How many FCS teams will knock off FBS opponents in Week 1?

There have been at least six FCS over FBS upsets in every season this decade. Seven FCS teams beat FBS opponents in 2018, with five of those victories coming in Week 1 of the season. Of the FBS teams that were stunned in their opener, only Temple rallied to make it to a bowl game, so every program is looking to avoid a costly misstep this week. Below are the upsets I think are most likely to happen.
