Texas vs. Michigan is the game of the day.

The weather is important for a Texas vs. Michigan prediction.
According to the Windy Unders PRO System, college football games with winds blowing at 13-34 mph hit the under on the betting total 58% of the time, from a sizable sample size of over 1,000 bets. The wind’s direction does not influence this outcome within the system. Lower scoring is often observed under high-wind speeds, likely because of difficulties in kicking and passing accuracy.
Ann Arbor weather on Saturday for Week 2 shows 13 mph winds for Texas vs. Michigan — perfect for an under bet.

South Carolina is a match for our “Road Dog, Low Totals” PRO System. This strategy advocates for betting on road underdogs in conference games when they’re favored by +7 or more and the over/under is 48 or lower. The parameters are perfect for the Gamecocks.
PRO System Pick: South Carolina to Cover the Spread
Mississippi State vs. Arizona State Spread Pick

Mississippi State to cover +5.5 is PRO Projections’ best bet in Week 2 — of any spread.
We make the line more like ASU -2.8. Therefore, bettors grabbing the ‘dog get key numbers of +3 and +4.
It’s a Grade-A selection from our models to round out SEC predictions in Week 2.
