Four months ago, a young, but talented Ohio State team opened as nine-point underdogs for their week three bout against the Oklahoma Sooners.
By mid-summer the line had dropped to 6.5 points – still in the Sooners' favor.
Today, six days from kickoff in Norman, the Buckeyes now find themselves three-point favorites over the Sooners according to one major Las Vegas sports book:

The 12-point swing comes as no surprise, given Oklahoma's opening weekend 33-23 loss to Houston and the dominant manner in which the Buckeyes have won their first two games.
The No. 3 Buckeyes and No. 14 Sooners square off Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. at Gaylord Family Memorial Stadium in Norman. The two programs, ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the AP All-Time Poll, have met just twice before, with each program stealing a win on the road.
