A frequent guest on national radio and TV shows to discuss college sports, Casale has been betting -- and winning -- for more than 30 years. After opening this season 3-2, he's now on a 16-8 roll in his SportsLine best bets column dating back to last season!
Now, he's turned his attention to the 2025 Week 2 college football odds (see the latest college football lines for each game this week on our college football odds page) and is revealing his top plays.
For Week 2, Casale is backing Kansas State (-17) against Army. "This version of the Army option attack isn't nearly as potent and we saw that in Week 1 when Tarleton State held the Black Knights to 5.0 yards per play. I expect Kansas State's defense to dominate this game and cover the big spread at home."
