Thor Nystrom’s Best College Football Week 2 Bets (2022)
Here’s an early look at College Football Week 2 spreads, along with my projections. Below you can find my best bets of the week.
In the box below are my adjusted spreads for this weekend’s games. ATL stands for “Adjusted Thor Line†and ATT stands for “Adjusted Thor Total.†Spreads are from the perspective of the home team, i.e. a negative number indicates the home team is favored. In the value column, a negative number indicates points of value on the spread for the home team, while a positive number indicates points value on the away team. Similarly, in the totals value column, a negative number indicates points of line value on the over, while a positive number indicates points of line value on the under.
