2023 College Football Week 1 ATS Picks | MyBookie Regular Season Betting Preview

2023 NCAA Division I FBS football season | 154th season of college football in the United States
NCAAF Week 1: August 26th – September 4th, 2023

 

Florida Gators at 14 Utah Utes

NCAAF Odds: Florida +4.5; Utah -4.5
Thursday, August 31st, 2023 at 8:00 pm | ESPN
Rice-Eccles Stadium, Salt Lake City, UT

This season, Billy Napier continues Florida’s rebuild, which means the Gators should struggle against a solid Utah side.

The Utes will be looking to win the Pac-12’s final football championship before heading to the Big 12 next season. Although Florida is an SEC squad, Utah want to get off to a fast start. Without Anthony Richardson, it’s tough seeing Florida keeping up with Utah’s offense. Utes cover.

Virginia Cavaliers at 12 Tennessee Volunteers

NCAAF Odds: Virginia +27; Tennessee -28
Saturday, September 2nd, 2023 at 12:00 pm | ABC
Nissan Stadium, Nashville, TN

Virginia starts 5 new players on offense including quarterback Tony Muskett who transferred from Monmouth. Muskett’s first foray into Division 1 football won’t be easy because Tennessee is loaded.

The Volunteers return enough on offense and defense and start one of the top quarterbacks in the SEC in Joe Milton III to challenge Georgia for the SEC East title. Any squad that can challenge the Dawgs should dominate a team like UVA.

Colorado Buffalos at 17 TCU Horned Frogs

NCAAF Odds: Colorado +20.5; TCU -20.5
Saturday, September 2nd, 2023 at 12:00 pm | FOX
Nissan Stadium, Nashville, TN

Deion Sanders overhauled Colorado‘s roster. Although Sanders will get the most out of his players, it’s going to be difficult to keep it close against a better than they look on paper TCU squad.

Sonny Dykes will ensure the offense rocks. But that’s not the reason to back the Frogs to cover. TCU returns 8 players from a defense that was good enough to contain Michigan in the CFP Semifinal win. Horned Frogs roll.

3 Ohio State Buckeyes at Indiana Hoosiers

NCAAF Odds: Ohio State -30; Indiana +30
Saturday, September 2nd, 2023 at 3:30 pm | FOX
Memorial Stadium, Bloomington, IN

This game won’t answer the question whether Ohio State is good enough to win the College Football Playoff.

Against Indiana, OSU is going to look like the best team in the country. Indiana doesn’t have the players to keep up. The Hoosiers also start freshman Tayven Jackson at quarterback. Buckeyes cover.

West Virginia Mountaineers at 7 Penn State Nittany Lions

NCAAF Odds: West Virginia +20.5; Penn State -20.5
Saturday, September 2nd, 2023 at 7:30 pm | NBC
Beaver Stadium, University Park, PA

Buzz keeps building around Penn State. The Nittany Lions face a down on their luck West Virginia squad. Since this happens at Happy Valley, Lions cover.

South Alabama Jaguars at 24 Tulane Green Wave

NCAAF Odds: South Alabama +6.5; Tulane -6.5
Saturday, September 2nd, 2023 at 7:30 pm | NBC
Beaver Stadium, University Park, PA

This won’t be a walk in the park for the Green Wave because South Alabama return talent and experience on both sides of the ball.

But Tulane has a legit Heisman Trophy contender at quarterback in senior Michael Pratt. Even if the Tulane defense struggles, Pratt and the offense will score enough for the win and cover.

5 LSU Fighting Tigers at 8 Florida State Seminoles

NCAAF Odds: LSU Fighting -2.5; Florida State +2.5
Sunday, September 3rd, 2023 at 7:30 pm | ABC
Camping World Stadium, Orlando, FL

NCAAF Week 1’s top matchup pits the Florida State Seminoles against the LSU Fighting Tigers. No matter which team wins this game, both teams could end up in the College Football Playoff.

That’s how deep both teams are. It’s tough to go against Florida State since this happens in Tallahassee. But this is Brian Kelly’s second season and LSU will have the best overall player in the game in linebacker Harold Perkins Jr. LSU sneaks by FSU with a 3-point victory.

College Football Week 1 ATS Pick: LSU -2.5 | Bet Florida State vs. LSU
