College Football Week 1 Bets: A rare Sunday game has caught my eye. Preseason No. 8 Mississippi Rebels (ole Miss) at Memphis Tigers is a big game for the Rebels as expectations are high after upsetting No. 1 Florida last year. Former coach Ed Orgeron brought a lot of talent into Mississippi, but it took Houston Nutt to turn that talent into victories. Ole Miss ended the 2008 campaign on a six game winning streak and that does not even count their win over Florida.
There are some big losses on both lines, but everybody in the SEC will be keeping a close eye on the Rebels as their expectations go through the roof. Sorry Memphis! College Football Week 1 Bets at online sportsbook Bodog.com have the Mississippi Rebels -17 point favorites against the Memphis Tigers.
Without NFL Monday Night Football this upcoming week, we are treated to a heated Florida ACC match up with the Miami Hurricanes at Tallahassee to take on the preseason No. 18 Florida State Seminoles. The big question for FSU is how long will it take for the defense to turn into the same unit that ranked 15th in the nation in total defense last year? Linebacker Dekoda Watson will be a star and defensive end Kevin McNeil, while not at the same level of Brown, can cause some havoc in the backfield. For the Miami Hurricanes, the skill players on both sides of the ball can start playing like upperclassmen, this will be a dangerous team on any given day. But they can also play like underclassmen just as easily and that means they could lose some games that they should not be losing. Take the Home team! College Football Week 1 Bets at online sportsbook Bodog.com have the FSU Seminoles -6.5 points against the Miami Hurricanes.
Another earlier Monday match up has Big East foes Cincinnati Bearcats at Rutgers Scarlett Knights in New Jersey. Some may say that Cincinnati took advantage of a weak Big East and waltzed into a BCS game. However, the Bearcats pulled off some tough games, like at West Virginia and at Louisville. If any team in the Big East can win against the Mountaineers and the Cardinals on the road, they deserve a Big East title. Coach Brian Kelly is just heading into his third year at the helm and the good times should continue to roll. This should be a good game! College Football Week 1 Bets at online sportsbook Bodog.com have Rutgers -5 point favorites against Cincinnati.
