Sportsbook.com posts odds on Week 2 of Big Ten Football
Premier Match-ups include No.2 Texas at No.4 Ohio State
CHICAGO, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Big Ten college football hits the gridiron for the second week of the season and Sportsbook.com has posted odds on all the action. Saturday's game schedule features Big Ten heavyweights vying to improve their top 20 ranking.
In the marquee match-up of the week, Texas, ranked number two, visits fourth ranked Ohio State for what is sure to be a close game. Sportsbook.com lists Ohio State as the -1 point favorite.
In other Big Ten action, Iowa takes on rival Iowa State of the Big 12 Conference. The Hawkeyes are listed as -9 point favorites, but they'll be in tough against an Iowa State squad thirsting for the Big 12 Championship. Fresh off their win against Pittsburgh, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are set to clash with third ranked Michigan in Ann Arbor, with the Wolverines listed as -7 point favorites.
"There are several big games for the Big Ten this week. Ohio State, Michigan and Iowa will have to work hard to pull out a victory," says Peter Childs, Odds Maker, Sportsbook.com. "The great thing about the major conferences is that there is usually a surprise team that challenges the early favorites and it will be interesting to see what team steps up to the plate."
Sportsbook.com has also posted odds on some of the Big Ten teams' chances at winning the BCS Championship this year, with Ohio State leading the pack at a 12-1 bet. Michigan is an 18-1 bet and Iowa is listed at 22-1.
