Big Ten Predictions, Odds & Best Bets Week 2
While Texas and Michigan are duking it out with a chance to bolster their college football championship odds, there will be Big Ten playmakers elsewhere thriving as part of our Week 2 college football predictions.
This week's Big Ten predictions focus on three offensive players with favorable matchups and odds from our best college football betting sites.
Though Washington likely won't be in the College Football Playoff odds hunt this year, one of its new additions is bound to run wild in Week 2.
It's a similar story for Illinois, as the Illini take on an AP top-25 team in Kansas - a matchup we featured in our Week 2 college football expert picks.
Meanwhile, Ohio State may have several Heisman Trophy odds contenders, but it's the Buckeyes' youngest player making the most noise.

Best Big Ten predictions this week
College football picks made Friday; odds subject to change.
Jonah Coleman Over 100.5 rushing yards (-115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Jedd Fisch brought Jonah Coleman with him from Arizona and it's already paying off for Washington.
Coleman, who led the country in yards after contact per carry last season (5.09), ran for 127 yards in his Huskies debut last week. He forced an absurd 10 missed tackles, per PFF, with 90 of his yards coming after contact.
Eastern Michigan will have its hands full trying to slow Coleman this week. The Eagles were 117th in EPA per rush on defense last season and don't look much better this year after allowing 152 rushing yards to lowly UMass in Week 1.
If Coleman tops 100 rushing yards, a $10 bet pays an $8.70 profit.
Best odds: -115 via bet365 | Implied probability: 53.49%

Kaden Feagin 80+ rushing yards (+120) ⭐⭐⭐
The Big Ten is full of physically imposing running backs, but none are bigger than Kaden Feagin.
The buzz out of Champaign has been palpable with Bret Bielema hyping up Feagin for what feels like three years.
Well, we saw why in Week 1 with the 6-foot-3, 250-pound Feagin running for 108 yards and ripping off two 15-plus-yard gains.
He's clearly the focal point of the offense, and Kansas will have a tough time slowing him down. The Jayhawks were 127th in EPA per rush on defense last season and allowed 167.1 yards per game.
Feagin should see enough work to go for at least 80, turning a $10 bet into a $12 profit.
Best odds: +120 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 45.45%

Jeremiah Smith Over 61.5 receiving yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
It took only one game for Jeremiah Smith to show why he was the No. 1 recruit in the country.
Not only did Smith look like a Marvin Harrison Jr. clone in Week 1 against Akron, but it's clear the Buckeyes want to get him involved as much as possible. He led the team in targets (eight), receptions (catches), and yards (92).
Averaging a stellar 3.54 yards per route run last week, he should once again see plenty of work against a MAC foe. Western Michigan was 91st in EPA per pass on defense last season and gave up the second-most passing yards per game in the MAC (234.6).
If Smith clears 61.5 receiving yards for the second straight week, a $10 bet pays an $8.77 profit.
Best odds: -114 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 53.27%
