Finally the College Football season gets underway and many of the pollsters have the Georgia Bulldogs as the number team in the country and they aren't on the schedule for Week One.
In the sports handicapping world, some of the biggest betting tips we can give the novice bettors is the famous "look ahead" game and there's a few teams who might not be 100% totally focused on their opponents in Week 1 and this creates great line value on the underdogs.
First teams we consider in our Week One College Football preview, Miami-Ohio has the mighty Michigan Wolverines on deck and could be thinking of next week's tilt with the Wolverines at the Big House in Ann Arbor, MI. Therefore, consider Vanderbilt at +4.0 this Thursday vs. the Red Hawks.
Another game you might want to consider this weekend is Virginia +19.5 vs. USC. Let's face it, the Trojans have been a power house with Pete Carroll calling the shots and with a big nationally televised game next week vs. Ohio State, Virginia at +19.5 is great value.
Here are some College Football tidbits for your consideration in Week 1.
