  Presented for amusement and gauging what to expect the first week since the oddsmakers usually get things pretty close. Most Pac-12 schools open at home.
  
  Guess there’s no betting on Utah vs Weber
  
  Colorado favored by 6.5 over CSU (in Denver, CSU’s second game)
  
  Oregon State 38.5 point (!) underdog at Ohio State Wifebeaters
  
  Arizona favored by 15.5 vs TDS
  
  Arizona State favored by just 17 vs Texas-San Antonio
  
  Stanford favored by 15 vs SDSU
  
  Cal favored by 5.5 over UNC
  
  USC favored by 27.5 vs UNLV
  
  UCLA favored by 16.5 vs Cincinnati
  
  Washington is 3 pt dog at Auburn
  
  Washington St favored by 3.5 at Laramie with, or without, electricity
  
  Oregon favored by 27.5 over Boring Green Straight University
  
  Utah State is 25.5 dog at Mich State

  This is meant in good fun, but I have to point out that you missed an obvious pun. Ohio State Blackeyes.

  Weber State is ranked #8, if I saw that correctly.

    Yes, the FCS Coaches ranked them 8th in Div I FCS. 2017 Big Sky Champs, finished 5th in 2017 FCS poll. No pushover. Sagarin’s final predictor from 2017 does provide an estimate… Utah by 16, including 2.4 pt home advantage.
    
    Not sure you’ll find anyone to take that bet except some guy named Nephi behind the Maverick in Ogden.

      They may be our toughest OOC matchup this year. I kind of like Weber to cover.

    Don’t think Cal can beat UNC by more than 5 at home?

      I do, but I see the current line at 8.5 so I didn’t bother listing it.
