12 Oregon v 3 Ohio State
Prediction: Ohio State wins and I think the cover the -14.5 line. I would pound the over too, 63.5 is low considering Ohio State will probably score 50 by themselves.
Ohio State is always a top recruiting school, and I think that their edge is in the raw amount of talent that they put on the field.
Alabama State v 25 Auburn
I would take Auburn to win obviously because it is pretty much a done deal. Auburn is too overpowered for the likes of Alabama State.
That being said, I would consider taking Alabama State with the line being AUB -49, I think in the 4th quarter Auburn will pull its starters and allow a backdoor cover.
13 Florida vs South Florida
If Florida doesn’t cover, then they are frauds. NC State beat USF last week 45 – 0. Let us not act like Florida isn’t far more talented than NC State on paper, so if they can’t bury a weak USF team, then I wouldn’t put stock in Florida this season.
I would take Florida -28.5, like I said if they don’t get this, drop them early.
Middle Tennessee v 19 Virginia Tech
I expect Virginia Tech takes the momentum of their top 10 win from last week into this week. They’ll take that 20 point line and cover. I think their defense is solid, and I don’t see weak teams moving on good defense.
Toledo v 8 Notre Dame
Notre Dame should win this, I think that the good news from week one is that they didn’t lose. They went into a hostile environment and pulled out a gritty victory.
I don’t anticipate this week being of the same difficulty.
UAB v 2 Georgia
GTFO.
UGA covers, big win, UAB isn’t moving the ball on Saturday.
5 Texas A&M v Colorado
I think Texas A&M gets to show its grit early. We’ll see a lot of what they’re made of in this game, going into Colorado, dealing with the time change, and facing off a decent opponent.
I think Texas A&M pulls out the victory and I think that it’ll be a 20 point victory.
Murray State v 7 Cincinnati
Cincinnati isn’t losing this game to Murray State. You’d love to see Cincy lose so we don’t have to deal with a group team try to get into the playoffs against Alabama.
Ball State v 11 Penn State
I think Penn State wins but I would take Ball State to cover in this game. Penn State’s offense looked stagnant last week, and it’ll be this week if we find out if it was great defense or bad offense.
Mercer v 1 Alabama
Put $10 on Mercer just in case because that shit would be nuts.
10 Iowa v 9 Iowa State
I would take Iowa just because the defensive capabilities of the Iowa secondary group. I want to see Iowa State keep their undefeated season into their game against Oklahoma just so somebody else can steal the Big 12 championship.
South Carolina State v 6 Clemson
I think Clemson is in the top 10 on reputation alone. I think South Carolina State will only be in this game for the first 45 seconds.
Western Carolina v 4 Oklahoma
OU is not coming out sleeping again, and I think they put it on this vastly inferior team in Western Carolina. I think they cover -49.5 and I think they head into week 3 with some momentum.
Similar to Notre Dame and Mississippi State, the big plus of week one is that you learned lessons without losing the game.
15 Texas v Arkansas
GIVE ME THE ARKANSAS UPSET JACK.
Texas is a slight favorite despite being the 15th best team in the country according to the AP poll. I’m telling you that Arkansas is vastly improved from 2 years ago, and Texas is vastly diminished from last season.
Eastern Michigan v 18 Wisconsin
Wisconsin to win, but Eastern Michigan to cover in the last quarter.
Appalachian State v 22 Miami
App State upset. If there is a team likely to pull off a big upset, its always Appalachian State.
I love to watch the U get overhyped just to lose.
Austin Peay v 20 Ole Miss
Ole Miss to unfortunately cover and win.
Ole Miss looked dominant against the mess that was Louisville, and I’m pretty sure that Austin Peay is not better than Louisville.
Georgia State v 24 North Carolina
I think NC gets some mojo back, but to be fair they shouldn’t even be ranked still.
I think that NC comes out and covers, and if they don’t they should continue to drop in the rankings.
21 Utah v BYU
Give me BYU to win. Utah is going to BYU and I think that with a narrow line, the home field advantage has to factor into this game.
Stanford v 14 USC
USC wins but Stanford covers the line (USC -17).
I think that if USC wins even by 1 point the hype train will leave the station for no reason.
UNLV v 23 Arizona State
Arizona State wins and I think the UNLV football team pulls off the cover. Arizona State has a nasty habit of blowing the cover at the end of the game year in and year out.
