Now he's studied the Week 2 college football schedule and used his Tech Corner technique to break down every matchup.

One thing we can tell you for Week 2: Marshall is backing Baylor (+7) to bounce back as a home underdog against No. 14 Utah in a noon ET kickoff on Saturday. 

"Utah is just 4-8 against the spread as a regular season visitor the past two seasons," Marshall said. "Also zero covers in last three season as regular season visitor outside of the conference. Baylor had covered its last five in Waco as a non-conference host dating back to the Matt Rhule era in 2019 prior to the Texas State shocker last week. Dave Aranda 9-4 in last 13 as underdog for Bears."

Marshall has evaluated every other matchup and he's found a critical 6-0 spread trend that gives a team the edge in one of the week's biggest matchups! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before making any college football picks.
