Week 2 Locks are here. Bob, Matt and Chef make their picks across the Big 12 and national slate, including Mizzou-Kansas, Texas-Ohio State, Oklahoma-Michigan and BYU-Arizona, plus this week’s Sicko Games and a Dylan Edwards rushing-yard side prop. Matt also begins his quest to recover from an 0-5 week 1 after starting 3-0 in week 0.

I would make this materially shorter:

Spokesman-Review Washington State beat writer and K-State alum Greg Woods joins the show to preview K-State vs. Wazzu in Manhattan. Greg breaks down Washington State’s dangerous pass rush, offensive struggles, Tony Freeman’s injury, the matchup with Avery Johnson and the biggest paths to an upset before giving his score prediction.
