SI Staff's Top Week 1 College Football Bets From Each Power 5 Conference

The calendar flips to September this Saturday, marking the first full weekend of college football action. To help advise bettors what games to put their money on, each member of SI's college football staff has offered their top bet on the board, and will do so for every week of this 2018 campaign.

Tennessee vs. West Virginia UNDER 61.5 points

Take the under.

The assumption here is that West Virginia will pour the points on the Volunteers thanks to QB Will Grier and receivers David Sills V, Gary Jennings and Marcus Simms. The other assumption is that Tennessee will be able to make this a shootout for a little while because West Virginia’s defense is so porous.
