Week 1 2020: #CFB Picks from Phil Steele!

You know college football is officially back when Phil Steele puts out his first Phil Steele Plus weekly tour. It is a light schedule this week but he had three-ish picks for you this week. The gist of the video is showing you how to handicap using his Phil Steele Plus data (including NFL games), so check it out to see how Phil’s process works as well as his full analysis on each game. The video is always worth a full watch each week.

Week 1 2020:

UAB-19.5 vs Central Arkansas
North Texas over Houston Baptist (there is no line posted right now, but he seemed to indicate he would lay the points if it gets posted)
SMU-22 vs Texas State (he didn’t specify a line, but it is 22 almost everywhere)
