Saturday CFB FREE PICK
NCAAF YTD 0-0 (0%) ($0) East Carolina +21.5 -110 (sportsbook) risking $110 to win $100 Revenge is on the minds of ECU as they should be excited for this trip to "The Swamp," after it's painful loss 28-20 in last year's Birmingham Bowl to UF.

Week 2 in CFB is here and in this week I like to find games where the market has overreacted to what [...]
