Our expert college football projections were spot on with their best bet last week to open the season. Stanford managed to cover the spread as an underdog and nearly won outright against a line PRO Projections evaluated to be lower than the market.
Stacking up our odds for NCAAF Week 2 predictions, the biggest disagreement and best bet to consider is Mississippi State vs. Arizona State.
Both teams enter Week 2 fresh off nearly identical scenarios. They both covered the spread in high-scoring tilts, which makes Saturday night’s non-conference showdown even more intriguing.
Scanning expert projections, we found we are nearly four points off from the betting market’s spread for the Mississippi State vs. Arizona State game.
Also, the disagreement is significant, especially since it revolves around key numbers.

Arizona State is laying a touchdown at Sun Devil Stadium for the second straight week. The Sun Devils pummeled Wyoming to open the campaign.
However, this time around, projections are essentially betting on Arizona State to prove the betting markets wrong. In our expert opinion, the fair line for this game should be more along the lines of Arizona State -2.8. This projection is much lower than the current market line, making a compelling underdog pick for Mississippi State.
From the perspective of Mississippi State bettors, the +6.5 line becomes even more valuable. They would stand to benefit from crucial key numbers like +3, +4 and +6 – all of which could be game-changers in a tightly contested matchup.
Given these considerations, it’s clear why this game received an A+ grade from our projections for Week 2.
PRO Projections Pick: Mississippi State +6.5
