College Football 2019: 5 bold predictions for Week 2 action

After a less than eventful Week 1, we head into Week 2 hoping for a more exciting college football slate. Let’s talk bold predictions.

There was only one ranked matchup in Week 1 and while it lived up to the billing, it left many wanting more of the greatness that is college football. Well, that is exactly what is coming your way in Week 2 with two big-time matchups and a bunch of other exciting matchups lined up as well.

On that note, let’s talk bold predictions for Week 2 of the season, starting with a team that absolutely dominated Week 1.

5. Maryland knocks No. 22 Syracuse out of the rankings

Maryland played Howard to open the season, a game that were obviously expected to win. However, they didn’t just win, they dominated 79-0. They won every battle and did everything they were supposed to do to win this one and it showed in the final score and in how the nation is now looking at the Terps.

Meanwhile, Syracuse matched up against Hugh Freeze’s Liberty team which was all over the media for another reason, but that is a different conversation. They won, but only 24-0. I know I’m not the only one that expected more from the Orange than what was shown.

Yes, the Syracuse defense is good and I acknowledge that but the Maryland offense is on fire and I don’t see Syracuse being able to douse that flame long enough to win this one. Look for the Terps to win this one and likely knock the Orange out of the rankings and maybe even find a way into the AP Top 25 themselves.
