Arkansas Razorbacks vs. (20) Utah Utes
Spread: ARK +12.5 | UTAH -12.5
Moneyline: ARK +380 | UTAH -550
Total: 55.5 Over +100 | Under -120

The Arkansas Razorbacks did themselves no favors with their non-conference scheduling. Awaiting them in Week 2 is a feisty Utah Utes squad that's looking to make a name for itself.

Unfortunately, Arkansas was built for last season, and we all know how that turned out. The Razorbacks struggled en route to a 2-10 record, a bar they will likely match in 2026. They didn't come close to covering the number against North Alabama last week, and this week's spread is even more out of reach.

Utah will expose all of Arkansas' weaknesses on Saturday. This spread should climb as we approach kickoff.

Predicted Score: Utah 42 - Arkansas 10
(23) Missouri Tigers vs. Kansas Jayhawks
Spread: MIZZ -5.5 | KU +5.5
Moneyline: MIZZ -225 | KU +190
Total: 50.5 Over -110 | Under -110

The Missouri Tigers put forth a convincing effort in Week 1. However, we're not looking past an underrated Kansas Jayhawks squad on Friday night.

Kansas can neutralize the Tigers' offense with its unrelenting ground game, albeit while running into the strength of Mizzou's defense.

This one will be closer than the spread implies, but watch the Tigers go on a game-winning drive late.

Predicted Score: Missouri 27 - Kansas 24
Arizona State Sun Devils vs. (10) Texas A&M Aggies
Spread: ASU +14.5 | TAMU -14.5
Moneyline: ASU +550 | TAMU -900
Total: 49.5 Over -110 | Under -110

Week 1 was a good indicator for what to expect from the Texas A&M Aggies this season. The playoff contenders blew out Missouri State 50-0, and should earn another convincing win over the Arizona State Sun Devils on Saturday.

Texas A&M is one of the most complete teams in the country. Loaded with playmakers on both sides of the football, the Aggies should have no problem dictating tempo against an overmatched ASU side.

The Aggies will build a comfortable lead early and march to victory at Kyle Field.

Predicted Score: Texas A&M 38 - Arizona State 10
(11) Oklahoma Sooners vs. Michigan Wolverines
Spread: OKLA -5.5 | MICH +5.5
Moneyline: OKLA -230 | MICH +195
Total: 43.5 Over -110 | Under -110

The replay officials will have a hard time finding a way to help the Michigan Wolverines best the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday afternoon.

As expected, the Sooners bested UTEP in the season opener, doubling the Miners' yardage. Conversely, Michigan was outgained by Group of 6 afterthought Western Michigan.

We don't care if this one is being played at The Big House; Oklahoma is clearly the superior team, and the spread doesn't reflect their presumed dominance. Easy ATS win for the Sooners.

Predicted Score: Oklahoma 30 - Michigan 20
Western Kentucky Hilltoppers vs. (2) Georgia Bulldogs
Spread: WKU +40.5 | UGA -40.5
Moneyline: OTB
Total: 56.5 Over -105 | Under -115

The Georgia Bulldogs are vying for the SEC Championship and a coveted College Football Playoff spot. While we have full confidence in their ability to compete for both, we are more apprehensive about their chances of covering the spread versus the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.

It's hard to take a Group of 6 team seriously against the SEC, especially after Western Kentucky's abysmal performance versus Nevada. Still, this is a team that can put up yards on offense and should tighten up defensively.

Let's be real. The Hilltoppers don't have a chance of upsetting Georgia at home, but the spread is definitely in play. Points galore in this one.

Predicted Score: Georgia 49 - Western Kentucky 14
(12) Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Kentucky Wildcats
Spread: ALA -10.5 | UK +10.5
Moneyline: ALA -425 | UK +320
Total: 49.5 Over -105 | Under -115

Kalen DeBoer has a knack for extracting maximum value on offense, but we're anticipating more of a defensive battle at Kroger Field. The Alabama Crimson Tide could be without AK Dear for a second straight week, meaning it falls squarely on Keelon Russell's shoulders at Kroger Field.

Even with dual-threat Keelon Russell calling the shots, Bama's offense looks a little too predictable. DeBoer will lean on the run to control the clock, taking on the strength of Kentucky's defense.

This betting line is right on the money. Kentucky covers in a game that inches over the total.

Predicted Score: Alabama 30 - Kentucky 20
Mississippi State Bulldogs vs. Minnesota Golden Gophers
Spread: MSST -1.5 | MINN +1.5
Moneyline: MSST -120 | MINN +100
Total: 55.5 Over +100 | Under -120

Kudos to the Mississippi State Bulldogs for taking care of business against UL-Monroe in Week 1. Sadly, that will likely be the pinnacle of their season.

That's because the Bulldogs travel to The North Star State for a clash versus the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Without question, Minnesota is the most undervalued program in the Big Ten. The Golden Gophers have earned a bowl game berth in five straight seasons. More importantly, they are built to compete this season.

Mississippi State shouldn't be favored in this one. This is an easy play on Minnesota.

Predicted Score: Mississippi State 17 - Minnesota 23
Delaware Blue Hens vs. Vanderbilt Commodores
Spread: DEL +21.5 | VAN -21.5
Moneyline: DEL +1100 | VAN -2500
Total: 54.5 Over -115 | Under -105

Inarguably, the Vanderbilt Commodores program has never been in a better position. Coming off a 10-win season, the Commodores are looking to recapture that magic in 2026. Unfortunately, they could face some unexpected opposition from the Delaware Blue Hens.

The Blue Hens moved the ball with ease last week, churning out 547 yards of total offense, albeit against FCS Merrimack. Vandy had a similar winnable game, looking much less impressive. The Commodores eked out a 28-9 win as -28.5 chalk, needing 13 second-half points to pull away.

This will be the most unexpected outcome in Week 2. Delaware walks into FirstBank Stadium as substantive underdogs and walks out winners.

Predicted Score: Delaware 28 - Vanderbilt 27
Campbell Fighting Camels vs. Florida Gators
Spread: CAMP +51.5 | FLA -51.5
Moneyline: OTB
Total: 66.5 Over -105 | Under -115

Wins haven't come easily for the Florida Gators over the past few years. Thankfully, they can make amends with another convincing win in Week 2.

Florida demolished FAU last week, walking away with a 66-21 win, and finally living up to the offensive expectations. Even sitting 2-0 on the season, Campbell offers little resistance on defense. They have given up an average of 427.5 yards per game against FCS competition.

Florida's tires get pumped up a little bit more in Week 2, but the real challenges lie on the horizon.

Predicted Score: Florida 56 - Campbell 6
(18) Tennessee Volunteers vs. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
Spread: TENN -11.5 | GT +11.5
Moneyline: TENN -500 | GT +360
Total: 55.5 Over -115 | Under -105

We're not sure what to expect from the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, but we know exactly what the Tennessee Volunteers are capable of. The Vols will lean into their run game against Georgia Tech, prioritizing offense over defense against a non-conference opponent.

Clearly, Tennessee's advantage lies on the offensive side of the ball. They put up more than 600 yards of offense in their season opener, forsaking defense for more points.

That strategy will pay off against the Yellow Jackets, but we're not convinced it's a recipe for long-term success.

Predicted Score: Tennessee 42 - Georgia Tech 24
Towson Tigers vs. South Carolina Gamecocks
Spread: TOWS +42.5 | SC -42.5
Moneyline: OTB
Total: 56.5 Over -105 | Under -115

If the South Carolina Gamecocks hope to earn a bowl game berth, they have to make the most of their non-conference schedule. That includes Saturday's showdown versus the Towson Tigers.

Towson has FBS aspirations, but it's not close to making the jump. The Tigers were trounced by Navy last time out, dropping a 42-15 decision. In that contest, they gave up 521 yards, all but 21 of which came on the ground.

South Carolina will turn to its run game to negate the Tigers' offense. In doing so, they could come up short of covering the number.

Predicted Score: South Carolina 42 - Towson 3
Louisiana Tech Bulldogs vs. (8) LSU Tigers
Spread: LT +35.5 | LSU -35.5
Moneyline: LT +3500 | LSU -50000
Total: 55.5 Over -105 | Under -115

Given their penchant for seeking NFL-caliber talent, LSU's days in the SEC could be numbered. Expect the Tigers to make the most of this season as they prove themselves a worthy adversary of the top conference powers -- a distinction unbefitting of the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs.

LSU flaunted its full arsenal in a Week 1 triumph over Clemson. The Tigers were more modest -10 chalk, easily covering the spread in a 51-10 thrashing. If that's what they can do against a premier Power 4 team, imagine the damage they can inflict against L-Tech.

The Tigers will tear a piece off the Bulldogs in this one.

Predicted Score: LSU 49 - Louisiana Tech 0
(1) Ohio State Buckeyes vs. (4) Texas Longhorns
Spread: OSU +1.5 | TEX -1.5
Moneyline: OSU +105 | TEX -125
Total: 49.5 Over -105 | Under -115

The Texas Longhorns have had this date circled since last year's Week 1 loss against this Ohio State Buckeyes team. The playoff hopefuls will exact revenge in front of their home faithful at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium.

Texas looked the part in a Week 1 win over Texas State. The Longhorns won and covered as -29.5 favorites, totaling 516 yards of offense in a 59-7 win. Granted, the 349 yards they allowed were cause for concern, but we expect Steve Sarkisian to tidy up defensive play in a hurry.

This will be a defining moment of the Longhorns' season. Texas prevails in a playoff-worthy showdown.

Predicted Score: Texas 21 - Ohio State 20
Southern Miss Golden Eagles vs. Auburn Tigers
Spread: USM +33.5 | AUB -33.5
Moneyline: USM +3000 | AUB -20000
Total: 56.5 Over -110 | Under -110

Let's be clear. The Auburn Tigers are getting way too much credit in this spot. The downtrodden program eked out a win in Week 1, and it's unlikely they put everything together against the Southern Miss Golden Eagles.

Auburn gave up 436 yards versus Baylor last week, while putting up just 389. Southern Miss isn't on the same level as Baylor, but we also can't expect Auburn to solve all of its problems in just one week. At the same time, the Eagles pummeled Alcorn State to the tune of 49-3 with 543 yards of total offense.

Auburn should win another uncomfortable game. Southern Miss covers in a high-scoring affair.

Predicted Score: Auburn 38 - Southern Miss 27
Charlotte 49ers vs. (9) Ole Miss Rebels
Spread: CHAR +46.5 | MISS -46.5
Moneyline: OTB
Total: 61.5 Over -105 | Under -115

Offense will be the prevailing theme of this unsuspecting non-conference matchup. The Ole Miss Rebels were gouged by Louisville last time out, and the Charlotte 49ers prefer to let their offense loose.

As expected, Trinidad Chambliss had the Rebels moving in Week 1. The senior quarterback threw for 336 yards and added 60 on the ground for good measure. Charlotte couldn't contain The Citadel, and Ole Miss will inflict punishment throughout.

This will be a track meet from start to finish. Ole Miss might come up short of the spread, but there's no doubt this one sails over the total.

Predicted Score: Ole Miss 54 - Charlotte 14
Arkansas Razorbacks vs. (20) Utah Utes
Spread: ARK +12.5 | UTAH -12.5
Moneyline: ARK +380 | UTAH -550
Total: 55.5 Over +100 | Under -120

The Arkansas Razorbacks did themselves no favors with their non-conference scheduling. Awaiting them in Week 2 is a feisty Utah Utes squad that's looking to make a name for itself.

Unfortunately, Arkansas was built for last season, and we all know how that turned out. The Razorbacks struggled en route to a 2-10 record, a bar they will likely match in 2026. They didn't come close to covering the number against North Alabama last week, and this week's spread is even more out of reach.

Utah will expose all of Arkansas' weaknesses on Saturday. This spread should climb as we approach kickoff.

Predicted Score: Utah 42 - Arkansas 10
(23) Missouri Tigers vs. Kansas Jayhawks
Spread: MIZZ -5.5 | KU +5.5
Moneyline: MIZZ -225 | KU +190
Total: 50.5 Over -110 | Under -110

The Missouri Tigers put forth a convincing effort in Week 1. However, we're not looking past an underrated Kansas Jayhawks squad on Friday night.

Kansas can neutralize the Tigers' offense with its unrelenting ground game, albeit while running into the strength of Mizzou's defense.

This one will be closer than the spread implies, but watch the Tigers go on a game-winning drive late.

Predicted Score: Missouri 27 - Kansas 24
