College football opening line report: Week 1

Every week during the college football season, we analyze how the pros set the lines, and what the experts think of them. With the release of Week 1’s action a few days ago, there’s no better time than the present to kick it off.

While there are clearly some as-expected Opening Week duds out there, there are also plenty of marquee matchups that we can spend three weeks debating. So, without further ado:

Wake Forest Demon Deacons at Syracuse Orange (-6)

The Orange enter new territory here. After a bowl win over Kansas State, a lot more is expected of them, especially at home versus a rebuilding ACC team.

“Our range was from Syracuse -5 to -10,” Las Vegas lines consultant Pete Korner told ***********. “We went with the lower number, -6, not confident that Syracuse could manufacture a blowout.”

“This line is based on results from last year. Syracuse was a pleasant surprise while Wake Forest was a big disappointment,” Covers Expert Matt Fargo said. “Syracuse lost 13 seniors while Wake Forest brings back the second most starters in the ACC. This could be too much for the Orange to cover.”

TCU Horned Frogs (-7.5) at Baylor Bears

There’s no doubting the Horned Frogs anymore, as they fear no one and will clearly go anywhere and do anything to further their reputation. An in-state road trip here is proof.

“Our range was from -7 to -12 and we settled on -7.5,” Korner said. “I was the high man at -12, but conceded that the big number may be a major grab by bettors at this early stage.”

“TCU has lost once in the last two years, so naturally it will be a decent-sized road favorite,” Fargo said. “The Horned Frogs will be going through some major rebuilding, losing 14 starters. Baylor will be good again, but is 4-15 ATS in the last 19 as home dogs, including 2-6 under (coach Art) Briles.”

Akron Zips at Ohio State Buckeyes (-37)

The new-look Buckeyes try to forget the offseason by drilling an in-state foe. But is this line asking a bit much?

“Our range was from -33 to -40 and we sent out -37. We'll have to see where this closes,” Korner said. “It's hard to imagine not being heavy with Ohio State money at that low level when it’s time for kickoff. If I were a book, I'd start a lot higher and get some Akron money in the bank before the real betting starts.”

“Stay away,” Fargo said. “Who knows what the Buckeyes will bring to the table. But even so, talent-wise they are way above Akron which is looking at another last place finish in the MAC East.”

Northwestern Wildcats at Boston College Eagles (-3.5)

Two blah teams from major conferences, but a nice debatable line to throw around.

“Our range was from -3 to -7.5, but I yielded again to the lower numbers as we released -3.5,” Korner said. “Not much opinion here, but hopefully either team will establish themselves which will give us a better gauge going into Week 2."

“Both of these teams are pretty equal on paper and the unit matchups will be strength against strength and weakness against weakness,” Fargo said. “Three points is given for home field and this line is right on. Looks like a tossup.”

South Florida Bulls at Notre Dame Fighting Irish (-11)

Year 2 of Brian Kelly doesn’t open with a cupcake. Too many points to give a speedy team?

“Our range was from -11 to -13.5 and we released -11,” Korner said. “I thought that was more than enough. We think this will be a take for dog bettors, but the money may not match the favorite money come gameday.”

“You can argue this is a typical Notre Dame line as it is higher than it should be simply because it is Notre Dame. I think a double-digit number is justified though as the Irish are loaded with talent,” Fargo said. “USF is a favorite in the Big East, but that isn't saying much.”

UCLA Bruins at Houston Cougars (-3)

Houston quarterback Case Keenum will always give the Cougars some value. Is this a chance to make a statement?

“Our range was from -1 to -3, and we sent out -3. We're all close here so there weren’t too many opinions otherwise,” Korner said. “We don't care who wins, but if this line is good, we're just rooting for the final score not to land on three.”

“This is definitely a statement game for Houston after last year's disappointment. Win this and they could be 10-0 going into its huge game against SMU,” Fargo said. “The Bruins will have a tough time in the Pac-10, but match up well talent-wise here. This is a revenge game for the Cougars.”

Western Michigan Broncos at Michigan Wolverines (-17)

A new era at Michigan begins with a team that has bitten some big boys before.

“Our range was from -13 to -20.5, and we sent out -17. I don't care where Michigan is at, they should handle two touchdowns,” Korner said. “Anyone booking this low number will be rooting for the dog to come Saturday. Really, you want to be rooting for Western Michigan?”

“Michigan should be improved under a new staff and new schemes. Changing the offense to a pro set is risky, but will pay off in the long run simply because the defense will play against it in practice every day, thus preparing for the entire Big Ten,” Fargo said. “Western Michigan is talented and can hang around here, since Michigan may still be showing signs of the new learning curve.”

BYU Cougars at Mississippi Rebels (-1.5)

This seems like back to the old days, when BYU would go anywhere against anyone to get some national TV coverage.

“Our range was from Mississippi -1 to -2.5. BYU is the current favorite, not Mississippi. Offshore opinion came out with this number and everyone is copying it. We didn't care,” Korner said. “We sent out Mississippi -1.5 and believe they'll handle BYU here.”

“On paper, the Cougars are clearly the better team, but can they compete against a BCS team,” Fargo asked. “The Rebels will be one of the worst teams in the SEC, but even the bad teams from that conference can beat the best from other conferences. Tossup again.”

Oregon Ducks (-3) vs. LSU Tigers (Arlington, Texas)

For the second time in as many games, spread out over nine months, the speedy Ducks run into the power of the SEC.

“Our range was from pick to Oregon -4.5 and we settled for a sendout of Oregon -3. They may not be Oregon of last year, but they should be close,” Korner said. “Good thing for sportsbooks is that if they need either team big, they should get a good effort from whoever they need.”

“If LSU was at home, this would be a joke of a line. We will have to look deeper into the matchups to find some edges,” Fargo said. “But right now, it is a huge pass.”

Boise State Broncos (-4) vs. Georgia Bulldogs (Atlanta, Georgia)

Another SEC underdog against a team from the West Coast.

“Our range was from Boise State -3 to -6. Minus-4 seemed like the perfect fit and that's what we sent out. There's a reason Boise State is favored,” Korner said. “Because they can beat anyone at any time. We like the higher side and hope we're rooting for them to grab the cash for the sportsbooks.”

“The Bulldogs will have the crowd advantage,” Fargo said. “Georgia had its first losing season in 14 years in 2010, but that could mean a big bounce-back year. Boise State is loaded again, but the points look very tempting.”

NCAAF odds: Early Week 1 line moves
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The wait is almost over, college football fanatics. The action gets going this Thursday with 15 games and continues through the weekend.

As the games near kickoff and the action floods in, their odds are bound to bounce around a bit. Here’s a quick look at some of those lines that are already moving around.

NCAAF Week 1 matchups and odds

UNLV at Wisconsin (-35.5, 56)

Wisconsin opened as low as -32.5 at a few books but is now around -35.5 or -36. UNLV quarterback Caleb Herring steps in as the club’s starting quarterback after appearing in eight games last year.

"We're a very young group," UNLV coach Bobby Hauck. "I think we've got a lot of unknowns on both sides of the ball, but one of the things that excites me is exactly that. I think we'll get better almost every week this season. ... That has to be the goal, to get better."

Tulsa at Oklahoma (-25, 64.5)

Oklahoma moved from a 21-point favorite to around a 25-point chalk after the news that Tulsa’s Damaris Johnson was suspended. Johnson was an All-American kick returner and the NCAA’s all-time leader in all-purpose yards.

Utah State at Auburn (-22, 56)

Auburn was listed as high as -32 at some offshore shops, but is now listed around -22 across the board.

“The first game of the year, you’re liable to get anything,” Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn told reporters. “We do know that they’re very well coached on defense. They’ve got some very good defensive coaches along with their head coach. They’ll have a plan and we’ll have to be able to adjust.”

Oregon at LSU (+3, 55)

The Tigers were set at -3 at the open, before quarterback Jordan Jefferson and linebacker Joshua Johns were suspended for their roles in a Baton Rougue bar fight. Wide receiver Russell Shepard is also suspended and center T-Bob Herbert may also be banned for this matchup.

Now the Tigers are set around +3 while the total is holding at 55.

Florida Atlantic at Florida (-34, 46)

Florida opened as a 31-point favorite but have now moved all the way up to -34. The Gators are hoping for a lot from the offense now that quarterback John Brantley is working with Charlie Weis.

"He comes in now confident. He's taking control of the huddle,” receiver Deonte Thompson said of Brantley. “He walks around different. His whole swagger's back right now. We expect big things from him."

Missouri State at Arkansas (-42, N/A)

Not many books have this game on the board since Missouri State quarterback Trevor Wooden was suspended for the opener for violating a team rule. One book had Arkansas at -39 at the open, but has moved the Razorbacks to -42 since.

College football odds: Thursday line moves
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

College football Week 1 odds have been on the board for almost a month at some shops but the action always heats up the closer we get to the first kickoff of the season.

Here's a look at four Thursday lines on the move, along with some explanation behind the movement:

UNLV at Wisconsin (-32.5 to -35.5)

This just has to do with the betting market not having much faith in the visiting Runnin’ Rebels. Of course, Wisconsin is getting a lot of good press from the media. It seems like all observers see N.C. State transfer Russell Wilson as the perfect fit under center for the Badgers.

"I wanted them to know that I'm here for the same reasons they are," Wilson told ESPN.com writer Mark Schlabach of his new teammates. "I'm the type of quarterback that's going to put in the extra work. We've got a great situation here, and I'm excited about it."

Andrew Patterson, senior oddsmaker with Las Vegas Sports Consultants, told *********** a 3-point move past the four-touchdown range isn’t as noteworthy.

“It’s a lot easier making a move on a line like that than one with a single-digit spread.”

Mississippi State at Memphis (+27.5 to +31)

A lot of people think Memphis could be one of the worst teams in college football this season. Apparently so do some professional bettors.

Las Vegas Hilton race and sportsbook director, Jay Kornegay, told *********** he booked sharp action on the Bulldogs on Monday and Tuesday. That moved the Hilton’s line for this game from +27 to +29.5. By late Wednesday night, the Hilton had adjusted even more, increasing the spread to +31.

Bowling Green at Idaho (-8 to -6)

This weekend’s filled with all sorts of great nonconference games but where’s the love for this MAC-WAC battle?

Okay, so not many public bettors get fired up for a game involving these two programs, but oddsmakers have to be careful that all their lines are tight or wiseguys will catch them napping.

Kornegay is staying ahead so far. He says he moved this line down 2 points (from -8 to -6) because of injuries to Idaho’s receiving corps. Top wideouts Justin Veltung and Preston Davis will not play in this game due to toe and foot injuries.

Wake Forest at Syracuse (-6.5 to -7 to -6)

It might not seem like a big move but taking a half point turn when you’re on the touchdown mark is a big deal for oddsmakers. This game has moved off, on and back off the key number this week.

“We opened -7 and went down to -6,” Kornegay said. “I thought the sharps would take Syracuse but it didn’t happen. They bet the dog, but I expect some Syracuse money late.”

Write-Up

Week 1

Thursday’s college football games
UNLV is 0-10 vs spread as a road underdog the last two years. Wisconsin has 12 rookies in NFL training camps, four more than any school in country, but somehow got NC State transfer Wilson to step in and play QB for one year, after Wolfpack basically cut him- he is very good. Badgers are 7-8 in last 15 games as a home favorite, but since 2005, they’re 16-9-1 vs spread in non-league games. UNLV (+20.5) lost 41-21 at home to Wisconsin LY, getting outrushed 278-112; total yardage was 475-138. UNLV is breaking in a new QB and has only four starters back on defense.

Mississippi State has senior QB with 13 starts, three senior starters on OL; they’re 4-1 in last five tries as road favorites, but they also open SEC play at Auburn next week, so will keep it close to best here, vs Memphis club they’ve beaten eight times in row, covering last five. Memphis is 8-12 as home dog last five years, 3-7 last two years; none of their QB’s have thrown a college pass. Tigers have only three starters back on offense, with four new starters on OL. Not good.

Syracuse went 8-5 LY, after being 14-45 in five years before that; Orange are 7-4 as home favorite since ’06, are 8-2 vs spread in non-conference games under Marrone- they have 8 starters back on offense, including four on OL. Syracuse has only five starters back on defense. Wake (-14) beat Syracuse 20-10 in only meeting five years ago. Deacons have 17 of 22 starters back, with four senior starters on OL; Grobe is just 3-10 as road dog the last four years, after being 17-7 from 2001-06. Wake opens ACC play next week at home vs NC State.

Idaho (even) beat Bowling Green 43-42 in bowl game in Boise two years ago; Falcons then went 2-10 LY playing a freshman QB, but they have seven starters back on both sides of ball. Since 2006, BG is 15-6 vs spread as road underdog, 8-5 in last 13 non-league games. Idaho is 3-6 as home favorite under Akey, but they’ve covered nine of last ten non-WAC games. Vandals have only four starters back on offense, but they’ve got senior QB who threw 71 passes LY (2 starts) and three starters back on OL.

FIU won its last four games vs North Texas by average score of 37-17, covering last three as a favorite; Panthers have 15 starters back from 7-6 team that beat Toledo in FIU’s first-ever bowl – they’re 2-5 as a home favorite last two years, and have TV game at Louisville on Friday. North Texas has new coach in former Iowa State mentor McCarney; UNT has new QB and only two starters back on OL- they’re 7-5 as road underdog last two years, playing pass-happy offense. McCarney will run ball more. UNT is 14-23 vs spread in Sun Belt games the last five years.

Trying to figure out why Kentucky-Western Kentucky game is in Nashville, in a different state; Wildcats won previous two meetings, 63-28 (-24)/41-3 (-21). UK was 4-1 as favorite in Phillips’ first year as HC; Wildcats have 10 starters back on defense, but have new starting QB who did start in 27-10 bowl loss LY. Hilltoppers are only in 4th season of I-A ball; they’re 15-15 vs spread as an underdog, 10-9 on road- they’ve got 15 starters back, a junior QB (20 starts) and three starters back on OL (only one senior).

Friday’s games
TCU won its last three games vs Baylor by combined score of 89-17; Frogs (-21) outrushed Baylor 291-99 in LY’s 45-10 beatdown in Fort Worth, but TCU graduated 14 of 22 starters, has new QB and only one returning starter on OL. TCU is 10-5 as road favorite last three years, 8-10 in non-league games last four years. Baylor has excellent QB in junior Griffin III, who already has 23 career starts; Bears are just 4-15 as a home dog since ’05 (17-28 vs spread in last 45 games as dog overall). Baylor has 9 starters back on offense, including four on OL. Dangerous game for TCU.

Saturday’s top 13 games
Northwestern has a senior QB; they’ve got nine of 10 back from LY’s OL, with 137 returning career starts. Wildcats covered seven of last nine as a road dog- they’re 9-5 SU in last 14 road games. Boston College was 0-4 as a home favorite LY, after covering 17 of previous 25- their top eight receivers are back. BC’s OL has 50 returning starts, but a soph QB with nine starts. Eagles have only five starters back on defense. Wildcats are 9-13 vs spread in last 22 non-league games.

Houston was 36-18 from 2006-9, but Keenum got hurt vs UCLA LY, Cougars (-3.5) lost 31-13 in Pasadena and went on to poor 5-7 season; Bruins outrushed UH 266-108 that day. UCLA has 17 returning starters but doesn’t have clearcut starter at QB. Bruins are 4-11 as road underdog under Neuheisel. Houston is 7-4 as home favorite under Sumlin, 4-8 vs non-league foes- they’ve got six starters back on both sides of ball, but a very young OL, with a freshman and two sophs starting.

South Florida coach Holtz played at Notre Dame under his dad; in his last six years as a coach at ECU/USF, Holtz is 17-7 vs spread as a road underdog. Bulls are 7-3 as road dog since ’07- they’ve got junior QB with 22 career starts, but have three new starters on OL. Notre Dame has 17 starters back but no clearcut starter at QB; over last four years, Irish are 2-5 as favorite in Games 1-3 of season- they play Michigan next. Since 2003, ND is 12-25-2 vs spread as a home favorite. In seven years as a D-I head coach, Kelly is 8-12-2 as a HF.

BYU is an independent for first time this year; they’ve got 10 starters back on offense, including soph QB who started 10 games LY, but only five back on defense. Cougars are 12-10 as AF in six years Mendenhall has been HC. BYU is 7-11 vs non-league foes last four years; now, everyone fits into that category. Ole Miss has new QB, but returns nine of other 10 starters on offense, including all five on OL (2 seniors)- they’ve got only four starters back on defense, losing four of top five tacklers. Rebels are 0-3 as home dog under Nutt, but 8-3 in its last 11 non-SEC games.

Underdogs covered nine of last ten Colorado State-New Mexico games, with dog winning SU in four of last five played here; Rams’ 38-14 home win LY was favorite’s first series cover in decade. State lost three of last four visits here, with three losses by 2-3-3 points. Rams have eight starters back on offense, six on defense; since 2003, they’re 1-10 vs spread as road favorite, 1-3 under Fairchild, but have four starters back on OL. Lobos have three soph starters on OL; they’re 6-10 as home dog last four years, 4-7 in two years under Locksley.

Fresno State is 11-9 vs spread as an underdog last four years, 10-12 vs non-league foes last five years; Bulldogs lost six starters on both sides of ball, are breaking in new QB (David Carr’s brother). Bulldogs allowed 4.6+ yards per rush in each of last four years, which makes it tough to stop team like Cal, that has better athletes. Bears’ new QB started 11 games for Buffalo in ’09. Cal is 3-11 as road favorite last four years. This game is at neutral Candlestick Park (Cal’s stadium is being refurbished this year). Cal coach Tedford was All American QB at Fresno and was assistant coach there for five years.

Indiana’s new coach was Oklahoma’s OC last nine years, during which time Indiana had four different HC’s. Hoosiers have six starters back on both sides of ball, three starters back on OL, with 71 career starts, but they’re breaking in new QB. Indiana lost last meeting vs Ball State 42-20 during Cardinals’ magical 12-2 season in 2008. Since 2005, Ball is 25-15-1 vs spread as an underdog. Cards have 17 starters back, 10 on offense. Hoosiers are 13-11-1 as favorite the last decade, 12-9-1 in last 22 non-league games.

Ohio U lost its starting QB and seven starters on defense, but they do have all five starters back on OL (99 career starts); Bobcats are 18-12 vs spread as favorite under Solich, 8-6 on road. Ohio is 11-15-1 vs spread in its last 27 lined non-MAC games. New Mexico State also has all five starters back on OL (97 career starts) but no clearcut starter at QB. Aggies are 3-11 as home underdog last three years, 2-7 under Walker. Over last four years, State is 2-11-1 in its last 14 non-WAC games. Hard to gauge how much Aggies’ infusion of JC talent will help right off bat.

Boise State coach Peterson is 61-5 SU in his five years, 11-4 in last 15 games as road fave, 11-3 vs spread in last 14 non-league games. Playing Dawgs in Georgia Dome is definite away game, but Broncos’ senior QB Moore has 39 career starts. Boise graduated five of top seven rushers from LY. Lot of heat under Georgia to start winning again; Dawgs’ soph QB had 24 TD passes, only 8 INTs LY. Georgia is 5-8 as an underdog since 2003. Georgia has three new starters on OL- they were 6-7 LY despite a +10 turnover ratio, a bad sign.

LSU won Cotton Bowl in this unique stadium eight months ago; Tigers have 8 starters back on offense, 7 on defense, but unsure of QB Jefferson’s status (legal issues). LSU has four starters back on OL; they’re 5-9 vs spread in last 14 non-SEC games. Oregon lost national title game to Auburn of SEC eight months ago; they’ve got six starters back on offense, five on defense. Ducks are 32-7 SU last three years, 18-12 vs spread in non-league games since ’03 (4-4 under Kelly). Oregon lost three starters from LY’s OL- their junior QB has 13 career starts. Miles is 62-17 SU as LSU’s coach.

Since 2004, Louisiana Tech is 9-28 vs spread as road dog; they were 1-2 in Dykes’ first year as HC LY. Bulldogs have new starting QB and three new starters on OL (all five OL starters are juniors). Southern Miss (-3.5) won 13-12 at Louisiana Tech LY, despite being +2 in turnovers and outrushing Tech 192-47; USM has 7 starters back on both sides of ball- they’re 9-7 as home favorite under Fedora, but 7-11 vs spread in last 15 non-league games. Eagles have senior QB with 31 career starts. Since 2002, Tech is 10-23 vs spread in non-league games.

Colorado has new coach, is in new league; since 2005, they’re 7-17 as road underdog, but they’re also 15-12 vs spread in last 27 non-league games. Buffs has 16 starters back, nine on offense; they have senior QB who has 16 career starts and four starters (three seniors) back on OL. Hawai’i (+13.5) lost 31-13 in Boulder LY, giving up 252 yards on ground- they’re 22-12 as home favorite since 2004, 7-4 in three years under McMackin. Hawai’I has senior QB with 22 starts, but they’ve also got four new starters on OL and only three returning starters on offense (6 on defense).

Troy State is one of those teams you never give points to in September; they’re 14-10-1 vs spread as road dog since 2004 (6-2 in first three games of year in last five years). Troy has NFL-caliber athletes, just not as many as the big schools do. Trojans have 8 starters back on offense and soph QB who made 13 starts LY. Clemson has 9 starters back on offense, only five on defense; Tigers have new QB but 4 starters (3 seniors) back on OL. Since ;04, Clemson is just 16-19-1 as home favorite, but they’re 6-5 under Swinney. Tigers covered only five of last 16 non-league games.

Week 1

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
College football Week 1 Top 25 betting cheat sheet
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Memphis Tigers at No. 20 Mississippi State Bulldogs (-29, 50)

Why Memphis will cover: Despite going just 1-11 in 2010, the Tigers were a respectable 5-7 ATS. Coach Larry Porter gets a second year to install his gameplan.

Why Mississippi State will cover: The Bulldogs return 15 starters, including all their skill-position starters. They will put up points. Meanwhile, Memphis is expected to be the worst team in Conference USA.

Points: MSU trounced Memphis 49-7 in last season’s opener, and there’s little to suggest the Bulldogs won’t score a pile again.

UNLV Runnin’ Rebels at No. 10 Wisconsin Badgers (-35, 56)

Why UNLV will cover: The Rebels are 0-4 against the Badgers in recent years, but 4-0 ATS.

Why Wisconsin will cover: UNLV was 0-7 straight up and ATS on the road in 2010. Wisconsin’s punishing ground game will eventually overwhelm its smaller opponent.

Points: How UNLV will slow UW is a mystery, but the Badgers have questions of their own on defense, especially against the pass.

FRIDAY

No. 15 TCU Horned Frogs at Baylor Bears (+6.5, 56)

Why TCU will cover: The Horned Frogs will be confident after hammering the Bears 45-10 last season. Though TCU’s offense is starting over with nine new starters, Baylor’s new-look defense may take a week to get going.

Why Baylor will cover: TCU went 13-0 last season, but was only 6-6 ATS. The Bears will have one of the top offensive units in the Big 12.

Points: Both teams have the potential to put up big points; it will depend on how quickly both defenses respond.

SATURDAY

Tulsa Golden Hurricane at No. 1 Oklahoma Sooners (-24.5, 64)

Why Tulsa will cover: Tulsa is no pushover, with 15 starters back from a squad that finished ranked No. 24. The Hurricane was 8-4 ATS last season.

Why Oklahoma will cover: The nation’s top-ranked team, at home, on national television to begin the season: not a good recipe for the Hurricane.

Points: Tulsa’s offense has ranked in the top 5 nationally in three of the last five seasons. Oklahoma can score on anyone.

Kent State Golden Flashes at No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide (-38, 45.5)

Why Kent State will cover: The Flashes’ aggressive defense could give the Tide troubles early on, which could make the huge spread tough to reach.

Why Alabama will cover: 'Bama is loaded on both sides, with returning starters aplenty and a focus to win a national title. If the Tide hit the field in form, they could win by 50.

Points: Kent State will have problems reaching the end zone, but Alabama likely won’t.

No. 3 Oregon Ducks vs. No. 4 LSU Tigers (+1, 55) at Arlington, Tex.

Why Oregon will cover: The Ducks are poised to win a national title with another explosive offense and a bend-don’t-break defense. Plus, the absence LSU’s QB Jordan Jefferson (suspended) can only help Oregon’s cause.

Why LSU will cover: The Tigers have shut down some of the top offenses out there. Oregon may be susceptible against the run, which works into LSU’s strategy.

Points: The Ducks had the nation’s top scoring offense in 2010, scoring 37 or more points in 11 of 13 games. A Jefferson-less LSU is the x-factor.

No. 7 Boise State Broncos vs. No. 22 Georgia Bulldogs (+3.5, 50.5) at Atlanta

Why Boise State will cover: The Broncos beat Virginia Tech and Oregon in their last two season openers, so they know how to start a season right against a quality opponent. Fourteen starters return. Georgia was underdog in two games last year, and lost both.

Why Georgia will cover: The defense is expected to be tough this year. And playing close to its own backyard can’t hurt.

Points: Boise’s offense ranked No. 2 nationally in 2010. Georgia QB Aaron Murray is back after a stellar freshman year last season.

Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks at No. 5 Florida State Seminoles (-28.5, 54.5)

Why Louisiana-Monroe will cover: ULM knows how to cover; the team was 5-7 last year, but 6-5 ATS. Its defense can has given Sun Belt teams problems.

Why Florida State will cover: FSU is not a Sun Belt team. And this year’s Seminoles offense is expected to be as explosive as any that Tallahassee’s seen in a decade.

Points: ULM returns eight offensive starters, including its top four wideouts and its QB. FSU should also be loaded, setting up a potential shootout.

San Jose State Spartans at No. 6 Stanford Cardinal (-30, 53)

Why San Jose State will cover: With 11 returning starters on defense, the Spartans are expected to fare much better than last year’s one-win team. And despite the bad record, they were 5-6 ATS.

Why Stanford will cover: QB Andrew Luck is back, leading one of the nation’s top offenses. A defense that had three Pac-10 shutouts last year returns six starters.

Points: Stanford scored more than 35 points 11 times last year, but the new cast around Luck may take a quarter or two to adjust against an experienced Spartans D.

La-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns at No. 8 Oklahoma State Cowboys (-37, 63.5)

Why Louisiana-Lafayette will cover: That’s a lot of points, and the Ragin’ Cajuns have scrapped the wide-open style that’s failed the last couple seasons for more of a possession offense. That’ll drain some clock. Last year’s 3-9 team was 7-5 ATS.

Why Oklahoma State will cover: OSU went 11-2 overall, 10-3 ATS, and played very close to the line in two of those misses. The Cowboys averaged 44.2 ppg last season and return seven starters.

Points: ULL will be hard-pressed to keep up its end of the scoring bargain, so it’ll be up to OSU to pile on the points. Which it can.

East Carolina Pirates vs. No. 12 South Carolina Gamecocks (-20.5, 62) at Charlotte, N.C.

Why East Carolina will cover: ECU can score; the Pirates averaged 36.8 ppg last season and bring back their QB and three starting wideouts.

Why South Carolina will cover: ECU couldn’t stop anyone last year, allowing 44.0 ppg, second-worst in the nation. The Gamecocks bring back seven offensive starters and their entire defensive backfield, which should keep ECU at bay.

Points: Combined, these teams start seven wide receivers and last season averaged 557 yards through the air per game. Expect fireworks.

South Florida Bulls at No. 18 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (-10, 47)

Why South Florida will cover: Athletic QB B.J. Daniels can give unsuspecting teams fits. The defense is expected to be strong, especially against the pass. Plus, teams that go to Notre Dame just get fired up.

Why Notre Dame will cover: With eight returning starters from a defense that ranked No. 23 nationally, points for Notre Dame foes will be tough to come by. Meanwhile, the offense also returns eight, and much bigger things are expected from the Irish.

Points: The over hit on USF games just four times in 2010; same with Notre Dame. The Irish aren’t likely to allow many scores on this day.

Akron Zips at No. 16 Ohio State Buckeyes (-34, 48)

Why Akron will cover: Maybe Ohio State will come out slow, after a messy off-season left a plethora of question marks.

Why Ohio State will cover: Talent-wise, it’s not even close. Ohio State, if its mind is on the game and the players know the playbook, should steamroll. The only thing that’s likely to stop the Buckeyes is the clock.

Points: Akron, out of the MAC, averaged just 15.6 ppg last year, but allowed 35.1 and won just once. OSU may have to score 48 to hit the over, which is possible.

Miami (Ohio) RedHawks at No. 21 Missouri Tigers (-20, 47.5)

Why Miami (Ohio) will cover: The RedHawks return eight of their top nine tacklers from last year. With seven returning starters on offense, the unit should be better than last year’s poor 21.6 ppg effort. Missouri (10-3 in ’10) was only 6-6 ATS.

Why Missouri will cover: The offense should be stellar; every player who caught a pass last year returns. Last year, Mizzou was a 19.5-point favorite over Miami, and won 51-13.

Points: A clash of experienced units (Missouri offense vs. Miami defense) will decide the pace of the game.

Florida Atlantic Owls at No. 23 Florida Gators (-35, 46)

Why Florida Atlantic will cover: Thirty-four points is a big spread for a Gators team that had several key holes to fill in the off-season. If the Owls control the pace, they could lose by less than that.

Why Florida will cover: For a team on the rebound, the hapless Owls provide the perfect opening foe. FAU returns just three starters on defense, which should water the mouths of Gators offensive skill players.

Points: Florida should run downhill most of the game, but can it score enough to cover the entire total?

Utah State Aggies at No. 19 Auburn Tigers (-21, 56.5)

Why Utah State will cover: The Aggies will try to chew up the clock on the ground, which could make it difficult for the rebuilding Tigers offense to cover a three-TD-plus spread.

Why Auburn will cover: Despite a practically new lineup on both sides of the ball, the talent is there. If the newcomers can pick up where last year’s team left off, the spread is low.

Points: The over hit only three times in Utah State game in 2010. Auburn is replacing a stunning 17 starters. Expect growing pains.

Rice Owls at Texas Longhorns (-24, 55)

Why Rice will cover: Last year, Rice faced Texas in the opener at 31.5-point dogs, and lost just 34-17. The Longhorns should be better, but the Owls, with 15 returning starters, should be too.

Why Texas will cover: After a shocking 5-7 record last year, five assistant coaches were canned and the senior class that led last year's downfall is gone. It was replaced with typical Texas-sized talent aimed at keeping the Longhorns relevant.

Points: The over hit on eight of Rice's games last season, and Texas has something to prove, especially on offense.

SUNDAY

SMU Mustangs at No. 9 Texas A&M Aggies (-16.5, 57)

Why SMU will cover: Third-year starting QB Kyle Padron leads a squad that has 18 starters back and has aspirations of SMU winning its first Conference USA title since the pre-Death Penalty days.

Why Texas A&M will cover: It will be tough to throw against the Aggies this year, which returns its top two players at each defensive backfield position. The offense returns nine starters. That’s a lot for SMU to handle.

Points: June Jones still coaches SMU. SMU games hit the over in four of its first five games in 2010. A&M will also come out firing.

TCU at Baylor: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TCU Horned Frogs at Baylor Bears (+4.5, 55.5)

THE STORY: No. 15 TCU finished last season a perfect 13-0 and has won 27 of its last 28 games dating back to 2008 but return just eight total starters. Baylor is coming off its first winning season since joining the Big 12 and first bowl appearance since 1994.

The Horned Frogs have dominated this series of late, winning the last three meetings against Baylor by a combined score of 89-17.

TV: ESPN. Line: TCU -6.5

ABOUT TCU (2010: 13-0, 8-0 Mountain West): This is the Horned Frogs’ final season in the Mountain West before they depart for the Big East in 2012. Coach Gary Patterson lost record-setting quarterback Andy Dalton to the NFL and will ask sophomore Casey Pachall to fill his shoes. Linebacker Tank Carder — the Mountain West’s 2010 Defensive Player of the Year — should lead another stout TCU defense.

ABOUT BAYLOR (2010: 7-6, 4-4 Big 12): The Bears’ most successful season since the early 1990s ended sourly with a four-game losing streak and blowout loss to Illinois in the Texas Bowl. Junior quarterback Robert Griffin is Baylor’s do-everything star, and he has plenty of weapons at receiver in Kendall Wright, Josh Gordon and Terrance Williams. Coach Art Briles brought in highly regarded defensive coordinator Phil Bennett to fix a defense that gave up 30.5 points per game in 2010.

EXTRA POINTS

1. TCU has finished No. 1 in the FBS in total defense each of the past three years and in five of the last 11 seasons.

2. The Horned Frogs haven’t given up more than 19 points per game since 2004.

3. Baylor returns five players who caught at least 40 passes in 2010.

TRENDS

TCU is 4-0 ATS in its last four games against Baylor but just 1-5 ATS in its last six nonconference games.

Baylor is 18-38 ATS in its last 56 games as a home underdog.

The under is 5-0 in Baylor's last five nonconference games.

LINE MOVES

Oddsmakers opened with the Horned Frogs giving 6 to 6.5 points to the hosting Bears. But bettors have come in on Baylor with the line dropping all the way to 4.5. This is kind of a dead number, so you could see spread drop another half or full point before kickoff if the books don't get more action on TCU. The total seems to be holding steady between 55 and 56.

PREDICTION: TCU 20, Baylor 14 -- The Bears should be able to keep this one closer than in years past, but the Horned Frogs’ defense will be strong enough to pull out a tight victory.

What bettors need to know: Oregon vs. LSU
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oregon Ducks vs. LSU Tigers (+4, 54.5)

THE STORY: Two key players will be missing when No. 3 Oregon and No. 4 LSU square off in the marquee Saturday game of college football’s opening weekend. LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson was one of two Tigers suspended indefinitely after being arrested on second-degree felony battery charges following a recent altercation outside a bar. Oregon will be without star cornerback Cliff Harris, who was suspended indefinitely because of an off-season speeding incident. The Ducks lost to Auburn in last season’s BCS National Championship Game and are candidates to return this season. LSU is also forecasted to be in the title mix and figures to battle Alabama for the Southeastern Conference's West Division crown.

TV: ABC. LINE: Oregon -4

ABOUT LSU (11-2 in 2010): The Tigers have been dealing with distractions because of the incident in which Jefferson and sophomore linebacker Joshua Johns were arrested and suspended. Also, junior receiver Russell Shepard was suspended by the NCAA for a rules violation. The loss of Jefferson puts senior quarterback Jarrett Lee back in the spotlight. Lee started eight games in 2008 but had an up-and-down campaign in which he passed for 14 touchdowns and was intercepted 16 times. He started only once in the past two seasons. Senior cornerback Morris Claiborne (five interceptions) is an All-American candidate after playing in the shadow of shutdown corner Patrick Peterson, the fifth overall pick in April’s NFL Draft. Senior linebacker Ryan Baker had seven sacks in 2010.

ABOUT OREGON (12-1 in 2010): The Ducks are explosive on offense and the two biggest factors for that are back for their junior seasons. Running back LaMichael James is one of the nation’s top players after rushing for 1,731 yards and finishing third in the Heisman Trophy balloting. Quarterback Darron Thomas passed for 30 touchdowns and was intercepted only nine times. Senior middle linebacker Dewitt Stuckey will be counted on to lead the defense after the offseason arrest of Kiko Alonso. The situation with Harris (six interceptions in 2010) isn’t Oregon’s only recent controversial issue. Running back Lache Seastrunk was given his release from the program in August and announced a transfer to Baylor. The NCAA is investigating whether Seastrunk was influenced to choose Oregon by a recruiting service that Oregon paid $25,000.

LINE MOVES: This spread has pulled from the board numerous times heading into Week 1. Louisiana State was originally posted as a 3-point neutral-site favorite on August 5, but with Johns and Jefferson’s suspensions the spread has dropped to LSU +4. The total opened at 55.5 points and has been bet down to 54.5 as of Friday afternoon.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. This is the fourth meeting between the Tigers and Ducks. LSU won the most recent contest 56-17 in 1977.

2. Thomas’ 30 passing scores last season were two shy of the school record set by Akili Smith in 1998.

3. LSU assistant Steve Kragthorpe stepped down as offensive coordinator in early August after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and Greg Studrawa was promoted to coordinator.

TRENDS:

- Ducks are 5-1 ATS in their last six games in September.
- Ducks are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five games as favorites.
- Tigers are 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight neutral site games.
- Tigers are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games in September.
- Over is 22-8-2 in Ducks last 32 games as favorites.
- Under is 29-14-1 in Tigers last 44 games as underdogs.

PREDICTION: Oregon 38, LSU 23 - The powerful Ducks use their offensive firepower to overwhelm LSU’s defense and Oregon's defense limits the inconsistent Lee to win the showdown of top five teams.

Game of the day: Boise State vs. Georgia
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boise State Broncos vs. Georgia Bulldogs (+3, 50.5)

THE STORY: Georgia qualifies as Boise State’s toughest non-conference opponent despite the fact the Bulldogs finished below .500 last season. The No. 7 Broncos won high-profile openers the past two seasons against Oregon (2009) and Virginia Tech (2010) and need to beat No. 22 Georgia to have any chance of garnering national championship talk. Bulldogs coach Mark Richt is on the hot seat. He is 96-34 in 10 seasons at Georgia, but 14-12 over the past two seasons. Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore was fourth in last season’s Heisman Trophy balloting. The Broncos are 0-4 against SEC foes.

On Friday, Boise State announced it will be without three Dutch-born players -- receiver Geraldo Boldewijn, safety Cedric Febis and defensive tackle Ricky Tjong-A-Tjoe -- pending a review of their eligibility. All three players are not traveling. The review is not related to academics or rules violations, the school said. Boldewijn, a sophomore, was expected to have a significant role this season following the departures of Austin Pettis and Titus Young to the NFL. Febis is a starting senior safety and will be replaced by redshirt freshman Jeremy Ioane. Tjong-A-Tjoe, a sophomore backup to Billy Winn, played in 12 games last season and made 6.5 tackles for loss.

TV: ESPN. LINE: Boise State -3.5.

ABOUT GEORGIA (6-7 in 2010): The Bulldogs are coming off their first losing season since 1996. Sophomore quarterback Aaron Murray passed for 3,049 yards, 24 touchdowns and was intercepted eight times last season, but receivers A.J. Green and Kris Durham have moved on to the NFL, leaving junior tight end Orson Charles (422 yards) as his most feared target. Junior Richard Samuel and freshman Isaiah Crowell are slated to share the rushing workload after the off-season departures of Washaun Ealey (transfer) and Caleb King (academics). Samuel (quadriceps) and Crowell (groin) both had injury setbacks during August. Senior DeAngelo Tyson has moved over to defensive end after playing in the interior last season. Senior cornerback Brandon Boykin is a dangerous returner with four career kickoff return touchdowns. Boykin and junior safety Bacarri Rambo each had three interceptions in 2010.

ABOUT BOISE STATE (12-1 in 2010): The Broncos are 61-5 in Chris Petersen’s five seasons as coach. Moore is 38-2 as a starter and coming off a season in which he passed for 3,845 yards and 35 touchdowns against only six interceptions. However, he lost school-icon receivers Titus Young and Austin Pettis to the NFL and is adjusting to a lot of new targets. Senior Tyler Shoemaker (32 receptions) is the top holdover. Senior running back Doug Martin is coming off a 1,260-yard season. Seven starters are back from a stingy defense, including senior defensive tackle Billy Winn (9.5 tackles for loss), senior defensive end Shea McClellin (9.5 sacks) and safety George Iloka (two interceptions).

LINE MOVES: This line has remained steady, with a short move to 3.5 before being bet back to a field goal. The total opened as high as 52 points and has been bet down to 50.5 as of Friday afternoon.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. Georgia mauled Boise State 48-13 in 2005 in the only other meeting.

2. Boykin is the only player in SEC history with three 100-yard kickoff returns.

3. Moore has thrown a school-record 99 career touchdown passes.

TRENDS:

- Broncos are 4-0 ATS in their last four neutral-site games.
- Broncos are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as favorites.
- Broncos are 22-10-1 ATS in their last 33 non-conference games.
- Bulldogs are 1-4 ATS in their last five games in September.
- Bulldogs are 0-4 ATS in their last four games as underdogs.

PREDICTION: Boise State 30, Georgia 24 - Petersen has proven tough to beat when he has a long time to prepare for a BCS-caliber opponent, so look for the Broncos to prevail despite a pro-Georgia atmosphere in Atlanta.

Thunderstorms galore: College football Week 1 weather report
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You’ve memorized the preview mags, kept an eye on all the early line moves, and have your DVR set to record as much Week 1 college football as possible. But have you looked to the skies yet? Here’s the weather report for the opening slate of NCAAF action Saturday:

MTSU Blue Raiders at Purdue Boilermakers (-17.5, 49.5)

Partially cloudy skies will give way to possible thundershowers in Layette, Ind., Saturday afternoon. Winds will also pick up, reaching around 10 mph and blowing WSW at Ross-Ade Stadium.

Kent State Golden Flashes at Alabama Crimson Tide (-38, 47)

Game time temperatures are expected to climb into the mid 90's when the Tide host the Golden Flashes at Bryant-Denny Stadium. There is also a threat of thundershowers in the forecast for Saturday's game.

UL Monroe Warhawks at Florida State Seminoles (-29.5, 55.5)

Tallahassee is expected to get hit with thundershowers and winds reaching into the high teens. The steady breeze will be blowing SE at Bobby Bowden Field. Saturday’s total has climbed from as low as 52 points.

South Florida Bulls at Notre Dame Fighting Irish (-11, 47)

South Bend, Ind., could get hit by thundershowers in the Irish’s season opener. The forecast is calling for storms and wind earlier in the game, then calmer conditions in the second half. Keep an eye on those weathervanes, halftime bettors.

Arkansas State Red Wolves at Illinois Fighting Illini (-21, 57.5)

Thunderstorms are in the forecast for Champaign, Ill., Saturday. A 31 percent chance of showers is on the board along with winds blowing SW from corner to corner. The total has been bet down a touch, from 58.5 points.

UCLA Bruins at Houston Cougars (-2.5, 61)

One of the biggest totals on the Week 1 board could be impacted by the possibility of thundershowers and winds reaching speeds of up to 20 mph - not to mention heat in the mid 90s. The forecast for O'Quinn Field could make passing tough for Houston QB Case Keenum. Regardless of the forecast, the total climbed as high as 61.5 at some books.

Western Michigan Broncos at Michigan Wolverines (-14, 61.5)

The Big House could also be the Wet House if thundershowers roll into Ann Arbor Saturday. There is a chance of the wet stuff and winds reaching speeds of up to 10 mph, gusting west across the field.

BYU Cougars at Mississippi Rebels (+2.5, 57)

Ole Miss and BYU will remain relatively dry for most of their season opener Saturday. However, there is a chance of rain late into the game which could impact the second-half scoring. The rain should help break up the heat, which will be in the high 90s to start the game.

Colorado State Rams at New Mexico Lobos (+6, 49.5)

Thundershowers could dampen Albuquerque Saturday night. Storms are in the forecast, but the winds in University Stadium will remain calm. The total for this matchup has dropped significantly from its opening post of 52.5 points.

Army Black Knights at Northern Illinois Huskies (-10.5, 55.5)

There’s a 53 percent chance of rain for Brigham Field Saturday. The number for this game has climbed over two points from its opening post.

UL Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns at Oklahoma State Cowboys (-38, 64.5)

Hopefully T. Boone Pickens can shell out a couple bucks for umbrellas during the Cowboys’ opener. Clear skies around kickoff will give way to thundershowers with gametime temperatures flirting with the mid 90s in Stillwater, Okla.

Tulsa Golden Hurricane at Oklahoma Sooners (-24.5, 65)

Clear skies will get pushed out by possible thundershowers in Norman, Okla. The Sooners and Golden Hurricane will likely get hit by the bad weather later in the game, making the second-half total a tempting wager.

Rice Owls at Texas Longhorns (-24, 55)

A steady breeze will cool off the Owls and Longhorns for the first part of this Texas rivalry. Gametime temperatures could climb into the triple digits by kickoff.

Louisiana Tech Bulldogs at Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles (-13, 57.5)

The forecast in Hattiesburg, Miss., is calling for a chance of thundershowers and winds reaching 20 mph when the Bulldogs and Golden Eagles open the season Saturday. The gusts, which are expected to blow east from sideline to sideline, will die down later in the game.
