The Six Pack: Picks for LSU-Clemson, Ole Miss-Louisville and lock of Week 1
cbssports.com • • sports
Key Points:
- College football betting has become significantly easier with mobile technology, but winning remains challenging due to roster changes and less reliable data for early-season predictions.
- LSU is favored over Clemson, with LSU's roster seen as stronger despite uncertainties around NFL roster cuts, while Clemson struggles with declining talent and performance in recent years.
- Louisville is picked to cover the spread against Ole Miss, as Ole Miss may face defensive challenges and a coaching transition, despite their strong finish last season.
- The "Lock of the Week" is the under 47.5 points in the Wisconsin vs. Notre Dame game, expecting a low-scoring contest due to Notre Dame's talent advantage and Wisconsin's improved defense.
- Big spreads favor South Carolina over Kent State and Ohio State over Ball State, with South Carolina expected to dominate and Ohio State likely to ease off after building a large lead; an upset pick favors UCLA over California in a matchup of new head coaches.
