Weekly College Football Predictions by Tuley: Top Bets and Forecasts for Week 2

In the world of college football, predictions are always a hot topic, and this week, the Tuley's Takes team is back with their picks for Week 2.

Last week saw some mixed results for the team. They went 1-3 against the spread (ATS), with their only win coming on Toledo +10 in a 24-16 loss at Kentucky. Their losses included Colorado +4.5 vs. Georgia Tech, Sam Houston +10 vs. UNLV, and Texas +1.5. Despite these losses, the team remains optimistic for this week.

One of the games that has caught their attention is the matchup between Western Kentucky and Toledo. Western Kentucky's QB Maverick McIvor had strong performances in their first two games of the season, and the team is considering a bet on Western Kentucky (+7) against Toledo. This is surprising, given that Toledo is the preseason MAC favourites, but Western Kentucky is considered a live dog in this game.

Another intriguing matchup is the Texas State vs. UTSA game. Both teams had losses in their opening games, with Texas State's QB Brad Jackson, RB Lincoln Pare, and WR Beau Sparkas having impressive performances in Week 1. The Tuley's Takes team sees potential for a close game or even an upset in this matchup, and they are considering a bet on Texas State (+4).

The team is also considering a parlay bet on Iowa +3.5 and Under 43 in the Iowa vs. Iowa State game. Iowa is 12-1 straight up (SU) and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road openers, according to Marc Lawrence of playbooksports.com. In the game Missouri State vs. Marshall, Missouri State is underdogs by 9 points.

The Tuley's Takes team believes there is a high probability of a low-scoring game that comes down to a field goal either way. They also published their picks for four College Football games in total for Week 2.

It's important to note that the "Bowler Blues" trend, which have a poor ATS record in CFB Week 2, includes both Toledo and UTSA, according to Lawrence's Playbook. This trend might have an impact on the team's decisions, but they remain confident in their picks.

Andreas Renner and Christian Schimmel, authors of the college football predictions for week 2, published their picks on the online platform Sportradio360. As always, the Tuley's Takes team encourages everyone to do their own research and make informed decisions when placing bets.
