Week 1 college football betting picks to watch

Here are some week one college football odds to keep in mind as game day approaches.

Greetings, sports fans! I’d like to welcome you from one of the states that has benefitted the most from sports gambling: New Jersey. We here on the east coast, counting the Garden State, Pennsylvania, and the latest success story New York, are firmly behind the trend that has swept through sports. One day proud Americans from coast to coast will be able to make parlays with pride.

If you are one of those from an enlightened state in the country such as Iowa, I welcome you to join me as I take a look at some of my favorite odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook. I would like to state from the start that I am not an expert, nor a professional gambler. I am just a diehard football fan passionate about the idea and industry of sports gambling.

As always, make sure to gamble responsibly my friends.

Florida vs. Utah: Tipico’s Friday betting odds for season-opener

Just a few tweaks in the numbers on Friday ahead of the big season-opener in the Swamp.

Florida football gets set to host its season-opener against the Utah Utes on Saturday, as the Orage and Blue embark into a new era behind head coach Billy Napier and his army of staffers.

The visitors arrive in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium ranked in the top 10 in both the AP and Coaches polls and present a formidable opponent to kick off the 2022 schedule. On the other hand, Florida starts its campaign well outside the top 25 but much of that has to do with how the program crashed like a lead zeppelin at the end of Dan Mullen’s tenure.

There is a bit of a hill to climb for the Gators to get back to respectability, but many are confident in the new administration and its fresh approach to building the team. However, bookmakers such as the Tipico Sportsbook are not too bullish on Florida’s chances to start the season with a win.

The latest lines still have not changed much over the last few days though there have been a few more minor tweaks to the numbers from yesterday. Take a look below at where things currently stand.

The best prop bets for the Georgia Bulldogs in 2022

A look at the 10 best prop bets for the Georgia Bulldogs in the 2022 college football season.

It is almost time for the Georgia Bulldogs to kick off their 2022 season in which they look to defend their national championship.

The Dawgs will be led by last year’s starting quarterback [autotag]Stetson Bennett[/autotag] once again. He returned to Athens and won the job from former USC QB J.T. Daniels, who is now at West Virginia.

The team also returns the leading receiver, tight end [autotag]Brock Bowers[/autotag]. He and [autotag]Arik Gilbert[/autotag] should provide a nice one-two punch in the passing game for Bennett.

Defensively, they will be led by standout cornerback [autotag]Kelee Ringo[/autotag] and [autotag]Nolan Smith[/autotag]. It all begins with the Oregon Ducks showdown in Atlanta, Georgia.

Oregon-Georgia Betting Odds per Tipico

Line: Georgia  (-16.5)

O/U: 53.5

Money Line: Oregon (+550) | Georgia (-800)

All prop bet odds via Tipico. Colorado and New Jersey residents can make their season-opening prop bets here at Tipico Sportsbook.

As the season sets to kick off, we break down the top 10 prop bets for the 2022 college football season.

College football Week 1 Thursday night best bets

Here are some best bets for college football in Week 1.

College football is back baby and that means it is time to get your bankroll ready and dive into all the good stuff that our good friends at Tipico have to offer. Last week was not kind as Nebraska was miserable and Utah State looks like one of the worst football teams in America. However, we did snag two wins with Illinois and Vanderbilt. My record may be even at 2-2, but the juice will get you!

This week I wanted to start out by introducing some games that are intriguing on the Thursday night slate. I sprinkled some cash on each contest below, but this was not the strongest slate and I definitely do not expect to go 4-0. Let’s dive in!

Florida vs. Utah: Tipico’s Thursday betting odds for season-opener

Just a few small changes in the numbers for this Thursday game day odds update.

Florida football is nearing the kickoff of its season-opening game against the Utah Utes in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Saturday. In an unusually tough matchup to start the schedule, new head coach Billy Napier and his crew have a talk task ahead of them as the visitors arrive ranked in the top 10 of both major polls.

Reaching back to late May when we published our way-too-early odds from our partners at Tipico Sportsbook, the bookmakers have predicted a close game, with the spread set at 1.5 points three months ago. Fast forward to the end of the summer season and the spread widened to just 2.5 points at the beginning of the week.

The latest lines have not changed much over the last few days though there have been some minor tweaks to the numbers. Take a look below at where things stand.

Thursday betting odds update for LSU vs. Florida State

The spread has moved slightly since Monday for the Tigers’ season-opener.

We’re just a few days away from the [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] era kicking off in New Orleans against the Florida State Seminoles. The Tigers are favorites in this one, albeit slightly, but they’ve seen the point spread move a bit this week.

LSU was initially listed as a 2.5-point favorite on Monday by Tipico Sportsbook, but since then, that line has increased by a point to 3.5, meaning a field-goal victory would no longer cover the spread.

In my betting advice post on Monday, I picked the Tigers to win by eight points, and I’ll stick with that prediction and pick Kelly’s team to cover the new spread in its 2022 debut. We have a lot of questions about this LSU team, including at the quarterback spot where it’s assumed [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] has won the job, but Kelly is remaining tight-lipped on the starter until the game kicks off.

LSU begins its 2022 campaign and Kelly’s tenure on Sunday night in the Superdome at 6:30 p.m. CT.

Former UGA football players predict score of Georgia vs. Oregon

Former Georgia players predict score of UGA vs. Oregon. You’ll love Jordan Davis’ answer:

Georgia football is back! On Saturday, the Bulldogs take the field against No. 11 ranked Oregon in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game from Atlanta.

As we do every week during the Georgia season, we reached out to former UGA players and asked them to predict the score of the upcoming game.

The Dawgs are a 17.5 point favorite over the Ducks on Saturday with an over/under of 52.5 (courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook).

Florida vs. Utah: Tipico’s Wednesday betting odds for season-opener

Wednesday’s betting update on the Florida-Utah season opener saw the money line move slightly in favor of the Gators but the Utes are still expected to come out on top.

Florida’s odds to beat Utah on Saturday in the 2022 season opener improved on Wednesday, according to the Tipico Sportsbook.

Utah was a minus-150 favorite on Tuesday, but those odds have dropped to minus-145 overnight. In turn, Florida’s money line odds went from plus-122 to plus-120 overnight as well. Nothing else changed, and Tipico still considers Utah a three-point favorite, but that money line trend is something to keep an eye on as game day approaches.

It won’t be an easy upset to accomplish, but the Gators have a shot to beat the Utes and the oddsmakers seem to know it. If enough money comes in on the game, these odds could change even more but Florida is likely to remain an underdog going into Saturday.

The lines, courtesy of Tipico Sportsbook

The Tipico Sportsbook favors the Utes by three points over the Gators to start the week. Here are the full odds as of 11:30 a.m. EDT Wednesday.

Team Spread Total – O/U Money Line Team Points
Utah -2.5
-120
O 51.5
-103
-145 Over 26.5 (-120)
Under 26.5 (+100)
Florida +2.5
+100
U 51.5
-117
+120 Over 23.5 (-125)
Under 23.5 (+102)
