Below, we offer our top ATS bets for Week 1 in college football (odds via DraftKings Sportsbook, BetMGM, FanDuel Sportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).
Oklahoma's losses from last season are well-documented, as head coach Lincoln Riley, quarterbacks Caleb Williams and Spencer Rattler, and running back Kennedy Brooks are all gone. The Sooners' reputation has them with the shortest odds to win the Big 12, but metrics like FPI are not as sold on Oklahoma, giving them a 28% chance (second behind Texas' 40%).UTEP +32 (-110) ???
