Finally the College Football season gets underway and many of the pollsters have the Georgia Bulldogs as the number team in the country and they aren't on the schedule for Week One.

In the sports handicapping world, some of the biggest betting tips we can give the novice bettors is the famous "look ahead" game and there's a few teams who might not be 100% totally focused on their opponents in Week 1 and this creates great line value on the underdogs.

First teams we consider in our Week One College Football preview, Miami-Ohio has the mighty Michigan Wolverines on deck and could be thinking of next week's tilt with the Wolverines at the Big House in Ann Arbor, MI. Therefore, consider Vanderbilt at +4.0 this Thursday vs. the Red Hawks.

Another game you might want to consider this weekend is Virginia +19.5 vs. USC. Let's face it, the Trojans have been a power house with Pete Carroll calling the shots and with a big nationally televised game next week vs. Ohio State, Virginia at +19.5 is great value.

Here are some College Football tidbits for your consideration in Week 1.

Sports News

  • New England Patriots
    The New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks was one of the most bet on games of the week early on despite the fact that the Seahawks have yet to win more than 2 games this season, not to mention this is a late afternoon game so action should be especially heavy throughout Sunday.
  • Oscar De La Hoya
    Saturday night's fight between golden boy Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao was already enjoying heavy betting by midweek. Betting odds on Oscar De La Hoya vs. Manny Pacquiao were listed between -180 for the favorite De La Hoya (at BetUS.com) and +160 for Pacquiao (found at BetCRIS.com).
  • Fans of live sports betting have several in-game wagering options at Sportingbet.com, starting with the Oakland Raiders visiting the San Diego Chargers in NFL action tonight.
  • he San Jose Sharks are hot and so are their payout odds to win the 2009 Stanley Cup Championship.
  • NBA Betting Preview
    We know the good teams already but when it comes to NBA betting, this time of year we start to witness teams that may have started off sub par begin to gain momentum. Their odds of winning either the NBA Championship or a Conference Championship have yet to catch up with that momentum.
  • Florida Gators
    No game this weekend is likely to have more betting activity that the Florida Gators vs. Alabama Crimson Tide. Despite being ranked number one in the nation, the Crimson Tide are a huge +10 underdog at Sportsinteraction.com heading into Thursday afternoon. That's not a typo.
