Let’s take a look at the College Football Week 1 odds, picks, and predictions for this week’s game: Utah State vs. Alabama.
Utah State +41.5 at Alabama (-110)
Alabama has its sights set on another national championship. They will host Utah State on Saturday, where they find themselves around six touchdown favorites. Coming off a less-than-stellar performance in Week 0 against Connecticut, the Aggies will have their work cut out for them, but I think they can cover this bloated spread. After a banner 2021 campaign, the Aggies return key pieces from one of the best offenses in the Mountain West, including star quarterback Logan Bonner. Last Saturday's performance was not completely indicative of the talent of this Utah State team. The offense is capable of putting up points, and though Alabama's defense is better than any they will see, the Aggies won't lay down. They should be able to put enough points on the board.
