2025 CFB Odds: Back Texas to Cover Huge Spread, USC to Score Big

College football Week 1 gave us a glimpse into what we can expect from some of the top teams. 

Now, in Week 2, we're going to get a clearer picture, as squads like Texas try to bounce back and Michigan gets a chance to take its show on the road.

Here's what I'm wagering on this weekend.

Michigan @ Oklahoma

This Saturday will be Michigan’s first non-conference road game since 2018 and the Wolverines are doing it with a true freshman quarterback making his first road start. 

Bryce Underwood had a fantastic game in Week 1. He just turned 18, and attempted 31 passes with 21 completions for 251 yards. It was a controlled game plan that featured a ton of run/pass options and single-read play action pass concepts. 

Can Bryce Underwood lead the Wolverines to victory in Week 2?

It was an outstanding design by the Michigan staff for the QB. Michigan’s offense also added 200 yards on the ground, which kept everything on schedule.

However, the Oklahoma defense that Michigan’s offense is going to face is not New Mexico. It’s going to give the Wolverines some issues, so I'm wagering on that being problematic for Underwood. 

Michigan’s offensive line was just OK in Week 1, and we know that unit has new pieces. 

Week 1 to Week 2 can often see a huge jump in productivity, as players are more comfortable in game conditions. However, I don’t see this matchup having that effect on the Wolverines' blocking unit. When their offense is on schedule — meaning first down is positive, second down is position, and they are either moving the chains or having a third-and-short situation — it’s going to excel all season. 

I doubt those situations will happen often in this game. 

Michigan had seven situations of third-and-seven (or greater)
