Welcome to Sunday Morning Coffee. Let this column serve as a your first look at the projected point spreads for Week 2's college football matchups.
When the real lines come out later on Sunday, I'll compare my power-rated spreads to what oddsmakers posted to find betting value.

Week 2 Point Spread Projections
Situational Edges I'm Eyeing
- Ball State is healthy and its offense looked great in Week 1. The Cardinals should be a big underdog against Notre Dame. The Irish are in a hangover spot off a huge victory against Michigan.
- Appalachian State, North Carolina, UMass, and Cincinnati all have back-to-back travel in Week 2
- Bowling Green covered Pinnacle's closing line against Oregon, and returns home to catch a Maryland team off a Texas upset
A Few Other Week 2 Notes
- Kentucky has lost 31 straight to Florida straight up, including last year's one-point loss
- QB Nick Fitzgerald returns for Mississippi State after being suspended for the opener. Our metrics suggest the Bulldogs should be double-digit favorites when they travel to Kansas State.
