There are 31 college football teams which might be 2-0 ATS within the first two weeks, but just six of these programs have covered as an underdog in both games. Let us take a look at those underrated sides and grade their possible value on ATS heat meter:Louisiana Tech Bulldogs (1-1 SU, 2-0 ATS)The Bulldogs backdoored bettors by outscoring Oklahoma 13-7 within the fourth quarter after the sport was long over in Week 1’s loss to the Sooners. They were big underdogs in Week 2 against Louisiana-Lafayette but won out right by 28 points.
Next Game: at North Texas (-3.5) Thursday
The Bulldogs are 16-6 ATS of their last 22 road games but just 6-13 of their last 19 games overall. North Texas is 8-1 ATS in its last nine home games. The Mean Green got rocked by 31 points at Texas after which rotated and destroyed SMU by 37. Neither of those teams has shown any form of consistency through two weeks.
ATS heat meter: Mild
Hawaii Warriors (0-2 SU, 2-0 ATS)
Hawaii has two close losses to Pac-12 opponents. The soldiers played Washington close throughout and scored the one points of the second one half in Week 1. They rallied furiously within the fourth quarter and covered the spread with just 1:35 left within the game versus Oregon State in Week 2.
Next game: vs. Northern Iowa (-5) Saturday
Northern Iowa’s only game was a detailed loss to in-state rival Iowa. Travel will factor into the sport because the Panthers have a 15-hour trip and the sport also kicks off at 6 p.m. local time/midnight ET (which might be 11 p.m. in Iowa).
ATS heat meter: Hot
Texas-San Antonio Road Runners (1-1 SU, 2-0 ATS)
The Roadrunners beat Houston outright after which hung with Arizona throughout their game and scored in the midst of the fourth quarter to hide the spread.
Next Game: at Oklahoma State (+15) Saturday
The Roadrunners are 4-0 ATS of their last four overall games, 9-1 of their last 10 non-conference games and 8-1 of their last nine road games. The last time they suffered a double-digit loss was to Marshall last season but that very same UTSA team also lost to Arizona by 25.ATS heat meter: Sriracha
UAB Blazers (1-1 SU, 2-0 ATS)
The Blazers beat Troy big in week one after which hung around Mississippi State for almost all in their game. Alabama-Birmingham can post points, ranked 31st within the nation (41 ppg), which always gives a team chances to covering.Next game: vs. Alabama A&M (-36) Saturday
This is rather a big spread for a team like UAB but they did beat their only 2013 FCS opponent by 24 and seem to be rather a lot better this season under first-year head coach Bill Clark.
ATS heat meter: Jalapeno
New Mexico State Aggies/UTEP Miners (2-0 SU, 2-0 ATS/1-1 SU, 2-0 ATS)
These two 2-0 ATS programs meet on Saturday. New Mexico State beat Cal-Poly with an effective performance in Week 1 after which scored with 15 seconds left to overcome (and canopy) against Georgia State the next game. UTEP jumped on New Mexico early and hung on late after which they went wire-to-wire with Texas Tech.Next game: UTEP -11 Saturday
UTEP was the more dependable team up to now and so they have playmakers in Aaron Jones and Jameill Showers.
