The first week of the college football schedule is usually pretty tame. Due to the nature of the sport, non-conference schedules have to be made years in advance, which prevents schools from creating competitive matchups right out of the gate. Some programs also want to ease into the season to build confidence with younger players.

Here’s a look at games worth betting for College Football Week 1.

2023 NCAA Division I Week 1 | August 26, 2023–September 4th, 2023

LSU Tigers (-3) vs. Florida State Seminoles

Camping World Stadium, Orlando, FL
Sunday, September 3, 2023

The Tigers and Seminoles will look to recreate their 2022 classic that opened the season. During Brian Kelly’s first game as LSU coach, the Tigers put together a 90-plus yard drive in the waning seconds and scored as time expired. However, LSU would miss at extra point to end the game and lose by one point.

The Tigers will return Jayden Daniels at quarterback, while the Seminoles will bring back quarterback Jordan Travis. Both teams had bounce-back years last season and will be in search of a big early season resume builder as they attempt to make a run at the College Football Playoff.

Coastal Carolina Chanticleers at UCLA Bruins

Rose Bowl, Pasadena, CA
Saturday, September 2, 2023

The Chanticleers will likely be underdogs on the road for this one. However, Coastal Carolina will return quarterback Grayson McCall and should have a puncher’s chance of winning with him on board. McCall is 29-4 as a starter with the Chanticleers and passed for 2,700 yards with 24 touchdowns and only two interceptions last season.

The Bruins will have a new quarterback taking over in Dante Moore. UCLA coach Chip Kelly likes to run a fast offense, and Moore will have to catch up quickly. Coastal Carolina may be catching UCLA at the right time.

Florida Gators at Utah Utes (-10)

Rice-Eccles Stadium, Salt Lake City, UT
Thursday, August 31, 2023

The Gators started coach Billy Napier’s time with the program the right way, scoring a 29-26 win in the Swamp over No. 7 Utah to open last season. However, things soured quickly for Florida. The Gators would lose their last three games of the season to finish with a 6-7 record.

Florida now has to replace Anthony Richardson, who was a top-10 pick in the NFL draft, at quarterback. The Gators quarterback battle is down to a competition between Graham Mertz or Jack Miller III. Utah had a great season last year, winning the Pac-12 for the second straight season, but saw star quarterback Cam Rising tear his ACL in the Rose Bowl. Rising is expected to come back this season, but may need some time to settle back in.

Colorado Buffaloes at TCU Horned Frogs (-19)

TCU is coming off the greatest season in the modern history of the program. The Horned Frogs won’t return star quarterback Max Duggan, but will bring back plenty of players from last season’s team. TCU will be going against one of the most hyped teams in the nation right off the bat.

Colorado’s hype is mostly surrounded by hiring coach Deion Sanders. When Sanders chose to leave Jackson State for Colorado, he will be bringing several of his top players with him. Deion’s son, Shadedur, will play at quarterback. This is a game where TCU may be eager to quickly tamp down any enthusiasm that Sander’s hiring brough to the program.
