Florida Atlantic at Oklahoma (-24)
The Oklahoma Sooners might have the big name in this contest and they might be playing at home, but they’ll have a first time starter under center thanks to the graduation of quarterback Baker Mayfield, the top pick in this year’s NFL Draft. Not only that, but Florida Atlantic had a fantastic 2017 campaign in going 11-3 last season under polarizing head coach Lane Kiffin. The Owls put up a whopping 40.6 points per game to rank eighth in scoring nationally and I believe they’re a lock to cover the chalk as three touchdown-plus road dogs. I’m expecting a shootout college football betting buffs, so don’t expect to see much defense being played in this opener. Score Prediction: Florida Atlantic 38 – Oklahoma 45Michigan (-1.5) at Notre Dame
Jim Harbaugh and Brian Kelly will both be desperate to get their 2018 campaigns off to a positive start, but I like the Wolverines to get the huge road win seeing as how they’ve finally got a ‘real’ quarterback in former Ole Miss star, Shea Patterson. Notre Dame could have a first-time starter under center in 2018 and that just doesn’t bode very well for a Michigan team that is loaded on both sides of the ball and one that has been a perennial powerhouse defensively under Harbaugh. I know this regular season opener is more meaningful for the Fighting Irish squad that doesn’t have a conference title they will play for, but I’m going with Michigan to cover the chalk because of Harbaugh and the Wolverines’ stout defense. Score Prediction: Michigan 27 – Notre Dame 21Washington at Auburn (-3)
If you don’t know by now, I’m really high on Washington heading into the 2018 regular season for a couple of reasons. First, the Huskies have not one, but two, legitimate Heisman Trophy candidates in quarterback Jake Browning and running back Myles Gaskin.![Auburn is favorite against Washington in the 2018 NCAA Football Week 1.](https://cdn.mybookie.ag/wp-content/uploads/Auburn5-1.jpg)
