The College Football season has arrived! The first set of games will take place on Saturday.

The first week of College Football is always unknown. We have no idea how good or bad teams will be and how they will match up with other teams.

Oddsmakers have an idea, and those who follow the game closely should have an idea. Let’s take a look at our feature on NCAAF: What college football games you must bet on Saturday and what games to Avoid.

Let’s start with a trio of games to bet on Saturday.

What College Football Games You Must Bet on Saturday and What Games to Avoid in Week 1 | 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

Here are three of games that you need to bet on Saturday.

Navy Midshipmen vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish

NCAAF Odds: Navy +21; Notre Dame -21
Saturday, August 26, 2023 at 2:30 PM | NBC
Aviva Stadium, Dublin, Ireland

The hopes are high for the Fighting Irish. There are many reasons they should be. Sam Hartman is going to immediately give Notre Dame something they have not had in a long time.

They will be able to move the football down the field. But, the first game of the season – a long travel, and a good head coach that has a ton of time to prepare – the Navy. Look for the Midshipmen to have a great attack, keep the ball on the ground, and limit the big plays for the Irish.

Notre Dame is going to win this game, but the Midshipmen are going to cover the three-touchdown spread in this one.

Vanderbilt Commodores vs. Hawaii Rainbow Warriors

NCAAF Odds: Vanderbilt -17.5; Hawaii +17.5
Saturday, August 26, 2023 at 7:30 PM | ESPN Network
FirstBank Stadium, Nashville, TN

FirstBank Stadium in Nashville is ready to get the 2023 party started. This is a Vanderbilt team that has their eyes on a bowl game this season.

The Commodores were one of the worst defensive teams in all of College Football a season ago. They allowed 36 points per game. They also struggled to pass the football.

But look for those things to be improved, especially early, as the Commodores have four games they should win to open the season. You have to wonder about the headspace of the Hawaii Warriors coming into this game.

With the tragic fires in their state. Hawaii was a horrendous offensive team a season ago, and that will be the theme coming into this one. Vanderbilt wins this game by 3+ scores.

USC Trojans vs. San Jose State Spartans

NCAAF Odds: USC -30.5; San Jose State +30.5
Saturday, August 26, 2023 at 7:30 PM | ESPN Network
Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles, CA

San Jose State is likely going to end up having a pretty solid 2023 season. But, unfortunately, their schedule shows they are going up against a buzzsaw to start their year.

San Jose State is going to try to go toe to toe with them. The Spartans do not want to look outmatched. San Jose State would love to show the region they are to be taken seriously. But, in the end, the talent gap here is pretty strong.

USC is going to be really good this season. If the Trojans can figure out the defensive side of the ball, this team has a chance to win it all. Caleb Williams is back and ready to put up Heisman numbers.

Look for the Trojans to get to 50+ in this one. Bet USC -30.5 over San Jose State.

Now, here are a pair of games we suggest staying away from on Saturday.

San Diego State Aztecs vs. Ohio Bobcats

NCAAF Odds: San Diego State -2.5; Ohio +2.5
Saturday, August 26, 2023 at 7:00 PM | FS1
Snapdragon Stadium, San Diego, CA

Too close for comfort here. The Aztecs get the home-field advantage, but the Bobcats, out of the MAC conference, are going to want to grab an early season upset. Both teams are going to be disciplined and ready to do what makes them best.

This should be fun football and probably the most competitive game of the day. We are not touching it, with the thought it could easily go either way.

New Mexico State Aggies vs. UMass Minutemen

NCAAF Odds: New Mexico State -6.5; UMass +6.5
Saturday, August 26, 2023 at 7:00 PM | ESPN
Aggie Memorial Stadium, Las Cruces, NM

We have the Aggies on upset watch here. The Minutemen come to town and will be ready to push the football down the field. If New Mexico State is not ready, they will suffer a Week 1 loss.

The Aggies ran the football early and often a season ago but failed to be too successful in the passing game. As long as they do not try to overdo it, they should be fine, but too many long third downs will put this team in trouble. Be careful if you are betting on this game on Saturday!
