Ohio State Opens As 44-Point Favorites Against Arkansas State

Ohio State just beat Notre Dame, 21-10, in a top-five matchup in its season opener, a game that showcased plenty of talent on both sides of the field for the Buckeyes. Now, it appears that Ohio State will have a much easier game in Week 2, at least on paper.

Ahead of their matchup against Arkansas State in their second game of the season, the Buckeyes open as 44-point favorites over the Red Wolves.

Ohio State has never played Arkansas State, and now Butch Jones' team will be tasked with coming to Columbus in Week 2 to take on the Bucks. While the Buckeyes took care of business against Notre Dame, Arkansas State beat Grambling, 58-3, to open their season. The Red Wolves, however, won just one game against an FBS opponent last season.

Kickoff is scheduled for noon on Big Ten Network.
