Week 1 is in the books and now we turn our attention to Week 2. This week and next week are huge overreaction weeks in the college football betting market, so watch for some big adjustments and likely some big line moves as a result of the one or two data points we have on these teams.
We’ve got another compelling slate of non-conference matchups, but also several teams that are starting off conference play early, leading to a lot of situational spots of note for the second week of the season.
Remember, these angles are never sole justifications for making a bet, just a part of the handicap that you want to consider.
The amount of effort put forth by App State in last week’s 63-61 loss to North Carolina could absolutely have some lingering effects in College Station this week. Not only are the boys from Boone off to a rough physical and emotional start, the early forecast shows temperatures around 90 with a dew point in the 70s on a sweltering day in the Lone Star State. Meanwhile, Texas A&M barely broke a sweat in rolling over Sam Houston State in a shutout victory in Week 1. It looks like an uphill climb for the Mountaineers this week.
