While this Saturday won't have a full slate of games, college football is back this weekend to get your body in game watching shape for the biggest season in the sports history.
The action starts at noon ET and doesn't end until well after midnight with four games involving FBS programs, and we're using the top college football betting sites to look at our college football Week 0 odds and predictions.
It may only be Week 0, but the slate does include Florida State, a college football championship odds contender. The Seminoles head to Dublin, Ireland for the first game of the college football season led by a Heisman Trophy odds dark horse, DJ Uiagalelei, to take on Georgia Tech.
Florida State isn't the only potential championship contender playing, either. Montana State is one of the top teams by the FCS championship odds, and SM U is a popular College Football Playoff odds sleeper.

College football odds for Saturday
College football odds via DraftKings and subject to change. Follow the latest college football scores for line history and matchup info.
- When: Aug. 24 (noon ET)
- Where: Aviva Stadium (Dublin, Ireland)
- How to watch: ESPN
- Moneyline: Florida State (-485) | Georgia Tech (+370)
- Spread: Flori da State -11.5 (-110) | Georgia Tech +11.5 (-110)
- Total: 55.5 (-108/-111)
On paper, Georgia Tech should be better in its second full season under Brent Key after going 7-6 last season. But opening with Florida State overseas is a tough way to start the year. If the Seminoles live up to expectations in Mike Norvell's fifth season, this should be a blowout win and the spread could balloon to -12.5 by kickoff.
- When: Aug. 24 (4 p.m. ET)
- Where: University Stadium (Albuquerque, N.Mex.)
- How to watch: FS1
- Moneyline: Montana State (-340) | New Mexico (+270)
- Spread: Montana State -9.5 (-110) | New Mexico +9.5 (-110)
- Total: 53.5 (-110/-110)
It's rare to see an FCS program favored by so much on the road against an FBS team. However, Montana State is a Big Sky power and has a star QB in Tommy Mellott. Meanwhile, New Me xico hasn't won more than four games since 2016. It's going to be a long rebuild for Bronco Mendenhall, and I think this line could be double-digits when the Bobcats take the field in Albuquerque.
- When: Aug. 24 (8 p.m. ET)
- Where: Mackay Stadium (Reno, Nev.)
- How to watch: CBSSN
- Moneyline: SMU (-2800) | Nevada (+1300)
- Spread: SMU -27.5 (-110) | Nevada +27.5 (-110)
- Total: 58 (-108/-112)
This is the rich vs. the poor with SMU being one of the most well-resourced programs in the country and Nevada being one of the worst. The Mustangs have several NFL talents on their roster and will be looking to make a statement as they move into the ACC. Given the Wolf Pack have a new head coach in Jeff Choate, I don't expect this line to move in their direction.
- When: Aug. 25 (midnight ET)
- Where: Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Comple x (Honolulu, Hawaii)
- How to watch: Spectrum PPV
- Moneyline: OFF
- Spread: Delaware State +38 (-110) | Hawaii -38 (-110)
- Total: 57 (-110/-110)
After a surprise five-win year in Timmy Chang's second season as Hawaii's head coach, expectations have increased for one of the toughest situations in the country. Luckily for Chang, they get a cupcake in Week 0 with this Delaware State program coming off a 1-10 year. I don't expect this line to move, but the total could jump up with Rainbow Warriors QB Brayden Schager being one of the best in the G5.
