The No. 11 ranked Oregon Ducks will head to Columbus, Ohio this weekend for a massive contest against Top 5 program Ohio State, and the Ducks will be viewed as an underdog by more than just a few points.
The early betting lines of Week 2 of the college football season have been released by the William Hill Sports Book, and Oregon has opened up as a 14-point underdog to the Buckeyes of Ohio State. The total point number is set for 64 points.
This past weekend, the Ducks opened up the regular season by playing Fresno State at home. The Ducks won the game 31-24, despite the Ducks being viewed as a 20.5-point favorite going into the game. The No. 4 ranked Buckeyes opened up their college football season this past Thursday on the road at Minnesota. The Buckeyes won the football game 45-31. Going into the 2021 college football season, the Ducks were projected to be the Pac-12 winner, voted by the media who cover the league.
