For all the brouhaha and hullabaloo, the first week of college football only had a few great games. To honor that, we only made a few great predictions. Look at Jonathan Wuchter predicting Florida State to cover (I’m told the Seminoles did a lot more than cover), or Zach Edwards going against the grain and trusting the Western Michigan Broncos to only lose by 17 points. Zigging where others zag could be the move, when all of us aligned on a prediction — see Clemson and Notre Dame — things went horribly wrong.
None of us did better than .500, but you know what they say — the house loses eventually! Anyways, it’s a close race, and we picked 10 more games below to make it even closer.
Here are our, hopefully, improved picks on the biggest games of Week 2 (against the spread):
