President Warren G. Harding made out like a bandit early Sunday when Toledo lost to Arizona in overtime. What action may he be getting in on this coming week?
The first two lines of week 2 have seen the light of day, and Ohio State is again a double digit favorite, this time against the University of Central Florida Knights. The Buckeyes start out as 14.5 point favorites and 15.5 point favorites in the two major lines revealed so far. While some felt Ohio State might only start things out as single digit favorites given the impressive showing the Knights put on in the Rubber Bowl Thursday evening, the likely absence of star UCF running back Latavius Murray likely throws a wrench into the things for the Knights.
