Week 2 2023 Mountain West Football: Best Bets

Week two of college football is here. We are 12-3 on picks for the year. Let’s see what action the Mountain West has for us this week.

Air Force @ Sam Houston State (+13.5, O/U 37.5)

Air Force heads to Houston to face the newest member of the FBS. Sam Houston State gets to face the triple option a week after a slog of game against BYU. The Bearkats could present a challenge to the Falcons, but Air Force looks to roll on.

Pick: Air Force -13.5

Tennessee Tech @ New Mexico (No Line)

New Mexico returns home for their one guaranteed win. Tennessee Tech meanwhiles comes to Albuquerque a week after throwing two pick sixes against Furman. The Lobos get a chance to show any improvements they have made.

Pick: New Mexico

Idaho State @ Utah State (NO LiNE)

Probably the best chance for an FCS upset this week in the Mountain West. Idaho State showed some promise against the defense of San Diego State. Meanwhile Utah State failed to take advantage of their opportunities against Iowa. Watch this game closely as we could see which way the season will go for the Aggies.

Pick: Idaho State

Eastern Washington @ Fresno State (No Line)

The Bulldogs are riding high after last week’s upset of Purdue. There will be no let up this week against the Eagles however. Expect the Bulldogs to continue to pile on as they stake their claim on top of the Mountain West.

Pick: Fresno State

UAlbany @ Hawai’i (NO LINE)

Hawai’i has shown fight these past two weeks against P5 schools. Now they get a chance to relax and breathe as they welcome the Great Danes to the Islands. Albany put a scare into Marshall last week and could present a challenge, but expect the Rainbow Warriors to win.

Pick: Hawai’i
