We had some major upsets in Week 1 of the 2019 college football season. Georgia State picked up their first win EVER against a Power 5 team as they took down Tennessee, ruining Jeremy Pruitt’s debut at the helm of the Volunteers. Oregon almost upset Auburn before freshman quarterback Bo Nix led the Tigers on a dramatic comeback to take the win with a late touchdown pass. Ole Miss fell to Memphis, and Arkansas almost lost to FCS foe Portland State at home. Virginia Tech went up to Boston College and lost by seven. Alabama and Georgia held serve to win, as did Clemson, keeping the top three stable, and Ohio State got a dominant performance out of Justin Fields in a convincing win. What can we expect to see in College Football Week 2? Check out our NCAAF betting picks.

2019 College Football Week 2 Odds, Overview and Picks

#13 Texas A&M (+18.5) at Clemson

This is the rematch of a game in which the Aggies almost beat Clemson in the second week a year ago in College Station. Now the series moves to Death Valley, but Trevor Lawrence did not look all that sharp for the Tigers in their win over Georgia Tech, with a pair of interceptions, and the Aggies picked off four passes against Texas State in their opening win. Give me Texas A&M to cover.

#6 LSU (-4.5) at #10 Texas

LSU put up points in bunches against Georgia Southern, but they will have a much better defense facing them when they head to Austin to take on Texas. The Longhorns beat Louisiana Tech, 45-14, in their opener, and they also beat Georgia in the Sugar Bowl last year. LSU is going to have a hard time getting out of Austin. Give me Texas to cover.

#25 Stanford (+3.5) at USC

USC lost quarterback J.T. Daniels for the season, and while backup Kedon Slovis came in to finish the win against Fresno State, the Stanford defense will be much less forgiving. How on earth is USC still a favorite here? Take the money before the line moves. Stanford to cover.

Cincinnati (+17) at #5 Ohio State

Cincinnati took down UCLA at home in their opener, thanks to an ironclad defense. Ohio State has the real deal in quarterback Justin Fields — but can he beat the Bearcats by enough to cover this line? Given the Buckeyes’ talent on defense, I say yes. Give me Ohio State to win and cover.

Army (+23) at Michigan

Army tends to slow the ball down here thanks to their triple-option offense — and they pushed Oklahoma to overtime on the road last year. Is a 23-point line really realistic here? I like Army to cover.

Cal (+13.5) at Washington

Jacob Eason did a terrific job leading the Washington over Eastern Washington. Cal had a hard time dealing with UC-Davis in their opener. Two touchdowns are a lot of points to put on a point spread, but Washington has the talent to bury the Golden Bears. I like Washington to win and cover.

#22 Syracuse (-3) at Maryland

Maryland scored 79 points against Howard in their opener. Syracuse also won their first game, taking down Liberty on the road, but the Orange will need to find some defense, apparently, to hang with Maryland in Week 2. Syracuse has beaten Clemson and then scared them in the last two seasons, so they can get up for the big games. Give me Syracuse to win and cover.

#17 UCF (-10) at Florida Atlantic

Here is another baffling line, given the disparity between the Knights and the Owls. Lane Kiffin is still a big name, but he has not led FAU to any big results against contending programs during his time on campus. Before that line moves, put money on UCF to win and cover.
