WILLEMSTAD, CURACAO (August 18, 2006)—While the kickoff to the 2006 NCAA
football season isn’t for another two weeks, fans can already get in on
the action on all of the season’s big games at PinnacleSports . The
largest sports betting site on the Internet, PinnacleSports has
already opened wagering on every game taking place during the first week
of the college football as well as on several marquee match-ups taking
place each week of the NCAA season.
The first day of college games takes place on Thursday, August 31st with
Steve Spurrier’s South Carolina Gamecocks traveling to conference rival
Mississippi State where PinnacleSports lists the host Bulldogs as 6
point underdogs in Starkville. On the first Saturday of games, Heisman
hopeful Brady Quinn and Notre Dame kick off the second season of the
Charlie Weis regime at Georgia Tech where the Fighting Irish are 7.5 point
favorites. The biggest match-up of the opening week pits in-state rivals
Miami (Florida) and Florida State squaring off in the Orange Bowl where
the Hurricanes are favored by 3.5 points over the Seminoles.

find lines on all of the biggest games at PinnacleSports.”
