college football betting picks for week 2 Kansas vs Coastal Carolina
Kansas (-4) should have enough talent to fend off Coastal Carolina after being upset last season

There wasn’t anything worth wagering on, but that all changes now. And we are ready with our college football betting picks for week 2.

The Touchback’s college football betting picks for week 2

Kansas (-4) vs Coastal Carolina

This line has actually moved to -7, but we were lucky enough to nab it at -4 on Monday. On the surface, even this may seem a little crazy. Especially considering that Coastal Carolina beat Kansas last season. However, Kansas improved under Les Miles as the season went on and they have talented players like Pooka Williams Jr. and Andrew Parchment. If you find the line under 7, take it, but avoid the game if the Jayhawks are favored by a touchdown or more.

Iowa State (-11) vs. Louisiana

The Ragin’ Cajuns were no joke in 2019, winning 11 games and keeping things close against Mississippi State in its season opener. Meanwhile, Iowa State needed three overtimes to sneak past Northern Iowa in its first game last year. However, this is a statement game for Iowa State and Brock Purdy who need a strong showing to start off 2020. Louisiana is good. However, Iowa State should be much better.

Georgia Tech (+12) vs. Florida State

Georgia Tech isn’t good. That being said, is Florida State that much better? Sure, there is a new coaching staff in place, but Mike Norvell hasn’t exactly hit the ground running. FSU has appeared listless for years and I’ll keep betting against them until they show me something.

Louisiana Tech (+18.5) vs. Baylor

Louisiana Tech is better than people give them credit for while Baylor is dealing with a coaching change. All signs point to this being a close-ish game making Tech good value here.

UTEP (42.5) vs. Texas

Texas has cleared a 42-point margin of victory only once in the past five seasons – a 2017 encounter against San Jose State. Meanwhile UTEP has lost 22 games over the past two seasons, but none by more than 40 points. The Miners should be able to hold on here.
