What Are the Buckeyes Odds of Winning Without Urban Meyer Their First Three Games?
  • Ohio State favored to win OVER 10.5 regular season games in 2018
  • TCU is the biggest concern for the Buckeyes in Week 3 without Urban Meyer

When it was revealed that Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer would be suspended for the first three games of the 2018 season, oddsmakers alterered the Buckeyes win/loss OVER/UNDER odds slightly.

Most books still have the Buckeyes a favorite to win the Big Ten Conference and a favorite to win UNDER 10.5 regular season games at -135

The suspension occurred following a weeks-long investigation that found Meyer mishandled a domestic assault matter.

Ohio State's Week 1 line has hardly moved in response to the suspension.  It went from Ohio State -38 to -37.  Needless-to-say, the Buckeyes should win this one outright even if Donald Duck is coaching.

The Week 3 game against TCU is the one that has Buckeyes fans and futures bettors the most worried.

Here’s the win probability for the first three games from S&P+, which doesn’t adjust to account for coaching changes:

    •    Oregon State: 99 percent
    •    Rutgers: 97 percent
    •    TCU: 78 percent

DR Congo has 1 point and likely needs a win to have a realistic shot at advancing as a third-place team. Uzbekistan has 0 points and must win to stay alive. A draw probably eliminates Uzbekistan and likely does very little for DR Congo.
