The opening weekend of NCAA Football is quickly approaching. The oddsmakers have set the lines for all the week one games. Let’s take a look at some of the biggest games for this week along with all the current lines for them.  

The first game of the season features the old ball coach Steve Spurrier & his South Carolina Gamecocks.  SC is currently listed as a mere field goal favorite over the rivaled Tar Heels of North Carolina. This opener between two talented teams should prove to be an excellent opening matchup to kick off the season. Another game on Thursday September 3rd is the Michigan Wolverines and Utah Utes. The Utes are projected to be solid in 2015, while Michigan is looking at a bit of a rebuilding now with Coach Harbaugh taking over. The Utah Utes are -5.5 over the Michigan Wolverines. The TCU Horned Frogs are a two touchdown favorite over the Big Ten’s Minnesota Golden Gophers. TCU is the favorite to win the Big 12 this season, and get into the national championship picture.

On Friday, The Baylor Bears will go on the road, and take on one of the worst teams in the country a season ago. Baylor looks to be one of the best offensive teams in all of college football once again. Baylor is -34 over Southern Methodist University. The Michigan State Spartans are another team that goes on the road in week 1. The Spartans are making sure they do not look ahead to their marquee week 2 tilt against Oregon. Michigan State is -19 at Western Michigan in Week 1. The Fighting Illini of Illinois are another Big Ten team opening up on Friday night. They will also team on a MAC squad. Illinois opened at -15.5 for this game. The final game slated on Friday night is the Boise State Broncos and the Washington Huskies. This game will be played on the blue turf. The Broncos are looking to get back as an elite contender in college football. Boise State is -10.5 over Washington.

The first Saturday of the season sees several elite top 25 matchups. The UCLA Bruins are a 17 point favorite over the Virginia Cavaliers, Stanford goes to Northwestern and are a 12 point favorite in two games featuring Pac-12 teams. The Auburn Tigers host the Louisville Cardinals are come in as 10.5 favorites. Nebraska -6.5 over BYU, Notre Dame -9.5 over Texas, Alabama -10.5 over Wisconsin, USC -28.5 over Arkansas State and in the nightcap for Saturday September 5th, the Ohio State Buckeyes, who are the defending national champions are a 10.5 point favorite over the Virginia Tech Hokies.
