It was a good week for The Wise Guy in Week 1 of College Football. I went 3-2 and +1.8 units since my lock of the week hit. My 2 losses were bad but the lock of the week was stone cold. Anyways, numbers never lie and you will always take +1.8 units when it comes to sports betting. Personally I’m ok with just breaking even but I want to make you all some money so here are my winners for week 2.

Appalachian State (-14.5) at Charlotte 6 P.M. 

App State nearly knocked off Pen State last week but came up just short. Now everyone is high on them which has inflated their value in the public’s eye and has therefore affected the spread. App State is probably better than Charlotte, but are they 14.5 points better than them in their own building? I don’t think so and I also expect a let down for them.

Pick: Charlotte +14.5

Air Force at FAU (-8) 2 P.M. 

FAU led by the infamous Lane Kiffin got blown out last week at Oklahoma. That’s ok though because Oklahoma is really freaking good and opening up your season there isn’t the best way to start. Now FAU is back at home against a mediocre opponent and they are poised to put up points like they always should have. Hate to bet against the troops in back to back weeks but it won last time so I might as well ride with my drunken pal Lane.

Pick: FAU -8

Lock of the Week 

Georgia (-10) at South Carolina 3:30 P.M. 2 Units

Both of these teams crushed their opponent in the previous week and should be big players in the SEC this year. Georgia has stud sophomore QB Jake Fromm and they are coming off a National Championship appearance. That is exactly why they are a very public friendly play in one of the biggest games of the day. I do think Georgia should win this game but South Carolina is damn good this year and should cover 10 points at home with their defense. Go Cocks!

Pick: South Carolina +10

P.S. – Last week I forgot to put how many units I placed on the lock of the week. It was 2 units and will probably always be 2 units but I will start writing it in case i decide to go really heavy on one game.
