5 Best College Football Predictions Against The Spread: Week 1 Friday

What games appear to be the best bets and the best picks against the spread going into the Friday of Week 1 of the college football season?

2. Old Dominion at Wake Forest

LINEWake Forest -31
ATS PICK: Wake Forest

Old Dominion might not score a whole lot, and its defense will probably allow a whole lot of points.

That’s it. Thanks for coming, tip the waitstaff generously …

The Monarchs have a good new head coach in Ricky Rahne, and he’s had a full year to get his program prepared to be up and going, but the defense is all but starting from scratch.

ODU should put up a few points on the board, but Wake Forest has a loaded offensive team full of veterans. It’s going to move fast, score fast, play fast, and it’s going to put a big number up on the board in the first quarter. Old Dominion hasn’t scored more than 23 points against an FBS team since the middle of November of 2018.

31 might be a whole lot to push through, but Wake Forest should hang up that many in the first half.
