The opening week of the college football season can teach us a lot, but it can also be misleading. For example, Notre Dame was able to hold off Michigan, and we saw that the Fighting Irish turned out to be the real deal, as they made it all the way to the College Football Playoff. Florida State got taken apart by Virginia Tech, and the Seminoles showed that they were really that flawed all season long. Washington took a beating at the hands of Auburn, and they were just about the best the Pac-12 had to offer. We understood why none of the teams from that conference made the College Football Playoff. There will also be a lot of overreactions, such as if teams like Clemson and Alabama don’t deliver huge routs, but for the careful sports betting enthusiast, there are some opportunities to make money.
