College Football week 1 betting lines are already out.  Here are some games I'm going heavy on to get the ball rolling for early Christmas shopping aka filling up the SportsCrack Pub with booze and victory cigars.

Georgia Tech (-3) vs Boston College in Dublin - Last year was a disastrous season for Justin Thomas and the Yellow Jackets.  Big expectations were thrown on Paul Johnson and his crew because of an 11 win 2014 season.  Now everyone thinks they suck because they went 3-9.  They are playing an awful Boston College team in Dublin and since I've been to Dublin to watch college football (ND vs Navy 2012) I'm 100% confident the Yellow Jackets run all over the Golden Eagles.  GT covers big!

Houston (+10) vs Oklahoma - How in the world is Houston at home a double digit underdog?  This game will be close and right now I'm leaning on Tom Herman and his Cougars for the down right win.  10 points is way too much.  Oklahoma is a tad overrated going into this season anyways.  Houston as the homedog!

Wisconsin (+10) vs LSU at Lambeau Field - While it's not on their homefield you know Wisconsin is going to play their asses off on Lambeau Field.  It's basically a home game for them and SEC teams don't travel well north of the Mason Dixie line.  Leonard Fournette will have a big game and I think LSU wins a close one but you gotta take Wisconsin as the double digit dog here!

USC (+10.5) vs Bama at JerryWorld - In terms of pure talent USC with maybe the exception of LSU might be the only team that can match up with Bama athletically on their schedule.  Everyone has been talking about how Bama is going to blow out the Trojans in Dallas but I don't see it.  I think USC gives them a run for their Nick Saban bail money.  Take FUSC as the dog!

Notre Dame (-4.5) at Texas - Last year ND throttled Texas 38-3.  This year they return a seasoned QB (Deshone Kizer or Malik Zaire it won't matter) going into Austin vs a true freshman QB for the Horns.  Charlie Strong is already fighting like mad to keep his job but this result will not help.  ND beats Texas and wins big!

Ole Miss (+6) vs FSU in Orlando - For some reason and it's really the only reason I can't shake how bad FSU got beat by Houston in the Peach Bowl.  I also can't forget how Ole Miss has beaten Bama the last two seasons.  The Rebels match up well here with the Criminoles and will be sending in Swag Kelly to face a likely first time starter in Deondre Francois.  I'm betting my money on Kelly to get the job done.  Ole Miss wins a close one!
