The opening weekend of college football was absolutely enthralling. Alabama and Florida State faced off in what felt like a championship preview of sorts, Josh Rosen led UCLA back from the edge of oblivion to defeat Texas A&M, and there was a double-overtime thriller from teams you might not have expected in Georgia Tech vs. Tennessee.
It was also a pretty solid opening weekend of betting, with our picks against the spread going 5-2 on the day.
Bama covered with relative ease, Penn State walked all over Akron, and our two underdogs - Cal and South Carolina - didn't even need the points, winning their respective games outright. Hope you made some money - these weeks are few and far between.
Week 2 of college football presents us with another challenge, so we're scanning through the slate again, scouring for the best bets of the weekend.
