College football Week 2 Friday best bets

Buy Buckeyes Tickets

If you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We are diving into our favorite picks against the spread for this Saturday, but if you are looking for more information or to place a bet check out Tipico Sportsbook.

We are currently killing the game with a nice record of 12-7 after finishing last week at 10-5. We finished the week off strong with an easy bet on the Clemson Tigers. This Friday slate is a little odd, but perhaps our string of luck will continue into Week 2 of the 2022 college football season. We have two match-ups with one featuring a pretty large spread.

Louisville at UCF (-6.5)

Sc State Ucf 4

Louisville is coming into the Bounce House 0-1 after getting embarrassed by a below-average Syracuse team, 31-7. Tiyon Evans wasn’t exactly a star and Malik Cunningham threw two interceptions. The Cardinals also allowed an astonishing 5.2 yards per carry as Syracuse marched down their throats for 207 rushing yards. This is more of a bet against Louisville than it is on UCF.

Boise State -16.5 New Mexico

Soobum Im-USA TODAY Sports

I am going against the grain on this one. I know Boise State suffered a beatdown from Oregon State and New Mexico looked good against Maine, but those opponents are not the same. Boise State lost to a Pac-12 team that might actually be solid this season. Give me Boise State to bounce back.
