Betting preview and odds for College Football Week 0

Week 0 may not be as crammed with competition as Weeks 1 and 2 will be, but there’s quite a slate of matchups to put money on. The lines have been open for a few months and are seeing a lot of action as we lead up to the kickoff.

The biggest favorite of the matchups is No. 13 Notre Dame against Navy, being played in Dublin, Ireland. The Irish are massive favorites after winning the Gator Bowl against South Carolina at the end of the 2022 season. They also added Sam Hartman who transferred from Wake Forest after setting the ACC record for most career passing touchdowns.

Another popular matchup is No. 6 USC vs. San Jose State. USC quarterback Caleb Williams is the reigning Heisman Trophy winner. By all accounts, he’s aiming to get a repeat this year and is currently the favorite to be the No. 1 overall pick in the next NFL draft.

Caesars has a fantastic range of odds for the NCAAF. Below are the odds from Caesars for Saturday’s college football matchups. Go to Caesars Sportsbook to see even more football odds.
