1) Georgia Tech -4 vs Colorado
GT has continuity at QB and in the trenches, while Colorado lost most of its star power. Depth and experience should tilt this matchup. Laying -4 feels solid.
2) Appalachian State vs Charlotte – Over 49
Both teams have new coaches and lots of transfers, which usually means shaky defenses early. App State leans more pass-heavy now, and Charlotte has enough speed to contribute. Good setup for points.
3) Auburn vs Baylor – Under 59
Both offenses have talent, but season openers with new wrinkles often come with red-zone miscues and slower rhythm. Defense likely wins out more than expected in Week 1.
4) Western Michigan vs Michigan State – Under 49.5
Thinking this is a slower-paced game and MSU isn’t that explosive on offense so it’s a good bet to stay low.
5) Central Michigan +14 at San José State
CMU will lean run-heavy and shorten the game, while SJSU is breaking in new receivers. That combo favors keeping it within two touchdowns. Solid underdog spot.
