After a needed rest, the Ohio State football team is returning to the gridiron this weekend, as a cross-country trip to Seattle is on the way to take on Washington. Not long ago, the Buckeyes were double-digit favorites and expected to cruise to a lopsided win.
That's no longer the case? Ohio State opened as 14-point favorites, but in a bit of a surprise, that line has shrunk by nearly six points. That's right, the Buckeyes are now favored by 8.5 points instead of two TDs. Washington is a perfect 4-0 on the year, but it has played a cupcake schedule.
