Welcome to college football Week 2.
Remember, it is a marathon, not a sprint. No matter what happens today, there is still a long way to go.
Action Network has identified sharp action coming in on three games in the early slate, including Duke vs. Northwestern, Arkansas State vs. Ohio State and South Carolina vs. Arkansas.
Let’s take a look at what the sharps are picking for Saturday’s noon ET kickoff games.
College Football Picks for Week 2
*College football odds as of Saturday Morning
Duke vs. Northwestern Pick
12 p.m. ET | FS1
A battle of the nerds. Sorry, Darren Rovell.
These two schools have actually seen a lot of each other over the years despite not playing in the same conference. This will be their 10th meeting since 2001.
Sharps have been hammering this line ever since it opened, and all of the action has gone in the direction of Northwestern.
The spread opened at Northwestern -8.5, and has been as high as 10.5, as money and tickets continue to roll in on the Wildcats.
The pick: Northwestern -10

Arkansas State vs. Ohio State Pick
12 p.m. ET | BTN
Ohio State is looking to get things rolling offensively after a less-than-stellar performance against Notre Dame in Week 1.
Arkansas State should be a great opponent to find some things on offense for the Buckeyes.
But sharps are not expecting this game to turn into a shootout. We have tracked sharp action coming in on under 68.5.
The under is currently getting 47% of the tickets and 85% of the money.
The pick: Under 68.5

South Carolina vs. Arkansas Pick
12 p.m. ET | ESPN
This is one of the marquee matchups of the day as two SEC programs on the rise go head-to-head.
Arkansas opened as a 7.5-point favorite and that spread has risen throughout the week. The Razorbacks are currently 9-point favorites.
There doesn’t appear to be a side that the sharps have settled on, but they have taken a liking toward the total.
We have tracked sharp action coming in on the under in this game.
The pick: Under 53
