talk YouTube channel that way you're not missing any of this great free content I have four underdogs for you on Saturday remember last week I said my two favorite underdogs were North Texas and Sam Houston State both of them won outright and cover the spread by a combined 49 points as a reminder you can always comment down below with any questions or thoughts on these selections I'm going to be getting to those four underdogs in just a moment but first we start with College Football Week 2 Picks: Texas vs Michigan the biggest game on Saturday Texas at Michigan on Fox noon eastern time I am going with the Texas team total under 24 A2 now do I think Michigan wins this game probably not can they cover the plus 7even A2 possibly my concern though with the Wolverines is the offense did not look strong up front against Fresno State averaging just 4.4 yards per carry in that game and remember a defensive touchdown was needed to get to the final to get the final margin pardon me to 20 points however remember what I said earlier this week on the morning wager this Michigan defense has allowed more than 24 points in only one game since the start of the 2022 season so look for Texas win or lose to struggle to put points on the board Saturday in the big College Football Week 2 Picks: Army vs Florida Atlantic house number two here's a more under the radar game you need to be looking at uh in the noon Eastern Time window Army plus three against Florida Atlantic always love a service Academy catching points but first let's focus on the FAU side where Tom Herman does not exactly have them believing in boka Ron uh you go back to last year guys the owls have now lost five consecutive games they did get the cash last week in East Lancing as double digit underdogs but that was largely thanks to Michigan State keeping him in the game two Red Zone turnovers uh with two Red Zone turnovers I should say I think cam fer the quarterback for fa he just isn't very good uh they were not sad to see him go at Marshall that's for sure meanwhile Army they've won five straight games dating back to last year a little unarm like though in scoring late last week to cover the number against FCS Lehi I may have to check with my good buddy Mark Zeno to see what's up there uh but I'm going to look to the fact that the Black Knights are going to be fired up to play their first conference game as an AAC member FAU after traveling to Michigan State just a week to prepare for The Unique Army offense and the owls have rival FIU on College Football Week 2 Picks: Arkansas vs Oklahoma State Deck give me the points number three speaking of give me the points Arkansas plus 10 at Oklahoma state is the third play on Saturday's power five I think I'm on an island here guys I get it this line did get as low as seven and a half earlier in the week so it looked like some people agreed with me but now the numbers steamed back up to double digits give me the unranked Road dog though against the top 25 opponent usually value in that situation with the unranked Road dog I know everyone wants to point towards Mike Gundy in his two decades of success in Still Water plus he's got one of the most experienced teams in the country coming in 2024 season but Oklahoma state was actually out gained in conference play last year so the argument could be made it was a bit of a fraudulent run to the Big 12 title game I'll make that argument plus if you put on the tape from last week the pokes did not tackle well against an FCS opponent South Dakota State now let's look at Arkansas for a second Bobby patrino back in fville as the OC patrino known for two things we do not need to get into one of those here but the second is that the man knows offense last week against Arkansas Pine Bluff admittedly an overmatched team the Razorback scored a touchdown on all 10 offensive possessions I like that it's not going to be that easy this week obviously but uh the Hogs are live in this game woo Pig sui is uh how I'm looking at that one let's continue to College Football Week 2 Picks: Tulsa vs Arkansas State take points number four another matchup of an Arkansas School against the Oklahoma school only this time I'm back in the Oklahoma School Tulsa plus eight versus Arkansas State Arkansas State cheated last week to defeat Central Arkansas you don't believe me let me read this tweet to you okay quote Sun Belt announces its video review officials made an incorrect call on Arkansas State's game-winning touchdown pass for central Arkansas with 2 seconds left the review officials incorrectly ruled the play of TD leading to Arkansas State's 3431 win shout out to my buddy Keith Landry AKA by you bets on Twitter for sending me that and considering that information okay the final score I don't want to be laying this many points with the redwolves against an FBS opponent Okay Tulsa I think is a team that's trending up under second-year head coach Kevin Wilson Believe It or Not per Phil steel of the top 15 recruits in program history five are in the most recent class for Tulsa so I like the new influx of talent he's bringing in and I definitely like the fact that golden hurricane are 2610 and 2 ATS as a road dog the last nine Seasons giby Tulsa plus the points there one more to get through that I'm going to be letting you know how you can get all of this weekend's plays college football NFL and MLB for just College Football Week 2 Picks: Utah State vs USC $49 the fifth and final play of Saturday's power five is going to be Utah State plus 28 and a half versus USC ugly I get it yet very similar to the play on Northern Illinois against NRE Dame I gave out earlier in the week here on the power five it's very simple guys it's a big let down spot for USC after that big win the Trojans had over LSU on Sunday short week won't help the Trojans at all matter of fact I think it's a hindrance this number it opened on the other side of 20 you have to think SC would not have been bet up had they not won the coin flip game in Vegas I wonder what the spread is if they lose there well we don't have to wonder cuz uh USC won nevertheless I think Utah State keeps this close history says they will because USC head coach Lincoln Riley just 13 and 20 ATS all time as a favorite of at least 21 points I wanted to give something for you late night degenerates out there so Utah State plus 282 it is we now recap Saturday Power 5 Recap the power five for Saturday college football week two play number one Texas team total under 24 and a half
