Michigan is 11-10 as a favorite under Harbaugh; they’re 1-4-2 vs spread in last seven games on neutral fields. Last couple years, SEC teams are 6-2 vs spread when playing Big 14 teams.

South Carolina covered its last four games on neutral fields; they’ve got 16 starters back. Since 2015, they’re 6-9 vs spread as an underdog. Gamecocks’ soph QB started 7 games LY. NC State has 17 starters back; they’re 13-6 vs spread in last 19 non-ACC games. Wolfpack is 16-10 vs spread as a favorite under Doeren; since ’08, they’re 5-3 vs spread on a neutral field. State’s OL has 89 returning starts; their junior QB has 13 starts. Last two years, ACC teams are 14-9 vs spread when facing SEC opponents.

Florida State-Alabama both have sophomore QB’s who played all of last year; since 2012, FSU is 3-1 vs spread as an underdog- they don’t get points very often. Seminoles are 6-7 vs spread in non-ACC games under Fisher. FSU’s offensive line has 57 retuning starts. Since ’09, Alabama is 14-7 vs spread on neutral fields; they’re 12-8-1 vs spread in last 21 games when favored. Crimson Tide has only 11 returning starters and a soph QB who is a suspect passer. Bama’s OL has 67 returning starts.

Virginia Tech has a new QB; their offensive line has 72 returning starts. Since 2011, Hokies are just 19-34-1 vs spread when favored. Since ’10, they’re 13-20-1 in non-ACC games. Tech has only 5 starters back on offense. West Virginia lost 8 starters on defense, 6 on offense; since ’12, they’re 7-12 vs spread outside the Big X. WVU is 7-9 vs spread in last 16 games when getting points. Mountaineers’ OL has only 46 returning starts. ACC-Big X don’t meet often; last five years, ACC teams are 6-5 vs spread when facing a Big X squad.

Pac-12-SEC games don’t happen much; since 2011, SEC teams are 7-3 vs spread when they play a Pac-12 opponent. Under Sumlin, Texas A&M is 12-13 vs spread out of conference; since 2013, they’re 3-7 vs spread when getting points. Aggies lost 6 starters on offense; they’ve got a new QB, their OL has only 48 returning starts. UCLA has 9 starters back on offense; their OL has 85 returning starts. Since 2014, Bruins are 5-10 vs spread as a favorite; they’re 1-8-1 vs spread in last 10 non-conference games.

Prepping for the option can be tough, but Tennessee has had more time, seeing as this is their opener. Vols’ offensive line has 111 returning starts, #2 experienced OL in country. Tennessee is 13-16 vs spread when favored under Jones- they’ve got 7 starters back on both sides of ball. Georgia Tech has 8 starters back on both sides, but has a new QB; Jackets are 9-5 vs spread in last 14 non-league games, 9-11 in last 20 games when getting points. Last two years, ACC teams are 14-9 vs spread when facing SEC opponents.

NCAAF Week 1 opening line report: Several high-profile battles highlight opening weekend

There were a handful of lesser-lights college football games last weekend, but this week truly kicks off the season, with dozens of games, including a couple very high-profile matchups. We check in on the opening lines and early action for four of those games, with insights from Dave Mason, sportsbook brand manager for offshore shop BetOnline.ag.

No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide vs. No. 3 Florida State Seminoles (+7)

These perennially strong teams open the season Saturday with a neutral-site contest at the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, in prime time with an 8 p.m. ET kickoff.

Alabama has played in the last two national championship games, earning a split against Clemson in both cases. Last season, the Crimson Tide rolled up a 13-0 SU record in the regular season (9-4 ATS), then bounced Washington 24-7 as a 12.5-point favorite in the College Football Playoff semifinals. But it was a bitter end to the season, as ‘Bama gave up a last-second touchdown to lose the final to Clemson 35-31 giving 6.5 points.

Florida State had a bumpy first eight weeks of the 2016 season, going 5-3 SU (4-3 ATS), but the Seminoles didn’t lose the rest of the way, finishing 10-3 SU (8-4 ATS). Florida State capped the year with a thrilling 33-32 victory over Michigan in the Orange Bowl.

“This line is currently exactly where we opened – Alabama 7-point chalk,” Mason said, noting this game first went up on the board back in June. “Not too much movement one way or another. No surprise this game is getting more early action than any other. Action so far has been pretty even, with 52 percent of the early bettors backing ‘Bama.”

No. 16 Florida Gators vs. No. 9 Michigan Wolverines (-5)

It’s another big neutral-site non-conference game on opening weekend, with both these teams looking to make a big early splash in this 3:30 ET kickoff on Saturday at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.

Michigan got out of the gate 9-0 SU (5-4 ATS) in 2016, but lost three of its last four, including the aforementioned 33-32 Orange Bowl setback to Florida State to finish at 10-3 SU (6-7 ATS). Florida went 9-4 SU (5-7-1 ATS) in 2016, ending the regular season with a loss at Florida State, followed by a 54-16 blowout setback to Alabama in the SEC title game. But the Gators got it back together for the Outback Bowl, drubbing Iowa 30-3 as a 1.5-point favorite.

“This game is shaping up to be our biggest decision of the weekend,” Mason said, noting the line is now Michigan -3.5. “Sixty-nine percent of the early bettors are on the Wolverines. Michigan is taking on more bets than any other team on the betting board so far.”

Florida will be without star wideout Antonio Callaway, who was among seven Gators suspended for this game a couple of weeks ago.

Louisiana State Tigers vs. Brigham Young Cougars (+12)

This neutral-site game, set for 9:30 p.m. ET Saturday, took on more intrigue Monday when it was moved from Houston’s NRG Stadium to New Orleans’ Superdome, due to Hurricane Harvey. That forced BetOnline.ag to take it off the board for the moment to reassess.

LSU is coming off an 8-4 SU campaign (6-6 ATS) that included the firing of Les Miles, who was replaced by interim coach Ed Orgeron, who now heads up the program. The Tigers capped the season with a 29-9 victory over Louisville laying 3 points in the Citrus Bowl.

BYU won its last five games and eight of its last nine in 2016 to finish 9-4 SU and ATS. The Cougars edged Wyoming 24-21 giving 10 points in the Poinsettia Bowl.

“Some significant movement since opening LSU as 12-point favorites, with BYU currently getting 14.5,” Mason said, just before the game was taken down. “This one is getting very lopsided action from the public, with 81 percent on the Tigers minus the points.”

Texas A&M Aggies at UCLA Bruins (-3)

UCLA is coming off a dumpster-fire season in which it went 4-8 SU and ATS. The Bruins lost six of their last seven games, including the last two to Pac-12 rivals Southern California (36-14 at home getting 13 points) and California (36-10 laying 3 points on the road).

Texas A&M had a better 2016, but hit the skids after a stout 6-0 SU start (4-2 ATS), finishing the season 8-5 SU (4-9 ATS) and failing to cash in its final nine games. That included a 33-28 loss to Kansas State as a 4-point favorite in the Texas Bowl.

“After opening as a field-goal favorite, UCLA is currently - 3.5 (-118),” Mason said of action on this 7:30 p.m. ET Sunday night kickoff at the Rose Bowl. “About 57 percent of early bettors are on the Bruins so far.”

NCAAF's biggest betting mismatches: Week 1

Each week, Monty Andrews breaks down some of the underlying betting mismatches on the college football slate, giving you an inside edge when handicapping the schedule and setting your daily fantasy lineup.

Florida State Seminoles vs Alabama Crimson Tide (-7, 49.5)

Seminoles' unimpressive TO margin vs. Crimson Tide's ball-hawking prowess

There is no bigger game on the opening-week calendar than Saturday's tilt between the No. 3 Seminoles and the top-ranked Crimson Tide at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. And while the game is expected to be a tightly-contested affair - at least, relative to the rest of Alabama's schedule - both teams have advantages they will look to exploit in the season opener. One of the biggest ones, based on last year's performances, could put Florida State in a bad position this weekend.

The Seminoles were merely ordinary at taking care of the football last season, averaging 1.7 turnovers for and 1.6 turnovers against for a net differential of +0.1 - good for 51st in Division I. Florida State was even worse at taking care of the football late in the campaign, recording a net turnover differential of -4 over its last three games of the season. And while those miscues didn't prevent the Seminoles from an Orange Bowl victory, the story could be much different against the relentless Crimson Tide.

Alabama's regular-season turnover differential was elite - at 1.9 turnovers forced and 1.3 turnovers allowed, the Crimson Tide's +0.6 differential ranked 19th nationwide - but it was down the stretch when the Crimson Tide really flexed their muscles. 'Bama was sensational at ball control over the final three games of last season, forcing eight turnovers while committing zero. And if the turnover battle skews that way on Saturday night, the Crimson Tide should cruise.

Florida Gators vs Michigan Wolverines (-3.5, 45)

Gators' road third-down woes vs. Wolverines' stout D

Oddsmakers are expecting a low-scoring defensive showdown at AT&T Stadium this weekend in college football's other marquee matchup between the 16th-ranked Gators and No. 9 Wolverines. Florida's offense is in flux - surprise, surprise - and with question marks at quarterback and on the offensive line, there's no telling how well the Gators will be able to move the ball. If last season is any indication, Florida's punter might see a lot of screen time Saturday.

The Gators have struggled to find consistency at quarterback since Tim Tebow became a pro; four different quarterbacks have at least 100 pass attempts in two years with Jim McElwain at the helm. Florida's offensive struggles last season were summarized in how poorly the team performed on third down, converting at a pedestrian 41.7-percent clip. That rate drops even lower if you only count road games, with Florida making good on just 33.6 percent of third downs away from Gainesville.

That won't play well at all against Michigan. The Wolverines are set to build upon last year's promising start to the season - and atone for last year's crushing loss to Florida State in the Orange Bowl. The Wolverines were the stingiest team in the nation last year when it came to third-down conversion, allowing opponents to make good at an absurd 21 percent clip.

LSU Tigers at BYU Cougars (+14.5, 47.5)

Tigers' red-zone struggles vs. Cougars' downfield dominance

Coming off a solid showing in SEC play and a decisive win over Louisville in the Citrus Bowl, LSU opens its 2017 campaign as more than a two-touchdown favorite over a BYU team that kicked off its season last weekend with a one-sided victory over Portland State. Yet, while the Cougars aren't expected to put up much of a fight, they do own a decided advantage in red-zone play based on last year's results - and that could keep things closer than fans and oddsmakers expect.

The Tigers were slightly below average last season when it came to converting trips inside the opposition's 20-yard line into touchdowns or field goals, scoring points on five out of every six visits in games against fellow FBS opponents. It was a slight decrease from the 84.8-percent conversion rate LSU posted a season earlier. The 13th-ranked Tigers averaged 27.8 points per game last season, and will need to be sharper in the red zone if they hope to finish among the leaders in that category.

Perhaps LSU can learn a thing or two from its weekend opponent. The Cougars were one of the best teams in the country last season at turning red-zone trips into digits on the scoreboard, converting at a 95.9-percent rate; only Florida State was better. That is nothing new for BYU, which converted at a 93.6-percent clip in 2015. The Cougars are also elite at preventing red-zone scores, limiting teams to a 73.5-percent success rate - the eighth-best mark in Division I.

West Virginia Mountaineers vs Virginia Tech Hokies (-4, 51.5)

Mountaineers' ordinary pass protection vs. Hokies' sack-happy home D

This hotly anticipated matchup features two teams ranked in the top 25 who haven't faced each other in 12 years - and much of the focus will be on new Mountaineers' quarterback Will Grier, who last played with the Florida Gators in 2015. Grier looked good in Gainesville, but he had better hope his offensive line is better than it was last year. The Hokies boasted one of the best defenses in the nation in 2016.

The Mountaineers were an average pass-protection unit last season, ranking 63rd out of 128 qualifying teams in sacks allowed per game (2.1) in games against other FBS foes. They were worse down the stretch, giving up eight sacks over their final three games of the season - and now have to deal with the loss of All-American center Tyler Orlosky to the NFL. Grier will need to work fast or risk winding up on his back more than a couple of times Sunday night.

The Hokies defense will be licking its chops after putting together one of the most dominant showings in the nation last season. With a secondary ranked in the top five in Division I coming into the season, the Hokies are in great position to make life miserable for Grier and the rest of the West Virginia passing game.

Thursday's NCAAF Game of the Day: Ohio State at Indiana
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ohio State Buckeyes at Indiana Hoosiers (+21, 57)

Ohio State goes into another season with high expectations and will be tested right out of the gate on the road, as the second-ranked Buckeyes visit Indiana on Thursday for an early Big Ten matchup. J.T. Barrett returns at quarterback for Ohio State with Heisman Trophy aspirations after completing 61.5 percent of his passes, throwing for 24 touchdowns and running for nine scores last season.

“His accuracy and just his energy level now are incredible,” Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer told reporters of Barrett. “He’s providing that energy for everybody. He’s always done that, but … he’s got complete ownership of everything going on in that offense.” Tom Allen, who begins his first full season as coach at Indiana, hopes to end Ohio State’s 22-game winning streak in the series on the way to leading the Hoosiers to their third straight Bowl appearance. Indiana has the benefit of a productive senior quarterback in Richard Lagow (3,362 passing yards in 2016) and an All-American caliber senior linebacker in Tegray Scales (33.5 career tackles for loss). The Hoosiers will have to contain a talented Buckeyes offense that will be led by first-year offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson, who was fired as Indiana’s coach in December after going 26-47 over six years in Bloomington.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, ESPN.

LINE HISTORY: The Buckeyes opened as 20.5-point favorites and by Wednesday evening that number was bumped slightly to 21. The total hit the betting boards at 53 and has been bet way up to 57.

INJURY REPORT:

Ohio State - WR T. Grimes (Probable, Knee), RB M. Weber (Probable, Hamstring), TE M. Baugh (Probable, Toe), QB J. Burrow (Out Indefinitely, Hand), TE A. Alexander (Out For Season, Knee), DT M. Hill (Out Indefinitely, Suspension).

Indiana - WR S. Cobbs Jr. (Questionable, Possible Suspension), DB B. Fitzgerald (Out For Season, Eligibility), DL N. Sykes (Out For Season, Undisclosed).

WEATHER REPORT: Weather condition should be pretty good for football with cloudy skies and temperatures in the low-70's to upper-60's.

ABOUT OHIO STATE (2016: 11-2 SU, 6-7 ATS, 6-7 O/U): Barrett rushed for 100 yards three times while throwing just seven interceptions last year, but he will have to be even better with the departure of his top three receivers from 2016. Parris Campbell could step up to a key swing role on offense and the Buckeyes will depend a lot on sophomore running back Mike Weber (1,096 yards, nine TDs), who is expected to play after being slowed by a hamstring injury in the preseason. Three high draft picks from the secondary must be replaced on a defense that is led by lineman Tyquan Lewis (eight sacks last year) as Ohio State opens the season against a Big Ten team for the first time since 1975.

ABOUT INDIANA (2016: 6-7 SU, 6-7 ATS, 4-9 O/U): Allen will be looking for more efficiency from Lagow, who completed 57.8 percent of his passes in 2016 and had 19 touchdown tosses but also threw 17 interceptions - four in his last two games. The Hoosiers do not have a running back returning that gained at least 250 yards, although they have a talented receiving corps that is led by junior Nick Westbrook (54 catches, 995 yards, six TDs in 2016). The status of junior Simmie Cobbs, who missed most of last season with an injury after registering 1,035 yards on 60 catches in 2015, is uncertain for the opener after he was arrested last month.

TRENDS:

* Buckeyes are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall.
* Hoosiers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games.
* Over is 4-1 in Buckeyes last 5 games on fieldturf.
* Under is 7-3 in Hoosiers last 10 games overall.
* Underdog is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 meetings.

CONSENSUS: The road chalk Buckeyes are picking up 62 percent of the action from Covers users and the Over is picking up 67 percent of the totals wagers.

Friday's NCAAF Game of the Day: Colorado State at Colorado
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Colorado State Rams at Colorado Buffaloes (-3.5, 66.5)

Fresh off one of the more surprising turnarounds of 2016, Colorado kicks off a new season Friday in its annual Rocky Mountain Showdown contest against Colorado State in Denver. The Rams, meanwhile, don’t look to be the 44-7 pushover they were a year ago in this matchup, having opened their season with a 58-27 thumping of the Pac-12’s Oregon State in Fort Collins on Saturday.

The Buffaloes jumped from 4-9 in 2015 to 10-4 a season ago, going 8-1 in conference play en route to the Pac-12 South Division title. The season, dubbed by the program as “The Rise,” didn’t exactly have a storybook ending, though, as Colorado was crushed by Washington 41-10 in the conference championship game and routed by Oklahoma State 38-8 in the Alamo Bowl. Entering 2017, the Buffaloes are predicted to finish fourth in South by conference media members, and coach Mike MacIntyre - winner of several 2016 national coach-of-the-year honors - says it’s on his team to quiet the "one-season wonder" chatter. “We have a lot to prove,” MacIntyre said last month during his Pac-12 Media Days news conference. “We’re still a team that people don’t believe in, and we’d like for people to believe in us. The only way you do that is put back-to-back (strong seasons) together, and that’s what we plan on doing.”

TV: 8 p.m. ET, Pac-12 Network.

LINE HISTORY: Colorado opened as eight-point favorites and that number has been bet way down to -3.5. The total hit the betting boards at 66.5 and has yet to move.

INJURY REPORT:

Colorado State - OL Ben Knox (Doubtful, undisclosed), LB Deonte Clyburn (Out For Season, Calf), WR E.J. Scott (Out For Season, Knee), S Braylin Scott (Out Indefinitely, Personal)

Colorado - RB Kyle Evans (Probable, Hip), RB Donovan Lee (Out Indefinitely, Leg), WR Jaylon Jackson (Out For Season, Ankle), DB Anthony Julmisse (Out Indefinitely, Suspension)

ABOUT COLORADO (2016: 2016: 10-4 SU, 10-4 ATS, 5-9 O/U): Sophomore quarterback Steven Montez has the difficult task of replacing the school's all-time passing yards leader, Sefo Liufau, after throwing for 1,017 yards, nine touchdowns and four interceptions in 10 games (three starts) last season. He’ll have plenty of help with the Buffaloes returning their top four wide receivers, four starting offensive linemen and second-team All-Pac 12 tailback Phillip Lindsay, but there are questions on defense as Colorado must replace eight starters, including a trio of NFL draft picks in the secondary.

ABOUT COLORADO STATE (2016: 7-6 SU, 6-6-1 ATS, 7-6 O/U): The Rams opened their new and sold-out on-campus stadium in style Saturday, outscoring the visiting Beavers 34-7 in the second half. Quarterback Nick Stevens threw for 334 yards and three touchdowns, the ground game produced 191 yards and three TDs and the defense forced five turnovers, which directly led to 27 of the Rams’ 57 points. Wide receiver Michael Gallup got a good start after his preseason All-Mountain West Conference First Team recognition, hauling in 11 passes for 134 yards to post his sixth straight 100-yard receiving performance dating to last season.

TRENDS:

* Rams are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win.

* Under is 4-0 in Rams last 4 games in September.

* Under is 8-2 in Buffaloes last 10 games overall.

* Under is 8-1 in the last 9 meetings.

CONSENSUS: The home chalk Buffaloes are picking up 61 percent of the action from Covers users and the Over is picking up 62 percent of the totals wagers.

Saturday's Week 1 NCAAF Top 25 betting cheat sheet and odds

It's finally back. The first real Saturday of college football season is here and there are plenty of intriguing Top 25 matchups on the schedule, culminating with an epic showdown in Atlanta between No. 1 Alabama and No. 3 Florida State. We break down each matchup in Top 25 betting cheat sheet to help you handicap all of Saturday's best action.

Kent State Golden Flashes at No. 5 Clemson Tigers (-39.5, 51)

* Golden Flashes quarterback Nick Holley was forced into action last season after Kent State's first four QB options faltered. Holley, who played quarterback in high school, responded with 16 total touchdowns while throwing for 868 yards and passing for 920 more.

* Clemson was a defensive juggernaut last season, with the base defense - the 4-3 Over - resulting in the Tigers leading the nation in tackles for a loss for the fourth year in a row. The Tigers also limited FBS opponents to a 28.4% conversion rate on third down, the fourth-best mark in Division I.

LINE HISTORY: The defending champs my have lost Deshaun Watson, but that hasn't stopped the public from backing the Tigers. Oddsmakers opened Clemson at -38.5 and they were bet up to -40, before being bought back to the current number of -39.5. The total opened at 51.5 and has been bet down a half-point to 51.

TRENDS:

* Kent State is 2-7 ATS in its last nine games on grass.
* Clemson is 4-0 ATS in its last four non-conference games.
* Under is 4-1 in Kent State's last five games vs. ACC opponents.
* Under is 6-0 in Clemson's last six games in September.

Akron Zips at No. 6 Penn State Nittany Lions (-30.5, 66)

* Akron's offense will receive a boost with the return of senior quarterback Thomas Woodson (2,079 yards, 18 touchdowns, six interceptions), who was limited to seven games due to injury but is now 100 percent. The Zips' defense allowed 6.1 yards per play, good four 94th in Division I.

* Penn State quarterback Trace McSorley (3,614 yards, 28 passing TDs, nine interceptions, seven rushing TDs), was responsible for 13 TDs in the Nittany Lions' last three games of 2016. A much-improved offensive line was a major catalyst, limiting foes to 1.7 sacks per game after giving up three per contest a season earlier.

LINE HISTORY: Penn State opened as high as -35 for this matchup at some books, but bettors brought that number down almost immediately. The line has moved 4.5-points to the current number of Penn State -30.5. The total on the other hand has gone up significantly, moving 2.5-points from the opening number of 63.5 to the current number of 66.

TRENDS:

* Akron is 1-4 in its last five meetings.
* Penn State is 5-0-1 ATS in its last six home games.
* Over is 4-0 in Akron's last four non-conference games.
* Over is 5-0 in Penn State's last five games in September.

Maryland Terrapins at No. 23 Texas Longhorns (-19, 56)

* The Terrapins have had a quarterback hold the starting job for an entire season just twice in the past 13 seasons. Last year's QB see-saw led to inconsistent results through the air, with Maryland ranked 77th in yards per completion (12.0), 83rd in QB rating (123.0) and 114th in third-down conversion rate (32.5%).

* The Longhorns' defense will need to see dramatic improvements after struggling in 2016. Last year's group underachieved, leading to Texas giving up 23 first downs per game (89th-best in Division I) and allowing a collective opposing passer rating of 138.1 (85th).

LINE HISTORY: The Longhorns opened as 17-point favorites for their matchup with the Terrapins and bettors are backing head coach Tom Herman in his first game as head football coach, moving the line to Texas -19. The total has not moved off the opening number of 56.

TRENDS:

* Maryland is 0-6 ATS in its last six road games.
* Texas is 1-4 ATS in its last five vs. Big Ten opponents.
* Under is 4-1-1 in Maryland's last six non-conference games.
* Under is 7-0 in Texas' last seven games overall.

UTEP Miners at No. 7 Oklahoma Sooners (-43, 63)

* A bigger contribution from star quarterback Ryan Metz is at the top of the Miners' agenda in 2016. Metz (64.7% completion rate, 1,375 yards, 14 touchdowns, four interceptions) fared well overall, but his performance couldn't prevent UTEP from finishing in the Conference USA basement in attempts (327), completions (195) and total passing yards (2,204).

* The Sooners racked up 7.4 yards per offensive play in 2016; that number didn't waver depending on the location, with Oklahoma gaining 7.4 yards per play at home and 7.3 on the road. But the Sooners allowed opponents to convert 42.6% of their third downs in FBS action last season - ranking them 85th nationally.

LINE HISTORY: Oddsmakers opened the Sooners as massive 45 point favorites at some books, but bettors are a little weary with a number so big and it being the first game with no Bob Stoops, moving the line to Sooners -43. The total is up a half-point from the opening number of 62.5 to 63.

TRENDS:

* UTEP is 4-12 in its last 16 games vs. Big 12 opponents.
* Oklahoma is 5-0 ATS in its last five home games.
* Over is 5-2 in UTEP's last seven games overall.
* Under is 5-0 in Oklahoma's last five home games.

No. 17 Florida Gators vs. No. 8 Michigan Wolverines (-4.5, 43)

* The Wolverines led Division I in fewest yards allowed per game last season (216.7), but lost Taco Charlton, Ryan Glasgow and Chris Wormley, who combined for 19 1/2 sacks and 31 1/2 tackles for loss. The loss of Jake Butt, Amara Darboh and Jehu Chesson forces Michigan to account for 138 receptions, 1,908 yards and 13 touchdowns.

* A handful of 2016 starters have departed a Florida defense that limited opponents to a Division I-best 92.9 passer rating. Struggles on the other side of the football persisted, with the Gators finishing 79th in the nation in passing yards per game (215.8).

LINE HISTORY: This line has seen plenty of action. The Wolverines opened as about a 3-point favorite, were bet as high low as -2 and as high as -5.5. They are currently 4.5-point favorites. The total hit the board at 45 and has been bet down 2-points to the current number of 43.

TRENDS:

* Florida is 1-7 ATS in its last eight non-conference games.
* Michigan is 4-1 ATS in its last five games in September.
* Under is 4-0 in Florida's last four non-conference games.
* Over is 5-0 in Michigan's last five non-conference games.

Western Michigan Broncos at No. 4 USC Trojans (-26.5, 58)

* The Broncos ranked 11th in the NCAA in points per game (39.3), largely in the strength of two players - quarterback Zach Terrell and receiver Corey Davis - who have moved on. Look for an even greater emphasis on a run game that produced nearly 219 yards per game in 2016.

* The Trojans' success hinges on quarterback Sam Darnold, who had a 67.2% completion rate, more than 3,000 passing yards, 31 TDs and just nine interceptions. The USC rushing game was also robust in 2016, averaging 5.1 yards per carry - well ahead of the 4.5 YPC mark it posted in 2015.

LINE HISTORY: Oddsmakers opened the Trojans as about 26-point favorites for their opener and bettors backed USC up to -27.5. But since then, the number has come back down to USC -26.5. Most books opened the total around 58, which is where the number currently sits.

TRENDS:

* Western Michigan is 10-1 ATS in its last 11 games in September.
* USC is 6-1 ATS in its last seven games overall.
* Over is 4-1 in Western Michigan's last five games on grass.
* Under is 5-1 in USC's last six home games.

Appalachian State Mountaineers at No. 15 Georgia Bulldogs (-14.5, 45.5)

* The Mountaineers boasted a rushing attack that finished eighth in Division I in rushing yards per game (256.9) and sixth in yards per attempt (5.9). The centerpiece of that vaunted ground assault, junior Jalin Moore, will look to build upon his 1,402-yard, 10-touchdown showing from last year.

* The Bulldogs have a clear strength coming into the 2017 season, and that's on defending the run. Georgia has nine returning linemen on a defense that was borderline-elite in 2016, ranking in the top 30 in both rushing and passing S & P+.

LINE HISTORY: Early on bettors were on the always upset-minded Mountaineers, moving the line from +14.5 all the way down to +12. But since then, bettors have bought back the Bulldogs, with the current number at Georgia -14.5.

TRENDS:

* Appalachian State is 13-3 ATS in its last 16 road games.
* Georgia is 1-4 ATS in its last five home games.
* Under is 6-1 in Appalachian State's last six games on grass.
* Over is 8-1 in Georgia's last nine games vs. Sun Belt opponents.

Georgia Southern Eagles at No. 12 Auburn Tigers (-34, 59.5)

* The Eagles were one of the most run-heavy teams in the nation last season (67.1% rush rate) but only ranked 35th in rushing yards per game (207.0). Redshirt freshman QB Shai Werts will look to improve upon Georgia Southern's 119.1 proficiency rating from a year ago.

* Purdue surrendered an obscene 39.5 points per game in 2016 while allowing opponents to convert more than 49 percent of their third-down situations. The Boilermakers threw the ball nearly 63 percent of the time but averaged just under 300 yards per game, barely inside the top 20 nationally.

LINE HISTORY: The Cardinals opened as high as -27 at some shops, but it has been the Boilermakers seeing most of the action. The number got as low as Louisville -24, before getting bought back to the current number of -25. The total hit board at 68.5 and just bounced around that number, currently at 68.

No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide vs. No. 3 Florida State Seminoles (+7, 49.5)

The Seminoles were flagged an average of 7.8 times for 74 yards per game in 2016, ranking them among the worst offenders in the nation.

* The Crimson Tide led the nation in fewest yards per carry allowed (2.0) and fewest yards per game against (63.9). The offense will see six returning starters, including standout quarterback Jalen Hurts (2,780 yards, 23 passing TDs, 13 rushing TDs) and leading rusher Damien Harris (1,040 yards, 7.2 YPC).

No. 13 LSU Tigers vs. BYU Cougars at (+14.5, 47)

* Hot on the heels of a terrific ground effort in 2016, the Cougars picked up where they left off, piling up 171 rushing yards in last week's 20-6 drubbing of Portland State. BYU ranked second in the nation last year in red-zone conversion rate (95.9%), and led Division I in turnovers forced per game (2.5).

* The Tigers' ground game is in great hands with junior running back Derrius Guice (1,387 yards, 15 touchdowns, 7.2 YPC). Senior Danny Etling (2,123 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, five interceptions) will get first crack at elevating an LSU passing game that finished 93rd in the nation in yards per contest (195.8).

No. 22 West Virginia Mountaineers vs. No. 21 Virginia Tech Hokies (-4, 51.5)

* The Mountaineers called a run on nearly 57 percent of their plays last season, but that should shrink with the addition of former Florida Gators quarterback Will Grier. That said, West Virginia will still lean on a run game that ranked 25th in the nation in yards per game (227.8) and 28th in yards per carry (5.2).

* The Hokies boasted a top-30 scoring offense last season (34.9 points per game) but are replacing quarterback Jerod Evans (3,552 passing yards, 846 rushing yards, 41 total TDs) with redshirt freshman Josh Jackson. The Hokies allowed foes to convert on third down just 28.6 percent of the time (fifth-best nationally).

LINE HISTORY: Oddmakers think this will be one of the closest games this weekend opening with the Hokies favored by a field goal. They have since been bet up one point to the current number of Virginia Tech -4. The under has seen some action here, with the number hitting the board around 54.5, it is currently down to 51.5.
