2012 NFL Week 2: Odds Already Placed for a Harbaugh-Schwartz Handshake After Lions-49ers Game

Found September 15, 2012 on FootBasket:
PLAYERS: Jim Harbaugh,  Jim Schwartz
TEAMS: San Francisco 49ers,  Detroit Lions
Getty ImagesDuring Week 6 of last season, one of the most bizarre things happened when coaches Jim Harbaugh and Jim Schwartz got in a scuffle over a handshake after the San Francisco 49ers handed the Detroit Lions their first loss of the season.

Las Vegas is looking to make the most of that event as the two coaches meet again this Sunday for a rematch.

According to Associated Press, the Bovada online sports book has put a line on if both coaches will shake each other's hands after the game on Sunday. The line was minus-500 that they do and plus-300 that they don't, as of 11 P.M. Friday night.

Both coaches say they have looked past the matter, but we'll what drama unfolds, if possible, on Sunday.
