Clemson -5 for 5 units
Clemson (# 3) won their debut by a solid 56-3 to Kent State. The defending champions have proven to be a contender once again even without Deshaun Watson at QB. In his stead, Kelly Bryant passed for 236 yards and 1 TD pass, adding 77 rushing yards and a score. Auburn (# 13) won 41-7 against Georgia Southern, a victory that was not enough to cover the line. These programs have met 5 times in the past 7 seasons, with the last 3 meetings won by Clemson, which today opens as a 5 point favorite . For Auburn (#13), Jarrett Stidham (2 turnovers in debut) has to take good care of the football, especially against Clemson's defensive unit, the nation's best pressuring the QB last year (12th in sacks in 2016, 2nd in 2015).
Washington State -10 for 3 units
Double figure odds look good for the underdog Broncos who already cashed in week 1 with a 24-13 over Troy. In week 1, the WSU Cougars won 31-0 in an easy clash against Montana State, but it wasn't enough to cover the line (-41). However, the revenge factor will kick in as the Cougars avenge last year's 31-28 loss to Boise St. Brett Rypien was once coveted by the Cougars, as the nephew of former WSU star, Mark Rypien. He struggled in his first game this season, going 13-of-23 for 160 yards and pick six against Troy, before being replaced by Montell Cozart, who leaded the Cougars to a game clinching TD drive in the 4th quarter. For the Cougars, Luke Falk went 33 for 39 in the opener, and torched the Broncos last year, passing for 480 yards and 4 TDs. Falk will torch the Broncos once again at home, and avenge last season's defeat.
Army -15.5 for 1 unit
The Black Knights run the ball, the Buffalo Bulls can't stop the run. Army ran for 513 yards in their season opener, and they ran for 396 yards in last year's defeat at Buffalo. Revenge factor in play this year, as the Bulls won't be so lucky on the road.
Notre Dame-Georgia UNDER 56.5 for 4 units
The Fighting Irish and the Bulldogs face off in one of the best matchups of Week 2. Both teams had solid victories in their openers. Notre Dame won 49-16 over Temple and Georgia beat Appalachian St by 31-10. I don't believe these offenses will score that many points against better competition. Freshman Jake Fromm will have his first career start at QB for Georgia, Brandon Wimbush his second for the Irish. They will both rely on their RB corps, and I think the one QB who doesn't make as many mistakes will rise up with a hard earned victory.
Good luck!!!

Go PSU.
Tough line vs. Pitt. It's gonna be a good game. PSU should win, but you never know in rivalry games.
Pitt took them out last year so yeah, can never pick those types of games.

STOPWell, I went 2-2. Missed badly with Army and WSU, but got my 2 larger picks in Clemson and the ND Under.
So, I got +4.6 units profit.
Should be better after 2 weeks.
