The Week 3 2013 college football odds are officially posted, and here at Bankroll Sports, we are going to be looking at some of the best games on the NCAA football lines right off the bat in Week 3 of the season.

We’ll get right into the heat of the action here at Bankroll Sports, as all eyes in Week 3 are going to be on the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Texas A&M Aggies. We all know that QB Johnny Manziel was able to go on the road last season and beat the Tide in Tuscaloosa, making him one of the rare quarterbacks who has been able to pull that out in the Head Coach Nick Saban era. Bama has been scheming all summer long for this game, and there is no doubt that the vanilla looking offense two weeks ago versus the Virginia Tech Hokies was absolutely in place because of the fact that Johnny Heisman and the Aggies were on deck. Saban rarely loses games in which he has had more than one week to prepare, and that’s why Alabama is favored by a touchdown in this one.

Before we get to the main course on Saturday though, there are some appealing appetizers that we have to dissect on Thursday and Friday. The TCU Horned Frogs are really having a nightmare of a season. They were beaten by the LSU Tigers right away in Week 1, and they lost QB Casey Pachall to an arm injury last week. Now, the Frogs have to hit the road to take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders, who are going to pose a real threat in this one. The Air Raid has been throwing the pigskin all over the field, but still, Head Coach Gary Patterson and the gang have opened up as 5.5-point favorites on the road in Lubbock.

Elsewhere on Thursday night, the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs are giving 7.5 tot he Tulane Green Wave, while the Arkansas State Red Wolves are -10 at home against the Troy Trojans in one of the first Sun Belt battles of the year.

On Friday, the Air Force Falcons are going to bring the triple option to the Smurf Turf, where the Boise State Broncos are favored by three touchdowns at the open.

Early in the rotation schedule, there are a ton of games that feature humongous point spreads. The Stanford Cardinal are laying 28.5 against the Army Black Knights on the road, making them the biggest road favorite that we have seen in a game all season long. The Rutgers Scarlet Knights are -29 against Head Coach Ron English’s Eastern Michigan Eagles. Meanwhile, the Georgia State Panthers, who are arguably the worst team in the FBS, are getting 38 against an offensively-challenged West Virginia Mountaineers outfit.

There are plenty of other major blowout projections according to the Week 3 college football odds as well. The Nevada Wolf Pack are +31 on the road against the hyped up QB Jameis Winston and the Florida State Seminoles. The Northern Illinois Huskies are traveling up to Moscow to take on the Idaho Vandals and are -24 favorites in doing so. Fresh off of their win over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the Michigan Wolverines should waltz to 3-0, as they are giving 35.5 to the Akron Zips. The Oklahoma Sooners, who have played tremendous defense thus far this season, are -37 against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane, while the Kansas State Wildcats are -37 against the Massachusetts Minutemen. The Northwestern Wildcats are eking up the rankings as the weeks go on, and they should have no troubles with the Western Michigan Broncos, who are getting 34 points in Evanston. The biggest of all of the favorites though, is the LSU Tigers for the second straight week. LSU blasted the UAB Blazers last week, and this week’s clash against the Kent State Golden Flashes in which they are -38 puts the Bayou Bengals in the same boat this week.

Not every game is projected to be a blowout though, and there are some very interesting ones on the docket. The Wisconsin Badgers, who have played virtually no one yet this season, are playing against the Pac-12’s Arizona State Sun Devils and are getting 5.5 points thanks to their massive road trip.

Keep an eye as well on the game between the Vanderbilt Commodores and the South Carolina Gamecocks. The Gamecocks were beaten last week by the Georgia Bulldogs, and they now know that they are going to have to run the table in the SEC to really have a shot at contending for the National Championship or the SEC East crown. They’re -12.5 in this one, but there aren’t many that don’t believe that Vandy, which lost its SEC opener against the Ole Miss Rebels two weeks ago, can’t contend.

In one of the better non-conference battles that isn’t garnering much attention, the UCF Knights are only +3.5 against the Penn State Nittany Lions at Beaver Stadium.

Keep an eye as well, on the USC Trojans. The Men of Troy were beaten last week by the Washington State Cougars to get knocked out of the Top 25, and they are laying a very large 16 once again at home against the Boston College Eagles. There’s a real chance if this game goes poorly, that it could be the last for Head Coach Lane Kiffin.

There aren’t a ton of tremendous games on the docket at night like there usually are on college football Saturdays, but that’s what happens when the cream of the crop game is on CBS at 3:30. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are going to be on the road in the Big Ten for the second straight week on NBC. This time, they’re going to the Purdue Boilermakers, who were very fortunate just to beat the Indiana State Sycamores last week in the home opener. Ross-Ade Stadium is going to be ready for this one, but the Boilers are getting 21.5 points. Remember that last year though, Purdue nearly sprung the upset on the road in South Bend, and this might be a lot closer of a game than the college football expert handicappers suggest.

The ‘totals’ have generally gotten a heck of a lot higher over the course of this week. There are a number of games that are highlighted in the 60s and even the 70s. Right away on Thursday, the TCU game and the Troy game are both in the 60s. The Horned Frogs game features a number of 63 in spite of the fact that it seems like a pair of backup quarterbacks are going to be playing, but the higher number is the 67 in the Sun Belt game.

It might seem like the 69 in the game between the Ohio Bobcats and the Marshall Thundering Herd is high, and it might seem like the 70 on the college football odds between the Fresno State Bulldogs and Colorado Buffaloes are high, but not surprisingly, the Oregon Ducks feature the highest ‘total’ on the board. The Ducks and the Tennessee Volunteers are sitting at 72 right now, and with as badly as the Vols have played defense and for as much as the Quack Attack runs up and down the field, we definitely aren’t doubting that this game could get to the number.

On the lower end of things, Stanford’s high octane defense can shut down anyone in the country, and it’s not surprising that the number is 46 against Army. The lowest number though, is the 43 on the NCAA football odds between the anemic USC Trojans and the Boston College Eagles. Neither of these teams have any real chance to get the job done in the passing game, so it’s going to take a lot on the ground to reach this relatively low number.

There is a heck of a lot that has been made out of the game on the Week 3 college football schedule between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Texas A&M Aggies. Today, we’re going to be breaking down some of the college football props for what should be one of the very best games of the season here in the SEC.

AJ McCarron Passing Yards Over/Under 235.5 – Last season, McCarron threw the rock for 309 yards in the game against A&M, though without a 54-yard touchdown pass to WR Amari Cooper, it’s anyone’s guess as to what would have happened. A&M’s defense has been shoddy thus far this season, and though the passing yards really aren’t there, teams are averaging 6.79 yards per pass attempt. Heck, Sam Houston State averaged nearly 10 yards per attempt just last week. McCarron didn’t look good in his first game of the season, going just 10-of-23 for 110 yards with a TD and a pick, but he is probably going to have to do a lot more offensively in this game to succeed. Remember that last season, the junior threw for an average of just 209.5 pass yards per game, but there were a few examples when he really had to, that he threw for over 250 yards, including when he went off for 264 yards in the National Championship Game against Notre Dame. It’s going to be an interesting one, but we think behind a sometimes shaky looking offensive line, McCarron is going to get to this number. AJ McCarron Over 235.5 Passing Yards (-115)

AJ McCarron Over/Under 2.5 Touchdowns + Interceptions: Though we do tend to think that there are going to be some yards thrown for in this game, we aren’t so sure what the oddsmakers are thinking by planning on McCarron scoring a combination of at least three TDs and INTs in this game. The senior was only picked off three times all of last season, and two of those came against the Aggies. Think that he is going to be making those mistakes again? We certainly think not. McCarron did make it past this 2.5 TDs + INTs six times last season in 14 games, but we just don’t know if this is going to be one of those examples where that happens. The oddsmakers are blowing this up. RB TJ Yeldon might get to three scores, but we aren’t so sure that McCarron will. AJ McCarron Under 2.5 Touchdowns + Interceptions (-110)

TJ Yeldon Over/Under 104.5 Rushing Yards: Again, we have some major questions that we have to ask about the Texas A&M defense. The team allowed Sam Houston State to rush for 240 yards on the ground last week, and it gave up 306 yards to Rice. And the oddsmakers think that the Tide are going to end up with less than 200 yards on the ground? Asking Yeldon to carry half the load isn’t all that unfair by any stretch of the imagination, and we think that he is going to get the job done with flying colors. In fact, with RB Eddie Lacy out of the way, we wouldn’t be all that shocked if Yeldon managed to double this rushing total in this game if the Aggies are going to struggle this badly up front along the defensive line. Alabama’s offensive line isn’t nearly as good as it was last season, but it isn’t going to have to be against a much weaker Texas A&M defensive line to boot. TJ Yeldon Over 104.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

Johnny Manziel Over/Under 93.5 Rushing Yards: Wow that’s a darn big number! Manziel was great last season, accounting for 92 yards on the ground, but we can’t imagine that he is going to flirt with triple digits again this year. Remember that sacks count against his rushing total, and now the Tide know just how fast he is to the outside when he gets on the loose. Manziel simply has to play a more contained version of his game from last season, and accounting for all those rushing yards is going to be really tough against a team that isn’t going to allow 93.5 rushing yards per game on average this season, let alone to just one quarterback. Johnny Manziel Under 93.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

Johnny Manziel Rushing + Passing Yards in 2013 (-27.5) vs. Johnny Manziel Rushing + Passing Yards in 2012 (+27.5): Essentially, that puts the over/under at the total number of yards that Johnny Football is going to come up with in this game at 372.5 all by himself without any progress by any of his other teammates. Wow. Alabama’s defense is going to possibly give up half of that per game this year. This unit held down an experienced QB Logan Thomas to 5-of-26 passing for 59 yards two weeks ago, and only two passes went for more than six yards. Now, we know that Manziel will do better than that, but we don’t see him just running up and down the field the whole game by any stretch of the imagination. This is a really tough one to try to get to, and Manziel isn’t going to do it against the Crimson Tide. Johnny Manziel 2012 Rushing + Passing Yards in 2012 (+27.5) vs. Rushing + Passing Yards in 2013 (-115)

Our New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys picks are set and ready to go at Bankroll Sports, but if you’re looking for a bit of a different way to take advantage of some of the Sunday Night Football prop bets, you’ve come to the right place. Today, we’re going to be breaking down some of the best NFL props on the board for Sunday Night Football, all of which come courtesy of Diamond Sportsbook.

Longest Touchdown in the Game Over 47.5 Yards – Last year when these two played, there wasn’t a single touchdown that went for more than 40 yards. That being said, this time around, we see a lot of potential, especially on New York’s side. The preseason opened up with a bomb of a touchdown from QB Eli Manning to WR Victor Cruz, and the matchup is there for that same thing to happen again in this one. Cruz is going to be running free in the slot quite a bit, especially with Dallas likely blitzing on over half of the team’s passing downs. Add in there the fact that RB DeMarco Murray has a keen nose for the big time play, and the makings are there that there will be at least one of these really long touchdowns when push comes to shove on Sunday Night Football.

DeMarco Murray -5.5 Rushing + Receiving Yards vs. David Wilson – We would have loved this NFL prop bet even more had RB Andre Brown not broken his leg in the preseason. That being said though, Head Coach Tom Coughlin very well could be counting on more than just Wilson to tote the rock in this one, and he might have to behind a very suspect offensive line that is going to likely be missing both C David Baas and T David Diehl. Murray is a man that is running with gusto right now, and ever since he was benched for that fumble in the preseason, he has been a man on a mission. We have a great feeling that Murray is going to be rumbling for at least 100 yards in this one, while Wilson might struggle to ever really get traction. Murray is clearly the better bet here.

Victor Cruz +12.5 Receiving Yards vs. Dez Bryant – Bryant catches absolutely everything that comes his way, but we aren’t all that sure that Cruz isn’t the better bet here. We’ve already highlighted the possibility that the salsa dancing star can make things happen in the slot in this one against a Dallas secondary that is relatively suspect, but we want to focus in on Bryant here. Last season in two games versus the G-Men, Bryant had just a total of nine catches. Yes, those nine catches did go for some big time yardage numbers, but even getting to 100 might not necessarily be enough in this one. We know that the Giants know what’s coming this week with Bryant (and Miles Austin) on the outside. What we don’t know is whether Cruz, who had two lackluster games last season against Dallas, can be stopped with the new blitzing scheme that is going to be in place for the boys from “Big D.”

And here we are at the start of the 2013 NFL betting campaign! The opening kickoff is right here upon us, and that means that there are plenty of NFL betting lines to discuss. Join us for a brief discussion of the NFL Week 1 pointspreads and check out how NFL line movements have looked as we have counted down to the start of the season.

Normally speaking, the defending Super Bowl champs open up the year in front of their hometown crowd. However, this time around, the Baltimore Ravens are going to be on the road. They are going to visit the Denver Broncos in a rematch of the divisional round of the playoffs last year between these two teams. There is no way that this game can be as epic as the game that these two played last January, but QB Joe Flacco is going to try to pull off yet another upset in what could be a great game. As interesting as it is, Baltimore is the biggest underdog on the board on the Week 1 odds at +9. This is a completely unique situation that you’ll probably never see again with the Lombardi Trophy holders underdogs by one of the biggest margin on the board in the opening week of the campaign.

When the calendar moves to the first Sunday of the regular season, there are going to be some tremendous games. There isn’t a single game that is featuring an NFL point spread of more than seven points. Not surprisingly, the teams that are the big favorites are the ones that were in the playoffs and competing for playoff spots last season, and the teams that are the big underdogs are all teams that didn’t get into the second season and weren’t particularly close.

There are a relatively high amount of road favorites in Week 1, though there is only one team that is favored by more than a field goal on the road. The New England Patriots, in spite of the fact that they are going to likely be coming into that first game without any of the top receivers from last year’s team, are laying nine points on the road to Orchard Park, where they have historically struggled with the Buffalo Bills. The Bills though, are using their first round pick, QB EJ Manuel in Week 1 of the season. It’s tough to think that he is going to be able to stand toe-to-toe with one of the best teams in the league. It’s not all that often you see a team getting nearly double digits of points at home all that often on the Week 1 NFL Vegas odds either. This line has had the most movement all week, and it isn’t even close, as New England has gone from an open at -6.5 up as high as 12.5 when QB Jeff Tuel was a possible starter, back to -9 where it sits now, and the oddsmakers could be in for a world of hurt in this game.

The Indianapolis Colts, in the second year of the QB Andrew Luck era, are laying a 9.5 against the Oakland Raiders in Week 1 as well, while the Pittsburgh Steelers are giving 7 to the Tennessee Titans.

Every other game on the docket enters this week with a spread of 4.5 points or fewer on the NFL betting lines.

Interestingly enough, all of the games that are involving a pair of NFC teams are relatively closely lined. The only game of the bunch between a pair of NFC teams that features more than a 4.5-point NFL spread is the clash between the St. Louis Rams and the Arizona Cardinals. QB Sam Bradford and the gang are 4.5-point favorites hosting Head Coach Bruce Arians in his first game as the head coach of the Cards. Arizona will also be debuting a new quarterback, as QB Carson Palmer heads to the desert to try to resurrect the franchise.

There are some huge divisional games on the first Sunday of the season. The Atlanta Falcons are the favorites in the NFC South this year, but they are going to have a heck of a lot of company. The team is going to have to go on the road to the Bayou for what should be a tremendously emotional game against the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are going to be happy to introduce Head Coach Sean Payton once again after coming back from his year-long suspension, and you can bet that he is going to want to send a message to the rest of the league by winning this first one against the team that hosted the NFC Championship Game last season. Interestingly enough, the oddsmakers think that these two teams are on level terms, knowing that New Orleans is favored by just the value of home field advantage, three points.

The Minnesota Vikings are 4.5-point underdogs against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field, while on Sunday Night Football, the Dallas Cowboys are giving a field goal against the New York Giants. Again, the teams in the NFC East are relatively close to each other in the eyes of the oddsmakers, and only be the fact that the Giants feature -115 at -3 can you really tell that they are they are considered to the slightly better of the two teams. QB Eli Manning is going to be excited to get this season underway, knowing that the Giants are essentially hosting the Super Bowl this year at MetLife Stadium. A win over the Cowboys on the road would be an awesome start to the season for the Super Bowl 46 winners.

The biggest game on Sunday though, features the Green Bay Packers against the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners started off last season’s run to the Super Bowl by going to Lambeau Field and beating Green Bay, a win that really set the tone for the whole season. These two teams last met in the postseason, a game in which the 49ers won 45-31. The Pack are going to want a tremendous amount of revenge on San Francisco, but they are going to have a tough time doing it at Candlestick Park, where the Niners went 7-1-1 SU and 5-4 ATS last season. Green Bay is going to get a 4.5-point head start from the oddsmakers though, and the hope is that that is going to be enough to at least snare a cover. If the team doesn’t get its defense in order though (the Pack allowed over 500 rushing yards in two games against the 49ers last year), there is no hope.

As always on the first Monday of the season, there are a pair of Monday Night Football games. The first of the two games pits the Washington Redskins against the Philadelphia Eagles. Knowing that Head Coach Chip Kelly is going to do with his offense is still impossible, and knowing whether QB Robert Griffin III is going to be able to play effectively is also impossible. That said, at least we know at this point that QB Michael Vick will be going against RG3 in what will be a clash of two of the most athletic pivots in the league. How that is going to translate on the field is still a mystery. Still, Washington is giving 3.5 points on the first Monday Night Football game of the season at FedEx Field, though the last time we saw the Skins on the field, they were getting beaten at home in the first round of the playoffs. Philly though, is coming off of one of the worst ATS seasons in the history of the league at 3-12-1 ATS.

The last game of the week pits the San Diego Chargers against the Houston Texans. This is the start of the Head Coach Mike McCoy era, and Bolts fans are going to be eager to take on one of the best teams in the league. This is a tough start of the season for the Texans, who are playing under the expectations that this will be a third straight year with the AFC South title. The Texans are going to be expected to be healthy going into the start of the year, which is why QB Matt Schaub and the gang are giving a field goal and a hook.

Totals are all over the place in Week 1, though the numbers are generally a lot higher than we are used to seeing after one of football’s highest scoring years in history. Only one of the 16 games feature totals of lower than 40. The clash between the two teams that had the worst two records in football last year, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Jacksonville Jaguars are going to fight it out in the Sunshine State to start the season, and that game has a total of just 39.5. The Miami Dolphins and the Cleveland Browns, neither of which were all that close to the second season last year but both of which are hoping to take big steps in the right direction, also featured a total of 39.5 at the open, but that number has risen up to 41.

On the other end of the spectrum, there are plenty of 48+ numbers out there. The opening game of the season between the Ravens and the Broncos features a total of 48.5, while the same could be said for that big time duel between the Packers and the 49ers. The clash between Washington and Philadelphia starts off the year at 50.5.

The highest numbers of the week are in the games involving the Patriots and Bills and the Falcons and Saints. We are a bit surprised that a game between a rookie quarterback and a team with an entirely new set of receivers (New England/Buffalo) features a total of 51, even after the announcement that it was likely going to be Tuel quarterbacking in Week 1. With Manuel under center though, the game makes a heck of a lot more sense with a number this high, as the rookie out of Florida State looked good in the preseason until he was hurt. However, that number pales in comparison to the 54 between the Falcons and the Saints. That’s one of the highest numbers that we have ever seen in a Week 1 game, and this could be a heck of a battle right out of the blocks.

The 2013 NFL season is here! It’s time to take a look at the odds to win the AFC, as we break down the 16 teams that are in the thick of the fight and take a look at each of their prices to win the AFC, sponsored by WagerWeb Sportsbook, home the 200% Deposit Bonus

AFC East Odds To Win the AFC
New England Patriots +325
Miami Dolphins +2000
Buffalo Bills +5000
New York Jets +6600

It is clear that there is one team and one team only that has a chance to win the AFC out of the East, and that’s the Patriots. Miami is a trendy team, but we really don’t see any chance for Ryan Tannehill to take a team to the Super Bowl quite yet. Even New England is a bit of a stretch in our eyes, though we do think that Tom Brady is going to figure it out at some point this year even though at the start of the season, he is going to need nametags to identify anyone in his own receiving corps. The Bills could become an interesting team to watch if EJ Manuel is the second coming of Russell Wilson, while the Jets are just going to be a joke for the entire season. Even if New York does manage to win eight games and perhaps sneak into the back end of the playoffs, is Mark Sanchez (yes, the butt fumbling Mark Sanchez) going to get into the Super Bowl? We think not.

AFC North Odds To Win the AFC
Pittsburgh Steelers +1100
Baltimore Ravens +1150
Cincinnati Bengals +1250
Cleveland Browns +6000

Do you really need any further proof that the AFC North is the toughest division in the AFC to try to handicap? Three of the four teams in the foursome are between 11 and 12.50 to 1 to make it to the Super Bowl. Of course, that means that few believe that there is any chance this year for any of these teams to make it to New York, but then again, few really thought there was a chance to get the job done last year either when the Ravens not only got there, but won the whole dang thing. The problem that we have is that all of these teams just don’t look all that special when push comes to shove. Baltimore lost a ton in the offseason, and Pittsburgh is a really young looking team outside of Ben Roethlisberger. Perhaps Cincinnati is taking some steps in the right direction, and Andy Dalton might command the respect necessary to consider, but there are three huge games that this team still needs to win, and if the Bengals can’t beat the Texans, they probably aren’t going to the Super Bowl. The Browns would clearly be the biggest shocker of them all.

AFC South Odds To Win the AFC
Houston Texans +685
Indianapolis Colts +2000
Tennessee Titans +6600
Jacksonville Jaguars +15000

Is there anyone in the AFC South really capable of winning two massive games against the likes of the Patriots, Broncos, etc.? We aren’t all that sure. Houston has tried the last two seasons, and it was beaten by both Baltimore and New England relatively soundly in both instances in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. The window of opportunity is clearly closing on the Texans, especially knowing that the Colts are coming up on the outside. Indy has fast-tracked itself to the thick of the playoff race once again on an annual basis, though Andrew Luck and the gang are a long ways away from making it to the Super Bowl. Many think that Tennessee is going to be a much improved team this year with its interior offensive line being so stellar, but we’ll believe that Chris Johnson is going to look anything like CJ2K again when we believe it. Jacksonville named Blaine Gabbert as its starting quarterback this week… In other news, we’re fairly certain that the Jags have locked up a Top 5 pick in the NFL Draft, and the phone calls are already being made to Teddy Bridgewater’s agent to see what his prospects are of coming to Jacksonville next year.

AFC West Odds To Win the AFC
Denver Broncos +240
Kansas City Chiefs +2000
San Diego Chargers +2200
Oakland Raiders +10000

There isn’t a team in the AFC that looks more complete right now than Denver. The Broncos might have the best quarterback in football in Peyton Manning, and he is certainly one of the best quarterbacks in the AFC, and they have the best receiving crop in the game as well with Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker, and the newly acquired Wes Welker. There’s a chance for this defense to once again be stout as well. Kansas City has taken the most strides forward in the offseason, changing from a team that finished with the worst record in the league to one that believes it can get into the playoffs. San Diego has underachieved for years, and Norv Turner’s ousting might change all of that. Mike McCoy knows that he has a heck of a lot of work to do if he is going to bring this team back to the playoffs. The Raiders are trying to see how many more quarterbacks they can screw up over the course of the 2000s and 2010s. Matt Flynn and Terrelle Pryor seem to be the next ones in line.

The Week 2 2013 college football odds are officially posted, and here at Bankroll Sports, we are going to be looking at some of the best games on the NCAA football lines right off the bat in Week 2 of the season.

Thanks to the fact that this is also the first week of the NFL season, we know that some of the games on the college football schedule are going to be a lot less intriguing than they were in Week 1. We find that out right off the bat on Thursday when the Florida Atlantic Owls travel on the road to the East Carolina Pirates for the first time as members of Conference USA. What we learned last week about the Pirates is what we knew from them last year. This is a team that can fly all over the field with QB Shane Carden calling the shots under center, but it is also a team that is going to be in some trouble on the other side of the field. If FAU can figure out how to score some points in this game, there’s a chance for the outright upset.

Friday’s game isn’t all that intriguing either. Don’t get us wrong. This is an important one for both the Boston College Eagles and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, but it isn’t a game that is going to be all that thrilling to watch or to bet on. The oddsmakers are having a real tough time lining this one on the college football odds, but the Eagles have come into this week as a three-point favorite in a battle of two of the lesser teams in the ACC. Elsewhere on Friday night, the UCF Knights are giving 24.5 to the FIU Golden Panthers down in South Florida. The Knights opened up the week at -21 and quickly rose up to where they are at right now.

And that brings us up to Saturday, where it feels like the mass majority of the games at the FBS level don’t even involve a pair of FBS teams playing against each other. The biggest favorite of the bunch in the FBS vs. FCS games are the Clemson Tigers over the South Carolina State Bulldogs. It’s not all that surprising to see the oddsmakers giving South Carolina State a head start of 52.5 points, but is it enough? It’s going to be tough for the Tigers to really get up for this one for sure.

Interestingly enough though, there aren’t all that many games that feature tremendously lopsided college football spreads at the FBS vs. FBS level. The biggest favorite of the bunch in that mix is the LSU Tigers. The Bayou Bengals are coming off of a very impressive win in Arlington over the TCU Horned Frogs, and they are going to be coming back home to Tiger Stadium for the first time this year. They’ve got the UAB Blazers coming to town, and you know that Baton Rouge is going to be rocking at night. The Blazers are getting 34.5. LSU though, has had very little luck covering games against numbers this big, and this could be problem going forward in this game. Still, there’s no doubt that the men in white, gold, and purple are going to be 2-0 when this day is said and done with.

It’s not that every game on the docket stinks, though. There are three tremendous showcase games which are played at 12:00, 4:30, and 8:00 to spread out the day for college football betting fans.

We’ll start in the Sunshine State at high noon, where the Florida Gators are favored by a field goal over the Miami Hurricanes on the road. Florida is one of the squarer teams on the docket, knowing that they are a short road favorite against a team that is unranked (at least according to the AP Poll). However, Miami is hungry for this victory, and Head Coach Al Golden knows that it is one of the biggest spots that his team has ever been in, referring to it as the “biggest game in [his] tenure” at “The U.” This could be the day that RB Duke Johnson becomes a legitimate Heisman Trophy contender for this season in just his sophomore year.

The afternoon features the most important game of the day, as we have another situation where a team is favored by just a field goal at home. The Georgia Bulldogs are in dire need of a victory after getting beaten last week by the aforementioned Clemson Tigers, and they aren’t going to be in for an easy one this time around either. The South Carolina Gamecocks are coming to town, and the Dawgs have actually never beaten SC since QB Aaron Murray came to town three seasons ago. This is the fourth and final chance for UGA to get the job done, and if this one isn’t won, you have to think that the best this team can do is get to the Capital One Bowl this season, barring a huge collapse by the Gamecocks down the line in the SEC season. South Carolina knows that it has a team that can contend for a National Championship though, and this is a glorious opportunity to capitalize and firmly into the Top 5 in the land in both polls.

Is the game between the Michigan Wolverines and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish one of the biggest rivalries in college football? That’s the question that has been bantered around all week between these two as they embark upon their last game in this series that will be played in Ann Arbor. It’s a rare game under the lights, and the crowd at the Big House is going to be rocking and rolling for this one. QB Devin Gardner and the Wolverines have high hopes for a National Championship this year and a run at Ohio State for the Big Ten title. Notre Dame though, has won 13 straight regular season games dating back to last season, easily the best mark in the country. The Golden Domers are getting four points, and that’s a scary little number to be getting in a game that could be back and forth the whole way as it was the last time that these two met at Michigan Stadium.

There is an unusually high amount of road favorites in Week 2 on the college football odds. We have already spoken about Florida, but other teams like the Houston Cougars (-3 @ Temple), Cincinnati Bearcats (-8 @ Illinois), Utah State Aggies (-9.5 @ Air Force), Duke Blue Devils (-6 @ Memphis), Texas Longhorns (-7.5 @ BYU Cougars), Bowling Green Falcons (-7.5 @ Kent State), and Arizona Wildcats (-10.5 @ UNLV) are also favored. The biggest road favorites of the weekend are the Oklahoma State Cowboys, though the Pokes are going to want to be careful with this one. They have the Texas San Antonio Roadrunners, who have been wildly successful over the course of their first season and change here at the FBS level. This is the first time that a big time conference team has ever come to the Alamodome, and the student section for this game is going to be delirious. We don’t think that the Roadrunners are winning this game, but there is a good chance that they stick inside of the 26.5-point college football Vegas lines.

‘Totals’ this week are interesting as well. The oddsmakers haven’t really taken any bold steps into the 70s or into the low-40s, but there are some games of note.

One of the lowest ‘totals’ of the weekend pits the Bowling Green Falcons against the Kent State Golden Flashes. Only 45.5 are expected to hit the board in that game, and that is only one of the six games all weekend long that are lined in the 40s. Keep an eye on the clash between the Michigan State Spartans and the South Florida Bulls as well. That game is lined at 44, and it is the lowest mark of the weekend by a relatively big 1.5-point margin. Neither one of these teams showed much of anything offensively last week, and it could be a tough day for both on that side of the ball once again.

The highest ‘total’ of the week is only 67.5. There are plenty of games in the mid-60s, but the highest of the bunch involves the Navy Midshipmen and the Indiana Hoosiers. These two are high flying teams that can score a lot of points, but neither has a defense of any note whatsoever. Still, that’s a lot to ask for a game this early in the season, especially with two clubs who tend to be all over the map in terms of wins and losses. There is a ton of inconsistency on both sides.

The 2013 college football odds are officially posted, and here at Bankroll Sports, we are going to be looking at some of the best games on the NCAA football lines right off the bat in Week 1 of the season.

The first day of games kicks off on Thursday night, and though there isn’t a heck of a lot on the docket of major note, the No. 6 team in the country is in action. As has almost certainly become a tradition, the South Carolina Gamecocks are going to open up on the first night of the season, this time at home against the North Carolina Tar Heels. It’s a chance for the ACC to make a big statement to the SEC, but it’s a statement that isn’t likely to be made. SEC teams have a history of destroying their ACC foes in games like this, but this time around, at least the college football point spreads are modest, as SC is favored by 11.

The mass majority of the college football odds on Thursday night are lopsided, though the one game that is a conference tussle certainly isn’t. The Ole Miss Rebels are giving just 3.5 in a very dangerous game against the Vanderbilt Commodores, who are certainly on the rise. The boys in Nashville have a lot of growing up to do in a hurry, as they have a very young team that lost a lot of pieces to the puzzle last year, and going against Head Coach Hugh Freeze and the Rebs will be no easy task.

The other showcase game of Saturday pits a pair of Beehive State foes against one another. This is as good of a chance as the Utah State Aggies have had of going into Salt Lake City and beating the Utah Utes as they have had in recent memory, and they are only 2.5-point underdogs in this one.

Friday’s relation short slate doesn’t feature much in the way of great teams that are in action either. The biggest point spread of the bunch in FBS vs. FBS games is the 32.5 that the Miami Hurricanes are giving to the Florida Atlantic Owls. There really aren’t a ton of dangerous games in the bunch, as there are only a pair of games that even pit FBS teams against each other. The other game on the Week 1 odds that will be contested between major foes is the ESPN game in the Lone Star State between the SMU Mustangs and the Texas Tech Red Raiders. This is the closest game of the night for sure, and a very talented and hyped up TT side is going to be a five-point favorite in this one.

And now, we get to the main course of the first weekend of college football action, as this first Saturday of the season pits some big time teams against one another.

The best game of the day is likely the duel between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Clemson Tigers. These two teams both have National Championship aspirations, and there is a good chance that even the loser of this one is going to be ranked in the Top 10 in the country when this game is over with. For much of the offseason, Georgia was the slight underdog to Clemson in what could be a coming out party for QB Tajh Boyd as he starts his Heisman Trophy campaign as a senior. However, the tide has turned in favor of QB Aaron Murray and the Bulldogs, who are laying two points in what should be a remarkable game.

Speaking of the Tide, the Alabama Crimson Tide are starting their National Championship defense in style as well. They’re going to be playing against the Virginia Tech Hokies on a neutral field. The game won’t be the easiest, but regardless of who Alabama has been playing out of conference of late, the results haven’t been pretty for the opposition. Ask Penn State what it thought of its two-game series with the Tide. V-Tech has already learned the hard way that Alabama is obviously legit, and the idea of the Hokies challenging in this one as 18.5-point underdogs is difficult to fathom.

The LSU Tigers are the third SEC team taking on a legit foe in Week 1 of the campaign. The Bayou Bengals are playing in the only other Top 25 clash against the TCU Horned Frogs in Arlington in what could feel like a little bit of a home field advantage for TCU. Expect there to be a lot of defense in this game for sure, as both of these teams ratchet up the pressure on the opposition quite a bit. LSU is favored by four points, but it seems to be a tenuous NCAA football point spread to say the least.

As always, there are a share of stinkers that are out there as well, many of which pit FBS teams up against significantly weaker FCS teams. The biggest favorite of the bunch are not surprisingly the Oregon Ducks, who run up the score on everyone that they can. They’ve got nine touchdowns to cover against the Nicholls State Colonels in the first game of the year, and that makes the Quack Attack the biggest favorites of the weekend.

That said, Oregon isn’t the only team that is favored by ridiculously huge margins. Just in FBS vs. FBS games alone, we have spreads of 44.5 (Wisconsin over Massachusetts), 35.5 (Ohio State over Buffalo), 30 (Notre Dame over Temple), 42 (Texas over New Mexico State) and 28 (Nebraska over Wyoming).

Totals in Week 1 are relatively low as they usually are, but there are some that stand out for sure. As we already mentioned in that Clemson/Georgia game, there is a huge emphasis put on points in this one. Both Boyd and Murray have the ability to get the ball up the field in a hurry. That’s why this game features the highest total of the weekend at 72.5. No other game tops 70, though by the time the Miami Redhawks and the Marshall Thundering Herd kick it off, they might ultimately get there.

On the other end of the spectrum, there aren’t any games in Week 1 that feature totals in the 30s quite yet, though we do know that there are plenty of games that will end as such. The 45.5 in the Alabama/Virginia Tech game is easily the lowest of the weekend.

However, we’re not done yet! As we move forward to Sunday and Monday, there are still college football games on the schedule to talk about!

On Sunday, the Louisville Cardinals have a trickier-than-it-seems battle with the Ohio Bobcats. The Bobcats are no joke, and they have beaten their share of big time teams in the past. They’re getting 20.5 in this one, and an upset in this game would immediately permanently derail any National Championship hopes that the newly formed AAC favorites have. Elsewhere on Sunday, the Colorado State Rams are favored by 2.5 over the Colorado Buffaloes in one of the most underwhelming instate rivalries that we have in college football.

As has become a tradition, Monday Night Football on Labor Day pits a pair of teams from the ACC against each other. This year though, we have a newcomer to the scene, as the Pitt Panthers are going to be flying the ACC flag for the first time in this home game at Heinz Field. The competition really couldn’t get much tougher though, as they are welcoming in the Florida State Seminoles. The Noles are going to be debuting QB Jameis Winston in this one, the man that could be the next coming of QB Johnny Manziel, and they are giving 10. This is a dangerous game for FSU though, as the Seminoles have a history of punting away games like this which they seem to have no business doing.
