Here we are folks week two of the college football season and we have a slight idea of how things are going to go but undoubtedly there is still a lot to find out. In week one we saw a lot of the norm, big schools dominating and star players showing out.

But we also saw some shocking moments, with top five Oregon struggling against Boise State, Michigan with a questionable win against Western Michigan, and LSU absolutely blowing Clemson out of the water.

If that chaos is what we have in store for this season this years college football season will be one for the history books.

Check out the best odds on the market and tons of picks for the NCAA Football Season.

Week Two Player Prop Picks

Dante Moore o2.5 Passing Touchdowns +102 on Lucky Rebel

Dante Moore and Oregon would be my pick to win the National Championship this season - NCAA Football Top 25 Rankings

I am expecting a bounce back here from Oregon and Dante Moore. They managed to squeek out the game against Boise Last weekend but it was not a pretty win, and nothing to be happy about from anyone in that program.

They fell to sixth in the rankings this week after the subpar perfomance so they must come out and impress the voters or they risk to fall further in the rankings. For a team with National Title aspirations, struggling again simply cannot happen.

This week Dan Lanning and Dante Moore must make a statement and going up against a team who looked horrendous lst week in Oklahoma State. Oklahoma State last week let up over 350 yards of offense with 227 of those coming through the air from a less than stellar Tulsa team.

LJ Martin o104.5 Rushing Yards -115 on Lucky Rebel

LJ Martin and BYU face the Yellow Jackets in the Pop-Tarts Bowl in Orlando on Saturday - Georgia Tech BYU Picks

 

I touched on LJ Martin in my preseason top 5 Big 12 players article expecting him to be one of the key players on a BYU team that is looking for a Big 12 crown and playoff berth. Last week was quiet for him only having seven rush attempts for 54 yards.

But he did not need to do much last week as BYU blewout Utah Tech 63-7. This week is much different though as BYU faces off against Arizona.

I expect LJ Martin to play a much bigger role this week and be the engine behind that dangerous cougar offense as BYU tries to secure their second victory of the season.

Mike Matthews o59.5 Receiving Yards -114 on Lucky Rebel

Mike Matthews was the favorite target for Freshman Tennesse QB Faizon Brandon. Totaling 4 catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns, Matthews had a fantastic week against Furman.

But this week they have a definite step up in competition as Tennesse faces Georgia Tech who looks to bounce back after upset loss in week one against Colorado.

With Georgia Tech looking for a bit of vengence they will definitely be playing Tennesse hard, and for a Freshman QB that can be very tough to adjust to.

When young play callers are put in an adverse situation like Tennesse is in this week the coaches try everything they can to make the game easy and slower for said player. Take Julian Sayin last year against Texas. The coaches will try to scheme easy reads for Faizon and to some of his most reliable targets as well I.e Mike Matthews.

Devin McCuin o46.5 Receiving yards -114 on Lucky Rebel

Oh here comes Pham betting on Ohio State… blah blah blah. A good bet is a good bet.

Last week was an introducting of the transfer WR Devin McCuin to Ohio State fans but this week is his introduction to the nation. With a lot of the deserved attention going to Jeremiah Smith a lot of things will open up for McCuin in this upcoming top five matchup against Texas.

The rapport between Julian Sayin and McCuin was a highlight for me last weekend catching 6 of 7 targets for 97 yards and a touchdown. McCuin showed a great catch radius and the ability to make a defender miss when he had the chance in space.

With Jeremiah Smith more than likely getting doubled team from Texas for the majority of this upcoming game I expect McCuin to the benefactor of that attention, or lack there of.

Also, as always. O-H! 🙂
