Bryce Young, it’ll be hard for anyone else to match that resume.

Especially considering Tennessee’s final three games come against Missouri, South Carolina and Vanderbilt—all perfect opponents for Hooker to pad his stats.

Everything is lining up for Hooker to run away with the Heisman. Now he just has to take advantage.
