Top 3 Early Week 2 NCAAF Values: Alabama, Iowa, and FAU

Alabama Crimson Tide -13.5 vs. Texas Longhorns (Saturday, 12:00 pm ET)

The Alabama Crimson Tide are a -13.5 point favorite over the Texas Longhorns in their Week 2 matchup. Alabama is coming off a dominant 55-0 win over Utah State in their season opener, while Texas lost their opener to the Maryland Terrapins 51-41.

The Crimson Tide are a perennial powerhouse, and they have one of the best defenses in the country. They are led by Will Anderson Jr., who is considered to be the best pass rusher in the country. The Longhorns have a lot of talent on offense, but they will need to play a perfect game to have a chance to beat Alabama.

The spread in this game is a bit inflated, and I think Alabama is a good value as a -13.5 point favorite. The Crimson Tide are the much better team, and I expect them to win by at least two touchdowns.

Iowa Hawkeyes -20.5 vs. Iowa State Cyclones (Saturday, 4:00 pm ET)

The Iowa Hawkeyes are a -20.5 point favorite over the Iowa State Cyclones in their Week 2 matchup. Iowa is coming off a 7-3 win over the South Dakota State Jackrabbits in their season opener, while Iowa State lost their opener to the Northern Iowa Panthers 23-21.

The Hawkeyes are a tough, physical team that is always well-prepared. They are led by quarterback Spencer Petras, who is a game manager more than anything else. The Cyclones have a lot of talent on offense, but they will need to play a perfect game to have a chance to beat Iowa.

The spread in this game is a bit inflated, and I think Iowa is a good value as a -20.5 point favorite. The Hawkeyes are the much better team, and I expect them to win by at least three touchdowns.

FAU Owls +22 vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers (Saturday, 7:30 pm ET)

The FAU Owls are a +22 point underdog against the Nebraska Cornhuskers in their Week 2 matchup. FAU is coming off a 38-26 win over the Charlotte 49ers in their season opener, while Nebraska lost their opener to the Northwestern Wildcats 31-28.

The Owls are a talented team, but they are facing a Nebraska team that is desperate for a win. The Cornhuskers have a lot of talent on offense, and they should be able to score points against the FAU defense.

The spread in this game is a bit inflated, and I think FAU is a good value as a +22 point underdog. The Owls are a good team, and I think they can keep this game close.
