PRO Projections closed out the college football weekend with a big win on TCU (projected -6.9 favorite). The Horned Frogs easily covered the spread in Monday's rout of UNC.
Meanwhile, college football Week 2 odds from advanced projections are out! The early pick to lock in for Saturday's college football Week 2 card using Action PRO models is a Virginia vs NC State spread prediction.
PRO Projections are helpful because our odds give bettors a clearer gauge of what the fair line should be.
The Virginia vs NC State spread Saturday is one of the biggest disagreements from Action PRO models for early Week 2 odds.
Let's dive into a data-fueled edge for college football Week 2, which involves a betting line lying on a key number.
College Football Lines, Picks Week 2: Virginia vs NC State Spread Prediction
To refresh, PRO Projections evaluate each pick by assigning a grade; the greater the discrepancy between our odds and the markets, the more confident the prediction.
We employ a simple grading scale (such as A, B, and C) to indicate the level of conviction.
Anything better than a 'B' grade earns a green light from PRO Projections to bet – and the Cavaliers vs. Wolfpack clash meets the threshold for a play.
Saturday's Virginia vs. NC State line is NC State -2.5.
Projections signaled a huge edge in Week 2, backing the NC State Wolfpack to cover.
Our power ratings make the line more like NC State -4.6 – a huge edge, given the cushion past key numbers like -3 and -4.
The Wolfpack won last weekend, but didn't cover against ECU. Virginia, meanwhile, thumped Coastal Carolina.
Using our odds, betting NC State to cover the number in Week 2 is a smart bet, and a cheap price on the favorites.
