Using PRO Projections to Exploit College Football Spreads Saturday, Week 2
Now is the time to get in on projections, before the market can catch up to our power ratings.
For instance, you likely won’t find college football spreads three or four points off key numbers in the market come October – but in September, it’s plausible.
Here’s a great example: All four picks hover around -3 or -7.
Let’s analyze all four edges.
Texas vs. Michigan Spread Pick
The current betting spread has Texas as a 7-point favorite at the Big House for the game of the year so far.
However, according to PRO Projections, the line for this game should be closer a to Texas -4.6. As a result, we assign a B grade to Michigan to cover Saturday in Ann Arbor.

Pitt vs. Cincinnati Spread Pick
Next up is a Big 12 clash between Pitt and Cincinnati, which carries a betting spread favoring Cincinnati by 2.5 points.
However, our PRO Projections firmly disagree. Our models estimate that the correct line should be Cincinnati -4.8, bringing this game to a B+ grade.
It’s a cheap buy on the Bearcats to cover the number.

Colorado vs. Nebraska Spread Pick
It’s Colorado vs. Nebraska in Round 2!
Turning to Saturday’s showdown in Lincoln, the spread lists Colorado as 6.5-point favorites.
PRO Projections, however, calculate the line should be closer to -3.8 in favor of Colorado, thereby earning a B+ grade for Matt Rhule’s Cornhuskers to cover.
PRO Projections Pick: Nebraska to Cover the Spread
Mississippi State vs. Arizona State Spread Pick
Our top pick for Week 1 focuses on Mississippi State’s game against Arizona State.
The current spread has Arizona State favored by 5.5 points. Yet, PRO Projections suggest the line should be more like ASU -2.8. Consequently, this pick garners an A- grade for Saturday night’s prediction
