The 2019 Heisman Trophy ceremony is Saturday at the PlayStation Theater in New York City.
It will be televised at 8 p.m. on ESPN, a made-for-TV event that will try to create some drama around what most expect will be a landslide victory for LSU quarterback Joe Burrow. The Ohio State tandem of Justin Fields and Chase Young also will be in New York along with Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts.
Will Burrow win by a record-setting margin? We take a closer look at the chances Burrow sets a few Heisman records along the way.

Heisman Trophy odds 2019
Odds for Burrow to win the Heisman Trophy are at -30000. Fields (+2500), Young (+3300) and Hurts (+3300) would be huge payouts if they somehow pull an upset in New York.
Why is Joe Burrow a heavy favorite?
Burrow set SEC single-season records in passing yards (4,715) and TDs (48), and he led LSU to a 13-0 records and SEC championship. That included a 393-yard, three-TD effort in a 46-41 victory at No. 1 Alabama on Nov. 9. Burrow has already cleaned up on the awards circuit. He won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm, Walter Camp, Davey O'Brien and Maxwell Awards.
What is the Heisman record for most first-place votes?
USC's O.J. Simpson (1968) received 855 first-place votes, and Ohio State's Troy Smith (2006) received 801 first-place votes. They are the only two Heisman winners to get more than 800 first-place votes. There are 870 media votes, 57 former Heisman votes and one vote from the fans.
