Justin Fields as the favorite definitely makes sense. He’ll have had another year of seasoning in an offensive system tailored to his skill-set, and with key departures, the coaching staff might need to rely on him a bit more with both his arm and running ability.
We’ll check in on these odds routinely, but for now, it’s all just fun to talk about. I mean, who had Joe Burrow winning the thing at the beginning of this year?
