NCAA Football Odds, Picks and Predictions: Sure Winners in Week 1

NCAA Football Odds, Picks and Predictions: Sure Winners in Week 1

Deion Sanders continues to have a seismic effect on college football – including the sports betting world. He’s transformed the roster of the Colorado Buffaloes through an almost top-to-bottom use of the transfer portal, and the Buffaloes are now a 500-1 longshot to win the national championship. The Buffs have picked up more wagers to win it all than four of the top-ten ranked teams in the nation and Texas, the favorite to win the Big 12, according NCAA Football Odds. At Xbet.ag, more money has been placed on Colorado to win the national championship than Ohio State, and more money has gone to pick Colorado to go “over” their win total of 3 ½ games than any other team’s over. The Buffaloes have 100-1 odds to win the Pac-12 in its last year, and a lot of money is going in that direction as well. Can the Buffs pull it off? We don’t know yet, but we do have some solid NCAAF picks from Week 1 of the 2023 college football campaign.

 

NCAA Football Odds: Sure Week 1 Winners | Bet College Football Betting Lines

 

Florida Gators at #14 Utah Utes

NCAAF Lines: Florida at #14 Utah (-7)
When: Thursday, September 1, 2023, 9:00 pm ET
Where: Rice-Eccles Stadium, Salt Lake City, UT
TV/Live Stream: ESPN

Utah still has not settled on a starting quarterback for the season, but the Utes have gone 21-1 straight up and 14-8 against the spread in their home games over the last four seasons. Florida beat Utah at home last year, but now the Gators go on the road into a raucous environment. Graham Mertz has transferred in from Wisconsin, where he struggled with ball security. How will he deal with the pressure? Utah to win and cover.

Virginia Cavaliers vs #12 Tennessee Volunteers

NCAAF Lines: Virginia (+28) vs #12 Tennessee
When: Saturday, September 3, 2023, 12:00 pm ET
Where: Nissan Stadium, Nashville, TN
TV/Live Stream: ABC

Virginia went 3-7 in 2022 and now have a new quarterback as Tony Muskett transferred in from Monmouth. The Cavaliers’ offense was not productive in 2022, averaging only 17 points per game. Tennessee comes in with high expectations after beating Alabama last year, and they have cannon-armed Joe Milton at quarterback. A four-touchdown spread? Even though this game is not in Knoxville, there will be plenty of bright orange everywhere. Tennessee to win and cover.

Colorado Buffaloes at #17 TCU Horned Frogs

NCAAF Lines: Colorado (+21) at #17 TCU
When: Saturday, September 3, 2023, 12:00 pm ET
Where: Amon G. Carter Stadium, Fort Worth, TX
TV/Live Stream: FOX

TCU has a new quarterback in Chandler Morris, and eight of their key contributors from last year’s Big 12 runner-up campaign have gone to the NFL. The Buffaloes bring in all kinds of change, as we’ve mentioned, and quarterback Shedeur Sanders comes in with plenty to prove and plenty of talent around him. I see the Buffaloes pulling off the road upset straight up, but I can also see those who think Colorado might fade late. Colorado to cover.

Utah State Aggies at #25 Iowa Hawkeyes

NCAAF Lines: Utah State (+25.5) at #25 Iowa
When: Saturday, September 3, 2023, 12:00 pm ET
Where: Kinnick Stadium, Iowa City, IA
TV/Live Stream: FS1

Just getting to 26 points is enough of a challenge for Iowa on a weekly basis. The Hawkeyes have covered against the spread seven times in their last 14 games as home favorites. Iowa quarterback Cade McNamara is recovering from a leg injury, and while the Hawkeye defense is elite, this spread is just too big. Utah State to cover.

#21 North Carolina Tar Heels vs South Carolina Gamecocks

NCAAF Lines: #21 North Carolina (-2.5) vs South Carolina
When: Saturday, September 3, 2023, 7:30 pm ET
Where: Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, NC
TV/Live Stream: ABC

Drake Maye and Spencer Rattler should produce a nice quarterback duel in prime time. North Carolina fell off the table in November last season, while South Carolina beat Kentucky, Texas A&M, Tennessee (by 25) and Clemson last year. The Gamecocks have won four of their last five meetings against the Tar Heels as well. South Carolina to cover (and win straight up).
