Simmons vs. The Spread: Week 2 College Picks

Last week was one of the wildest weekends of College Football I can remember in a long time and we could not have asked for a better start to this season.

While there are less heavyweight matchups we will still see No.1 Alabama go into Texas. The spread in this game is Alabama -21, which shows how loaded the Crimson Tide are.

Keep an eye out on Fanduel for Alabama’s team total. These numbers go up closer to game time, but I would consider at the over on anything up to 42.5 as Saban will look to make a statement here.

As well, Florida and Kentucky meet in not just a battle of SEC teams, but a battle of two potential first round Quarterbacks next season in the electric Anthony Richardson and Will Levis.

The spread on FanDuel is -5.5 for Florida, who will be looking to avoid a letdown spot after pulling off the home upset over Utah last week.

As much as these are the best games on the field, that does not necessarily mean they are the best games to bet on at FanDuel this weekend. 

Here are my best bets for this week’s games.

North Carolina Tar Heels at Georgia State Wildcats

Spread: North Carolina -6.5

Total:  65

In the movie Draft Day (Spoiler Alert!) the character played by Kevin Costner reveals a piece of paper at the end of the movie that says “Vontae Mack no matter what”, well that is exactly how I feel about North Carolina Overs.

This Tar Heels offence is incredibly impressive and has averaged 59.5 ppg through two games led. As good as they are on offence, they are equally horrible on defence.

Through two games, they gave up 648 total yards and 61 points to Appalachian State including 40 in the 4th quarter and 335 yards and 24 points to Florida A&M.

In contrast, last week Florida A&M had 121 total yards in 59-3 to
