Just like that the opening week of the 2019 college football season is in the books. We waste no time looking ahead to Week 2 action on the college gridiron.
I’ve put together a full betting schedule below, which includes the opening lines, current odds and totals (when available). You will also find links to our individual game previews, where our experts give out a free betting lean.
Week 2 College Football Preview Schedule & Betting Odds
The biggest difference from Week 1 to Week 2 is we have some actual game action to digest and use to handicap the upcoming games. With that said, it’s important to not overreact to what you saw in Week 1.
Oddsmakers are great at knowing where they public money will be coming in and are going to inflate those lines. This is true more so for your high-profile Power 5 teams. They are a lot slower to adjust the lines on smaller schools, as those games just don’t get as much action.
Week 2 NCAAF Game Lines & Free Picks Against the Spread & Total
There are two games that are going to get a ton of hype in Week 2. Both will feature two Top 15 teams against each other. The first showdown has the No. 1 Clemson Tigers hosting the No. 12 Texas A&M Aggies. Last year the Tigers barely squeaked by with a 28-26 win at Texas A&M.
The second big contest is No. 6 LSU visiting No. 10 Texas. First meeting between these two powerhouses since they met in the 2003 Cotton Bowl.
Some other intriguing games that will feature Top 25 teams include No. 24 Nebraska going on the road to face Colorado. No. 22 Syracuse gets a big road test at Maryland, No. 17 UCF travels to Boca Raton to take on Lane Kiffin’s FAU Owls, No. 13 Washington gets Pac-12 play underway at home against Cal and USC hosts No. 25 Stanford after losing starting QB J.T. Daniels to a season-ending injury.
