Early lines for every Group of 6 game on the Week 2 board

The biggest game on the Group of 6 calendar arrives Saturday when Memphis travels to Boise State as an 8.5-point underdog (6 PM CT, USA Network). The Tigers are 2-0 under Charles Huff. The Broncos are 0-1 after losing 34-27 at Oregon. Both teams need this one — Memphis for another road signature win, Boise State to avoid being 0-2. The total sits at 55.5.

Two more G6 matchups round out the headliners. South Florida visits Army in a 3.5-point spread (11 AM CT, CBSSN) — Brian Hartline's 41-transfer roster against Jeff Monken's triple option at West Point. And North Dakota State is a 5.5-point favorite at Air Force (9 PM CT, FS1) in what amounts to the Bison's first real road test at the FBS level.

All four Alabama programs are in action. UAB hosts UL Monroe as a 10.5-point favorite (2:30 PM CT, ESPN+) — the Blazers' home opener after falling at Illinois. Jacksonville State travels to Ohio as a 2.5-point underdog (5 PM CT, ESPN+), a coin-flip game that could validate the Gamecocks' bounce-back from the NDSU loss. South Alabama is a 10.5-point underdog at Tulane (6 PM CT, ESPN+), and Troy hosts Alabama State in a non-FBS game with no line posted (3 PM CT, ESPN+).
