2022 NCAA Football Week 2 Parlay Betting Picks for the Top Weekend Games

Previous Betting News

For the teams that won their opening game of the college football season, there is not time to rest on those laurels, as Week 2 will be here before you know it. Given what went down in the opening weekend of the season, we can probably already predict that the race for the top 4 spots is going to be a close one. Teams that we really liked heading into the season struggled a little to get things rolling, but we also know that some teams take a little longer than others to get warmed up. With that being said, it is time to look ahead to Week 2 and our parlay picks. As always, we are splitting them into SU, ATS, and O/U picks, but you guys can do it any way you wish. Let’s get right to the NCAAF Betting picks.

2021 Parlay Picks for Week 2 | College Football Betting

NCAAF Week 2 SU Parlay – Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Iowa

Both Pittsburgh and Tennessee ran out to convincing wind in Week 1, but those were both victories that were expected. Both teams have also gone 16-4 SU in their last 20 games, but the Vols are just 2-7 SU overall in their last 9. Slight edge to Pittsburgh.

Rutgers has not done much in the way of winning over the past few seasons, but they got off to a fantastic start in Week 1, scoring 61 points in a lopsided win over UMASS. They have won 6 of the last 8 meetings against Syracuse and should maintain that winning record.

Iowa went into last week’s game against Indiana as an underdog and laid down a beating. They will be the underdog again this weekend against an Iowa State team that underwhelmed in Week 1. I am going with Iowa for back-to-back upsets.

NCAAF Week 2 ATS Parlay – Minnesota (-19 ½), Texas A&M (-17), Miami (-8)

While Minnesota may have lost their opening game of the season, they put up a very good fight against a highly ranked Ohio State football team. I think they bounce back in a big way in Week 2 against a Redbirds team that did not look very good at all in Week 1.

There are a lot of people looking at the Aggies as a dark horse team this season. They had zero issues with Kent in their opener and should deliver more of the same on the road in Colorado. They have not had a ton of success ATS versus the Buffaloes, but I think that changes this weekend.

One of the good things about how quickly games comes around is that teams don’t have a lot of time to linger on a poor performance. Miami was destroyed by Alabama, but I think they bounce back with a win and cover against Appalachian State in Week 2.

NCAAF Week 2 O/U Parlay – Florida (O58), Air Force (U40 ½), Texas (O57)

There is an expectation that the Florida Gators might take a step back this season, especially on the offensive side of the football. Their opening game of the season went under the point total, but 6 of their last 7 versus AAC opponents have gone OVER.

With the meeting between Air Force and Navy, it’s always a good idea to look at the past history when making a pick. This is a meeting that has very much trended UNDER, with 12 of the last 17 games between these two going that route.

Texas overcame a tricky Week 1 matchup by downing ULL 38-18. This week’s game versus Arkansas is another tough one, as well as being a game that might delivers some offense. Texas has seen 5 of their last 6 road games go OVER, so let’s stick with that trend.

No question that the biggest upset of Week 1 was little Georgia State stunning Tennessee 38-30 on Saturday. The Panthers were 25-point underdogs, had never beaten a Power 5 team since launching the program in 2010 and were 2-10 last year, losing its final seven. Can’t say we saw that coming. Here are two games we would parlay together during the Week 2 of the NCAA Football Betting action – both from the Pac-12 and both Saturday.

2019 College Football Week 2 Parlay Picks

California at No. 13 Washington

When: Saturday, September 7, 10:30 PM ET
TV: Fox Sports 1
College Football Week 2 Odds: Washington -14

California opened with a 27-13 win over UC Davis. Things didn’t start well for the Bears. Ashtyn Davis fumbled away the opening kickoff and quarterback Chase Garbers began the game 3-for-9 for 16 yards and an interception. The Bears’ heralded defense yielded 107 yards of offense in the first quarter, when the Bears fell behind 10-0.

However, Garbers completed six of his next seven passes for 128 yards and a touchdown. Cal’s defense allowed just 157 yards through the final three quarters. And the Bears outscored the Aggies 27-3 the rest of the way. In his first career start, sophomore tailback Christopher Brown Jr. rushed for 197 yards and a touchdown on 36 carries, becoming the first Cal running back to rush for at least 100 yards in his initial start since Jahvid Best amassed 111 yards in 2009. Garbers finished the day completing 16 of 28 passes for 238 yards and two touchdown passes. He also threw three passes of 30 or more yards. He had five in 2018.

Washington beat Eastern Washington 47-14. Huskies QB Jacob Eason threw for 349 yards and four touchdowns in his first game in nearly two years – he transferred from Georgia and sat out last year. Eason completed 27 of 36 passes and led Washington on touchdown drives on four of its first five possessions. Eason’s 349 passing yards were the most by a Husky in their first career start. He is third Husky to pass for over 300 yards in their UW starting debut, joining Brock Huard (311 vs. Arizona, Sept. 21, 1996, W 31-17) and Taylor Barton (316 at UCLA, Oct. 13, 2001, L 35-13). Eason’s four touchdown passes tied for seventh most in school history (done 22 other times). Richard Newton scored from 23 yards out on his first collegiate carry. He ended up with 91 yards on 12 carries in the Husky debut.

The Huskies are 39-0 when scoring 31 or more points in the Chris Petersen era. The Huskies have tallied 40 or more points during the Petersen era 25 times. The Huskies’ 15-game home win streak is the fourth longest in the nation. Alabama has the longest home win streak with 26 games, followed by Clemson and UCF (16).

Last year, Cal upset No. 15 Washington 12-10 in a defensive slugfest. Peyton Henry’s 26-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter pulled Washington to 12-10, but California milked the final 4:51 off the clock to secure the win.

No. 25 Stanford at USC

When: Saturday, September 7, 10:30 PM ET
TV: ESPN
College Football Week 2 Odds: USC -3.5

There was no opening line here because USC has lost starting quarterback JT Daniels to a season-ending injury and Stanford might be without its QB as well. Daniels tore the ACL and meniscus in his right knee during Saturday’s 31-23 win against Fresno State. Daniels will undergo surgery in the next few weeks, Helton said, and will be eligible to use the season as a redshirt year.

True freshman Kedon Slovis, who went 6-of-8 for 57 yards with an interception in relief against Fresno State, will start against No. 25 Stanford in the Pac-12 opener for both teams. Slovis beat out redshirt junior Matt Fink and redshirt sophomore Jack Sears to win the No. 2 job during training camp. Slovis signed with the Trojans as a 247Sports Composite three-star recruit and the No. 26 pro-style quarterback in the Class of 2019 out of Scottsdale (Az.) Desert Mountain. He received a pro comparison to Kirk Cousins when evaluated as a high-school prospect.

Vavae Malepeai posted a career-high 134 rushing yards plus a TD, while Stephen Carr scored two touchdowns to go along with 99 yards from scrimmage. The Trojans lost the turnover battle because they gave the ball away 4 times (2 fumbles and 2 interceptions), but they did force 3 takeaways, addressing a major problem from last season.

This the sixth consecutive year that USC begins league play versus the Cardinal, and the seventh time in 8 years. Stanford is USC’s oldest rival, dating to 1905. USC has won just 25% of its past dozen games versus the Cardinal, but has captured 2 of the past 3 in L.A.

Stanford starting QB KJ Costello did not return after taking a hit to the head near the end of the first half of the Cardinal’s 17-7 win against Northwestern. The injury occurred on a play during which Costello went into a sliding motion and received a forearm to the head from Northwestern defensive lineman Earnest Brown. It did not draw a penalty for targeting. With Costello sidelined in the second half, Stanford did not score any points on offense. Highly touted backup Davis Mills completed 7 of 14 passes for 81 yards.

Last year, Stanford beat USC 17-3. The Cardinal sacked Daniels four times and forced three turnovers. Bryce Love rushed for 136 yards and a touchdown – he’s now in the NFL.

2019 College Football Week 2 Parlay Picks

Definitely bet the under in Stanford/USC regardless of number with both QBs maybe out and parlay that with Washington ATS.

Previous Betting News

It was about the chalkiest Week 1 in college football as possible as the only ranked team to lose was No. 11 Oregon and the Ducks were underdogs against No. 16 Auburn. Will we see any shockers in Week 2? Here’s a look at two intriguing matchups and we will have many individual NCAA Football Betting previews here at Mybookie.

2019 College Football Week 2 Odds, Overview & Picks

No. 12 Texas A&M at No. 1 Clemson

When: Saturday, 3:30 PM ET (ABC)
College Football Week 2 Odds: Clemson -18.5

One of the best matchups of Week 2 and probably the only realistic shot that Clemson has to lose in the 2019 regular season with such an easy schedule remaining. These teams played a great game in Week 2 last year in College Station with the Tigers escaping 28-26. Kelly Bryant threw for 205 yards and a touchdown and ran for another score. Current Tigers star QB Trevor Lawrence wasn’t even the starter yet. He did play, though, going was 5 of 9 for 93 yards with a 64-yard touchdown pass to Diondre Overton that made it 14-3 early in the second quarter.

Texas A&M quarterback Kellen Mond was great in the second half, throwing for three touchdowns, with a 14-yard pass to Kendrick Rogers cutting the lead to 28-26 with 46 seconds left. But his big performance came up just short when the 2-point conversion attempt was intercepted in the end zone.

Clemson opened this season with a 52-14 win over Georgia Tech. Travis Etienne had a career-high 205 rushing yards. Clemson rushed for 411 yards, the most in a season-opener since 1957 and the most allowed by Georgia Tech since 1975. The Tigers extended their winning streak to 16 games, which dates back to the start of the 2018 season.

Lawrence completed 13-23 passes for 168 yards and one touchdown. Tee Higgins finished with four catches for 98 yards, including a 62-yard touchdown from Lawrence with 4:34 to go in the first half to put Clemson ahead 28-0. Higgins upped his touchdown streak to five-straight games. e Clemson defense forced four turnovers, with Tanner Muse and Denzel Johnson recording interceptions. The four turnovers were the most the Tigers forced since 2015 against Notre Dame. Isaiah Simmons led the defense with 10 tackles.

A&M opened with a 41-7 win over Texas State. Texas A&M’s four interceptions were the most in a game for the Aggies since 2006, (also four vs. Texas). Mond threw three touchdown passes and ran for another score in just more than three quarters.

Mond, who threw for 194 yards, had touchdown passes of 21 and 3 yards and ran for another score in the first two quarters as Texas A&M raced to a 28-0 halftime lead. Quartney Davis had 85 yards receiving and a touchdown and Jhamon Ausbon added a touchdown catch. First-year starter Jashaun Corbin had 103 yards rushing with a touchdown reception and a TD run.

The Aggies racked up 400-plus yards of total offense for the sixth consecutive game and the 11th time in the Jimbo Fisher era (14 games). Texas A&M is currently on a five-game win streak, the longest active streak in the SEC. After recording just three interceptions in the first 10 games of the Jimbo Fisher era, the Aggies have eight INTs over the last four games.

Cincinnati at No. 5 Ohio State

When: Saturday, noon ET (ABC)
College Football Week 2 Odds: OSU -17

Ohio State has won its past 41 games vs. in-state teams, last losing way back in 1921. The Buckeyes rolled to a 45-21 win over Florida Atlantic to open the year. Justin Fields, a sophomore transfer quarterback from Georgia, threw for four touchdowns and ran for another score in his Ohio State debut. He completed 18-of-25 passes for 234 yards.

The Buckeyes recorded 12 tackles-for-loss (-64) and four sacks resulting in losses of 43 yards. The Owls managed 228 total yards of offense while the Buckeyes gained 469. J.K. Dobbins ran for 91 yards on 21 carries with one score to lead the Buckeyes on the ground. The win was the fourth for Ryan Day, head coach of the Buckeyes, who posted a 3-0 record a year ago as interim head coach. Since 1922, Ohio State is 444-112-20 all time in Ohio Stadium.

Cincinnati knocked off UCLA 24-14 in Week 1. Junior running back Michael Warren II scored one touchdown on the ground and caught one of sophomore quarterback Desmond Ridder’s two scoring passes. Warren finished with 92 yards on 26 carries while Ridder was going 18-for-26 for 242 yards.

The Bearcats never trailed after Ridder and tight end Josiah Deguara teamed up on a 16-yard scoring pass following Hicks’ recovery of a Thompson-Robinson fumble at Cincinnati’s 17-yard line on UCLA’s first possession of the season.

Ohio State and Cincinnati meet for the fifth time this century. Ohio State and Cincinnati last met during the 2014 season with the Buckeyes prevailing in an entertaining and hard-fought game, 50-28. Cincinnati coach Luke Fickell spent 21 seasons at Ohio State: five as a player (1992-96) and 16 as a coach, including on staff for the 2002 and 2014 national championship seasons. The Buckeyes are 14-2 in the series and have won 11 straight in it dating back to a 29-0 win in 1900. Cincinnati’s two wins came in 1896 and 1897, respectively.
