Louisville Cardinals vs Alabama Crimson Tide
This game will be played in Orlando and would have been a much bigger spectacle had it taken place last year. Lamar Jackson is out of Louisville and into the NFL, meaning that the Cardinals are probably ready to take a big step backward this season. Perhaps no real surprise then that Alabama is in as an early 25 ½ point favorite for this one. While this should be a game that the champions win handily, I am a little worried about the size of that spread. I am leaning towards taking the Cardinals to cover.Furman Paladins vs Clemson Tigers
There are no odds on the board for this one yet, but if and when the lines to go up, I imagine it will be a huge spread in favor of the Clemson Tigers. Clemson has won all 5 previous meetings against Furman, although the average margin of victory is perhaps not quite as high as you might imagine, with the Tigers winning by an average of 24 PPG. I believe this one will go a little higher, though, as Clemson looks to bounce back this season.Oregon State Beavers vs Ohio State Buckeyes
I tend to shy away from the larger spreads like we see in this one, but this is one that I might actually be all over. Ohio State was a little unfortunate not to be in the playoffs last season, and they are going to come out with a bit of a chip on their shoulder this year. That does not bode well for an Oregon State team that only win 1 game in 2017. Look for the Buckeyes to get in the end zone early and often in this one as they run up the score.Austin Peay Governors vs Georgia Bulldogs
Everyone believed that this would be the year when the Kirby Smart era would really swing into high gear, so it’s fair to say that the National Championship runners-up are ahead of schedule. Georgia will have a lot of new faces on the field this season, particularly on the defensive side of the football.![The Bulldogs are favorites for NCAA Football Week 1 of the 2018 Season.](https://cdn.mybookie.ag/wp-content/uploads/BullDGeorgia.jpg)
