Our Week 1 weekday picks went 1-1. Utah covered on the road in their rivalry game against BYU. UCLA showed in week 1 that they still look like UCLA. Woof.
Houston (+23) at Oklahoma
This play is totally based on Jalen Hurts. The Sooners head coach Lincoln Riley has shown that you can plug different type of quarterbacks into his system and they can thrive.
Has Hurts grasped enough of the offense to put up big numbers in week 1?
Pick: Houston +23
Notre Dame (-19) at Louisville (Monday)
This game sets up nicely for Louisville. They get Notre Dame at home on a Monday night.
The question with the Irish will be with the running game. How will they replace Dexter Williams?
Notre Dame will win but this game sets up for a backdoor cover for the Cardinals.
Pick: Louisville +19
Other picks:
Coastal Carolina +6 over Eastern Michigan
East Carolina +17 at NC State
USC -13.5 over Fresno State
