Summary

  • Missouri -5.5, Michigan +5.5 and Oklahoma State +23.5 headline McMurphy’s Week 2 college football picks, with his card centered on fading sharp public swings after opening-week results.
  • Michigan’s line flipped from Wolverines -2.5 to Sooners -5.5 after Oklahoma’s 51-0 win over UTEP and Michigan’s shaky opener, while Oklahoma State still gets support to cover despite losing at Tulsa.
  • McMurphy also backed Army -3.5 against South Florida, citing Army’s 569 rushing yards and USF’s misleading 19-9 win over FIU despite being outgained by 173 yards.
  • His totals plays were Pitt-UCF over 55.5, Alabama-Kentucky over 48.5 and Navy-FAU over 55.5, while Memphis +8.5, FIU -10.5, Sam Houston +13.5 and Georgia Tech +12.5 rounded out the slate.
  • After a 6-6 week, McMurphy’s season record stands at 8-10 as Week 2 revives attention on on-field matchups over off-field legal and administrative drama.
