College Football Betting: What Games You Must Bet and Avoid in Week 2 | MyBookie Regular Season Betting Preview

2023 NCAA Division I FBS football season | 154th season of college football in the United States
NCAAF Week 2: September 5th – September 11th, 2023

Ole Miss Rebels at Tulane Green Wave | BET BIG

NCAAF Odds: Ole Miss -7; Tulane +7 / Ole Miss -274; Tulane +216 / O/U 63.5
Saturday, September 9, 2023 at 7:00 PM | ESPN
Bryant-Denny Stadium, Tuscaloosa, AL

The Rebels looked great in Week 1 with 73 points against Mercer. The Rebels will score less than 73 points in this game but expect that offense to keep moving the football.

Tulane is much better, in fact, worthy of a Top 25 marking. The Green Wave beat South Alabama by 20 in the opener.

Look for this game to be competitive for much of the game, but late is when the Rebels take over and win this game by a touchdown. Ole Miss covers the spread despite being on the road on Saturday.

North Carolina Tar Heels -15 vs. Appalachian State Mountaineers | BET BIG

NCAAF Odds: North Carolina -18; Appalachian State +18 / North Carolina -847; Appalachian State +550 / O/U 60.5
Saturday, September 9, 2023 at 5:15 PM | ACCN
Kenan Stadium, Chapel Hill, NC

The Tar Heels beat a solid South Carolina team in Week 1. Now, they get the Mountaineers of Appalachian State in Week 2.

The visitors come into the game fresh off a whipping over Gardner-Webb at home. Appalachian State is a program that knows how to win. They know how to compete. But this Mack Brown team seems focused and ready to go all out to win in 2023.

The Mountaineers will need help keeping up with the Tar Heels passing attack. Expect North Carolina to get to 40+ under Drake Maye. That leaves us with the thought of the Tar Heels covering the spread of 15 here.

Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Texas Longhorns | BET BIG

NCAAF Odds: Alabama +7; Texas -7 / Alabama -289; Texas +226 / O/U 55.5
Saturday, September 9, 2023 at 7:00 PM | ESPN
Bryant-Denny Stadium, Tuscaloosa, AL

One of the best games in Week 2 of the College Football season. A season ago, these two teams played, and it was a one-point game. That was with a more experienced Longhorns team. Expect to avoid that to happen this season in Tuscaloosa.

The Alabama Crimson Tide are one of the top teams in the nation for a reason. Passing, running, defending – the Crimson Tide beat down Texas on Saturday. Do not be surprised if this game is over by halftime. Alabama wins big.

Washington State Cougars +4 vs. Wisconsin Badgers | BET BIG

NCAAF Odds: Washington State +6.5; Wisconsin -6.5 / Washington State +191; Wisconsin -239 / O/U 55.5
Saturday, September 9, 2023 at 7:30 PM | ABC
Martin Stadium, Pullman, WA

The Badgers have to go on the road across the country against a talented, motivated team and are favorites in this game. This is an incorrect line by oddsmakers.

The Washington State Cougars are the better team here. Washington State should win this game straight up over Wisconsin on Saturday.

USC Trojans -30 vs. Stanford Cardinals | BET BIG

NCAAF Odds: USC -30; Stanford +30 / O/U 69.5
Saturday, September 9, 2023 at 10:30 PM | FOX
Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles, CA

The Stanford Cardinals came away with a win in Week 1 over Hawaii. But now, Week 2 sees a different animal. The USC Trojans, one of the top offenses in College Football, will be the host here.

Caleb Williams has had no problems through his first two games of the season, spreading the ball all over the field. Look for that to continue in this game as the Trojans get ahead, stay ahead, and cover the big spread. The Trojans win by five touchdowns or more in this game.

Games to Avoid in NCAAF Week 2
Now, let’s take a look at a few games that you suggest avoiding on when betting this coming weekend.

Texas Tech Red Raiders vs. Oregon Ducks | AVOID

NCAAF Odds: Texas Tech +7; Oregon -7 / Texas Tech +198; Oregon -250 / O/U 66.5
Saturday, September 9, 2023 at 7:00 PM | FOX
Jones AT&T Stadium, Lubbock, TX

Texas Tech lost in Week 1. Oregon won big in Week 1. Many would think that’s a sign of a blowout coming.

It would not be a surprise for both teams to look slightly different with a new opponent. Pulling the trigger on this one could be a big regret as the game progresses. Sit back and watch this one play out.

UNLV Running Rebelsat Michigan Wolverines | AVOID

NCAAF Odds: UNLV +36.5; Michigan -36.5 / O/U 57.5
Saturday, September 9, 2023 at 3:30 PM | CBS
Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, MI

The Michigan Wolverines are an excellent football team. But UNLV will get on the board at least once here, if not a second time.

The five-touchdown spread is the issue here. While the Wolverines can score, not sure they will pass enough to cover this one—another game to watch from afar on Saturday.

Iowa Hawkeyes at Iowa State Cyclones | AVOID – Big Rivalry-type Game of the Week

NCAAF Odds: Iowa -4; Iowa State +4 / Iowa -177; Iowa State +144 / O/U 36.5
Saturday, September 9, 2023 at 3:30 PM | FOX
Jack Trice Stadium, Ames, IA

A state rivalry game. Iowa got off to a quick start but fizzled a bit in their season opener. Still coming away with a win. Can the Hawkeyes score enough to blow the doors off Iowa State?

The Cyclones were not tested much in Week 1. Do not be surprised to see this a game that comes down to the final possession in a big rivalry-type game.

Utah Utes -6 at Baylor Bears | AVOID

NCAAF Odds: Utah -7; Baylor +7 / Utah -309; Baylor +238 / O/U 47.5
Saturday, September 9, 2023 at 12:00 PM | ESPN
McLane Stadium, Waco, TX

Another game featuring two teams that went opposite directions in Week 1. Utah was impressive with their home blowout win over Florida. Baylor was upset by a massive underdog in Week 2.

We will find out if Baylor is just a bad football team or played a horrendous Week 1 game. Utah will come after them, and we will see who is under center for the Utes. This is one to avoid altogether.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish at North Carolina State WolfPack | AVOID

NCAAF Odds: Notre Dame -7.5; North Carolina State +7.5 / Notre Dame -309; North Carolina State +240 / O/U 51.5
Saturday, September 9, 2023 at 12:00 PM | ABC
Carter-Finley Stadium, Raleigh, NC

The Irish are looking for their third straight win to start the season. Sam Hartman has looked good in an Irish uniform so far. He will be familiar with the Wolf Pack defense after his time at Wake Forest. But, on the other side, the Wolf Pack should have a good plan for Hartman.

The Wolf Pack also won in Week 1, albeit less impressive. Still, a win is a win and a road win at that. This could be one of the most competitive games of the day and come down to a one-score game.
