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.

It’s time to start looking ahead at the National Football League. The first Sunday of the season is always the hardest, due to the unknown of all the teams. It should be a fun weekend of football. Let’s take a look at some of the Vegas odds for Week 1 of the NFL season:

While there are 13 games to be played on Sunday, do not forget about the first game of the season. This game features two talented teams. The Pittsburgh Pirates are at the New England Patriots. New England is without Tom Brady, while the Steelers will be without Le’Veon Bell. The Patriots are -3 over the Steelers. In the first wave of games on Sunday, the biggest rivalry game features two NFC North teams, as the Green Bay Packers go to the Chicago Bears. Green Bay comes into the game at -6.5 over the Bears. Out of the NFC West, the back to back NFC champion Seattle Seahawks will take their talents on the road and take on the St. Louis Rams. The Seahawks are -3.5 over the Rams. Other, non divisional games feature the Indianapolis Colts going on the road and taking on the Buffalo Bills. The Colts are -2 on the road in this one. The Miami Dolphins also start their season on the road. The Dolphins head to the nation’s capitol and take on the Washington Redskins. Miami is -3 for this game. Carolina and Jacksonville will take each other on in the opening weekend as well. The Jaguars will be improved, but still are home underdogs. The Carolina Panthers are -4 over the Jaguars.  Cleveland and the New York Jets will battle it out. The Jets will be looking for a quarterback as Geno Smith is out 6-8 weeks. The Jets are -3 over the Browns. Finally, the Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs project to be one of the tightest games. The Texans, despite losing Arian Foster for several weeks still are -1 over Kansas City.

We move to the afternoon wave of games. During this session of football, there are just five games to be played. The first involves the Detroit Lions at the San Diego Chargers. The Chargers come into the game at -2.5 over Detroit. The New Orleans Saints go to Arizona, and are a field goal underdog. The Denver Broncos start their season at home. They will host the Baltimore Ravens. Peyton Manning and the Broncos are -4.5 over the Ravens. Oakland stays at home and host Cincinnati. The Raiders, despite being at home are a 3.5 point underdog. The final game during the afternoon session features the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tennessee Titans. The Buccaneers, despite winning just 2 games a season ago are a field goal favorite over the Titans.

In the Sunday Night Football game, and two Monday Night Football games, the New York Giants play at the Dallas Cowboys. Then Monday, the Philadelphia Eagles are at the Atlanta Falcons and the Minnesota Vikings play at the San Francisco 49ers. The Cowboys, who many are projecting to win the NFC this season are -6 over the Giants. The Falcons are +1 at home against Philadelphia, with a total of a week 1 high of 53. Finally, in the last game of Week 1, the San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings are listed at pick’em.
