Week 1 of the college football season will extend beyond Saturday with lone-standing games on both Sunday and Monday nights. The Sunday game will be a measuring-stick contest for both participating schools as the Florida State Seminoles collide with the LSU Tigers. Here are our Florida State-LSU picks.
Mike Norvell is set to embark on his third year in charge at Florida State and the Seminoles have yet to reach a bowl game under him, but 16 starters are back in 2022. FSU kicked off its season last weekend as pa rt of Week 0 with a tune-up win over FCS-level Duquesne.
Meanwhile, Sunday night will mark the beginning of the Brian Kelly era at LSU. Just three years removed from winning the national title, the Tigers are seeking a fresh start. Kelly didn't take long to acquire a Southern accent upon taking the LSU job. Will he pick up his first win just as quickly?
Here are our college football betting picks for the Week 1 matchup between Florida State and LSU (odds via BetRivers, BetMGM, FanDuel Sportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5 star scale).
