Tennessee football: Ranking five Vols bets for 2022 available through WynnBET
1. Hendon Hooker wins the Heisman: +4800
It’s not the most likely thing to happen on here, but Tennessee football quarterback Hendon Hooker’s chances of winning the Heisman massively outweigh the odds he was given. As a result, he is by far the best bet you could make this season when it comes to the Vols, and it’s probably not even close.
When the article about these Heisman odds came out in June, Hooker was shockingly way down the list. He was ranked No. 20 and massively disrespected, with quarterbacks like Anthony Richardson, J.T. Daniels and Spencer Rattler given better odds than him to win the coveted award. That makes no sense.
Last year, Hooker was the most efficient quarterback in the SEC, setting school records in completion percentage (68), yards per attempt (9.7) and touchdown-to-interception ratio (31-3) for a UT quarterback who threw at least 300 passes. He could shatter some of Peyton Manning’s 1997 single-season records this year.
Simply put, Hooker’s Heisman odds should at least be greater than his touchdown-to-interception ratio, but they aren’t. As a result, Tennessee football’s quarterback has a lot to prove this year, and given his standing, this is the best bet you can make regarding the Vols for 2022. The only thing working against him is the bias against UT in Heisman races.
