College Football Week 1 Predictions | Premier League Picks | Power 5 for August 31, 2024

Introduction I'm talking Clemson Georgia a 37-0 trend and my two favorite underdogs for week one of the college football season all geared up as you can see welcome to the Saturday edition of the power five as a reminder you can always comment down below with any questions or thoughts you've got on today's card I am going to (Serie A) Cagliari vs Lecce start in a place many of you may not be interested in that being Italy but this is a soccer bet you need to make on Saturday as we turn to sah KAG leche both teams to score yes this prop is still close to even money minus 105 at DraftKings last I checked leche is the only side in the league that has lost its first two matches in fact they haven't even scored a goal but that's going to change Saturday afternoon for two reasons one Le haven't opened 0 and three in the league since 1997 two kager they were pretty bad defensively last year conceded 68 goals in 38 matches that was fourth most in all of Syria also considering leche has already conceded six goals themselves in the first two matches uh keger pretty solid bet to score at least one here so both teams to score yes up to minus 125 is how I'd play that one for the record I was number one in net units last season at wager talk not only in Sera but La Liga and the English Premier League as well cash my only soccer bet last week Real Madrid win a nil on an 80 And1 EPL run going back to last season so don't go disc scouting soccer it's been a solid money maker on this end all right now let's hit our mark key game for Clemson vs. Georgia Saturday's power five what you've been waiting for number 14 Clemson versus number one Georgia noon Eastern on ABC it's game takes place in Atlanta reportedly there's going to be some players suspended on the Georgia side including running back etn that's why this line has come down thinking about game script how this one might play out I don't think Clemson covers full game without playing a strong first half so the first half is the market I'm going to look at here let's take the points with the Tigers in the first half there's still some six and a halfs out there and I'd grab them before they start to disappear our third play let's Syracuse vs. Ohio U look at a game I don't think is going to be close myma moer Ohio U traveling to the Carrier Dome to take on Syracuse this line has been on the move all week C taking money left and right I don't think the oddsmakers can make the number big enough it's a total rebuild this season in Athens for Tim Alvin U returns virtually no one from last year quarterback Curtis roor easy for me to say he bolted for Indiana meanwhile there's some serious expectations for Syracuse this year under Fran Brown their new head coach and here is why you shouldn't be afraid to lay the points with the orange even though this number's already been bet up this Century since 2000 okay not only is Syracuse a perfect 37 and0 straight up when listed as a double- digit favorite but they're 2510 and two against the number Ohio U has no chance here lay it with cuse by the way if you like BP WagerTalk Promo blowouts be sure to check out my 4% best bet for Saturday at wager talk I'm now on a 208 college football run going back to last season after my first play of 2024 the under in UNC Minnesota cash by double digits 9-2 with plays rated 4% or higher during that 28 20 and8 stretch not to mention I entered Friday having gone a perfect 5-0 in all sports the last three days after you're done watching this video head on over to W.B slbp to pick up that 4% best bet okay now back to the power five Sam Sam Houston State vs. Rice Houston State plus 10 against rice these are two teams that I like heading into to 24 uh so expect a close one Saturday night in Houston okay these schools are separated by just 73 miles it's their first ever meeting as FBS opponents Sam Houston State interesting team of course they just moved up to the FPS level last season covered the spread each of their first two games despite scoring a total of three points in those games so they've got a defense from there seven of the next 10 Gam games were decided by one possession so it's a team that knows how to keep it close they just had trouble finishing last year but I don't care if they win outright against rice just need them to stay within single digits which they should do Rice they are not accustomed to being a double digit favorite Sam Houston State's offense should be a lot better this year thanks to an improved line this team got some respect in the market last season even when they were 0 and six and 0 and S straight up San Houston State went off as the betting favorite last season so take the points here uh in the Battle of htown one more for you and it is another North Texas vs. South Alabama under the radar Underdog I like this week North Texas plus six against South Alabama like Sam Houston State the Mean Green from Denton County have taken money all week long you may even want to sprinkle a little bit on the money line here reason being I just don't like the situation at South Alabama to start the season virtually all their skill position tal from last year is gone so was the coach Kane wac he took the DC job at Alabama the Jaguars new uh quarterback Gio Lopez he did have a good bowl game that was against an awful Eastern Michigan team though in these 68 Ventures Bowl who could forget that in the spring game though Lopez reportedly went over for 13 passing that seems pretty ominous uh North Texas they lost a lot too relative to last year but I like the fit for their new quarterback Chandler Morris who comes over from TCU it's going to be a close game North Texas joined Sam Houston State as my favorite underdogs for week one not the bit sexiest games but they're games that'll make you money let's now recap the power five shall we number one klier Power 5 Recap leche both teams to score yes in SII ah number two Clemson first half plus six and a half against Georgia it's more of a marquee match up for you number three Syracuse lay it no matter what the number is as long as it doesn't get up to 21 uh lay it against Ohio U
