Betting College Football Week 2 Games

In college football, it’s difficult to find winners against the spread much less to win straight up.

Often, it’s more difficult to find straight up winners that offer a fair payout, which is why the best SU plays of NCAA Week 2 happen in non-high profile matchups like Duke at Northwestern and San Diego State hosting Oregon State.

Keep reading for college football odds, analysis, and picks for six of this week’s best straight up plays.

Writer’s Picks for the Second Week of the NCAAF Season

Duke +125 at Northwestern

Neither team impressed against overmatched squads.

But Northwestern appears to once again have to rely on its defense while the Blue Devils have a solid D, one that gave up 30 rushing yards and 110 yards to Elon, and the better offense.

Quarterback Maalik Murphy transferred from Texas to Duke.

Murphy knows how to run pro style offenses like the one Steve Sarkisian runs in Austin.

Blue Devils pull off the upset victory.

College Football Week 2 Pick: Duke +125

Pittsburgh -102 at Cincinnati

Cincinnati defense gave up 20 points to the Towson Tigers.

The Bearcats looked great on offense.

But 20 points to Towson? Not good.

Pittsburgh dropped 55 onto Kent State.

The difference between Towson and Kent State, although it’s not apparent, is a chasm.

Pat Narduzzi does well recruiting players that can’t make it onto programs like Alabama, Texas, Arizona, USC, or even Boise State.

Often Narduzzi coaches those players into NFL level talents.

Panthers get the win.

College Football Week 2 Pick: Pittsburgh -102

Virginia +102 at Wake Forest

Virginia quarterback Anthony Colandrea is going to be the story in this game.

Colandrea is flying under the radar but he may soon find himself the talk of the ACC.

The UVA quarterback got playing time as a freshman last season.

This NCAAF season he’s already showing how much he’s improved by dominating Richmond.

Sure, Wake Forest is better than Richmond but Colandrea is a rising star.

The Cavaliers score the slight upset victory.

College Football Week 2 Pick: Virginia +102

Texas Tech -110 at Washington State

After watching Texas Tech barely get by Abilene in a 52-51 shootout, it makes no sense to pick the Red Raiders against Washington State.

But it’s apparent that the Raiders didn’t take the matchup versus Abilene Christian seriously.

Not only that, but teams like Abilene Christian often recruit top JUCO talent that can’t find a spot at a Power 4 program.

That’s not an excuse. It’s a fact.

Texas Tech is much better than what it showed.

Also, Washington State is a program without a conference and although the Cougs scored 70 against Portland State, they also gave up 30.

Texas Tech gets it done.

College Football Week 2 Pick: Texas Tech -110

Oregon State at San Diego State +152

It’s tough not like San Diego State in this matchup.

The first reason are the odds.

The Aztecs take on Oregon State, which was one of the top schools in the now defunct Pac 12, at their stadium.

SDSU has had a solid football program for some time.

San Diego State wouldn’t compete against a university like Oregon State if the Beavers hadn’t lost so much talent.

But not finding a place in a conference is a big deal.

The odds make SDSU playable.

College Football Week 2 Pick: San Diego State +152

Mississippi State +188 at Arizona State

I thought Arizona State was going to be awful, but the Sun Devils dominated Wyoming.

No worries. Sometimes it’s important to eat crow.

In any case, I’m against the Sun Devils again.

The reason this time is because Mississippi State is a legit SEC team.

The Bulldogs thrashed Eastern Kentucky behind the arm and legs of one Blake Shapen, the former Baylor starter.

Shapen is a solid college football quarterback and we know for sure that the Bulldogs’ defense is going to pick it up in this.

Miss State scores the upset win.

College Football Week 2 Pick: Mississippi State +188
