College Football Week 2 Weekday Games Preview & Picks Recap

The College Football Experience (@TCEonSGPN) on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network continues its 2026 season coverage with college football Week 2 predictions, a full weekday preview and picks show. Pick Dundee aka (@TheColbyD) and Ryan McIntyre (@Moneyline_Mac) run the entire midweek slate and hand out their favorite bets. Does Miami blow past Florida A&M and push the over 61.5? Is Villanova live to cover 36.5 at Louisville behind a veteran quarterback? Can Michael Vick’s Norfolk State hang with Virginia, or do the Cavaliers run it up? Is Richmond at NC State the cleanest ATS lock on the board? And in the two best games of the week, is the wrong team favored in Rutgers at Boston College, and can Kansas beat Missouri outright at home as a short dog?

From there the guys dig into the Division II and small-college board Colby lives for, from Harding and Shippensburg to Oberlin at Denison and St. John Fisher. They run through Arkansas-Oklahoma border battles and classic Northeastern matchups. Then they close by ranking their top locks and best bets, with Mac planting his flag on Kansas plus the points and the money line. We talk it all and more on this episode of The College Football Experience.

College Football Week 2 Predictions: The FBS Headliners

The guys on The College Football Experience open Thursday with Florida A&M at Miami. Pick Dundee (@TheColbyD) lays the Hurricanes but likes the over 61.5 more. He expects a late garbage score to push it through. Ryan McIntyre (@Moneyline_Mac) would rather take the Rattlers and the points. From there they slide to Friday. Villanova catches 36.5 at Louisville, and both hosts grab the points. They also pound the over near 55 behind a veteran quarterback. Next comes Norfolk State at Virginia. Colby lays the Cavaliers and expects them to run it up on Michael Vick. He is on that over too.

The Two Best Games: Missouri At Kansas And Rutgers At BC

The hosts call two matchups the best of the week. First is Rutgers at Boston College on 9/11. It is the Red Bandanna game, a real tradition. Colby thinks Rutgers wins outright. So he takes the Scarlet Knights on the money line and the points. Mac agrees the wrong team is favored. He trusts Greg Schiano and rides Rutgers too. Then comes Missouri at Kansas, the Border War. Kansas hosts and gets 5.5 as a home dog. Colby is on the Jayhawks money line. He also likes the over 49.5. Mac’s favorite play is Kansas plus the points and the money line. That leads to a revenge spot after a double-digit lead slipped away last year.

Colby’s Small-School Board

The small-school board is where Colby lives. First he hammers Harding as a big Thursday favorite. He raves about their flex offense. Next he takes Shippensburg on the road. He also grabs Denison over Oberlin in Granville. That series dates back to 1911. Then he adds Arkansas-Monticello, North Greenville, Stevenson, and St. John Fisher. On the other side, Mac counters with West Virginia Wesleyan. He also backs East Central and King’s at home. Both land on Denison in the end.

The Best Bets

They close by stacking their favorites into Friday parlays. Both hosts are on Kansas and Rutgers. Those are the Friday-night dogs, not favorites. So the money lines anchor the card. They also mix in the NC State lay and the Virginia over. Colby calls Richmond at NC State his most confident play. The Wolfpack had two weeks to stew, so he locks them laying 30.5. Mac’s single best bet is Kansas plus the points and the money line. Finally, Colby’s Thursday banger is the Miami over 61.5. He tips it in honor of Florida A&M alum Vince Coleman.
