That’s according to the bookmakers, who seemingly weren’t convinced by the Latics’ point-winning performance against former title favourites Norwich City at Carrow Road.
Leam Richardson’s League One winners picked up another point on the opening day of the season when holding Preston North End to a goal-less draw at the DW Stadium.
The Lilywhites, meanwhile, have also made an unbeaten start to the campaign, backing up their point in Greater Manchester with another at home to Hull City at the weekend.
Ryan Lowe’s side are still without a win, or even a goal, in the league so far this season, but broke their duck in the Carabao Cup with an impressive 4-1 win away at Huddersfield Town to progress to the second round.
Lancashire rivals Blackpool, on the other hand, currently sit comfortably in mid-table on three points after getting their season off to the perfect start by beating Reading 1-0 at Bloomfield Road, though they lost at the hands of Stoke City at the weekend.
Here’s the division’s revised complexion, in reverse order, according to Sky Bet.
