Labor Day weekend brings Week 1 of the 2024 college football season. After a brief preview last weekend, fans can enjoy a full slate of games to watch and bet on.

Among the notable Week 1 college football odds via SportsLine consensus, Georgia is -12.5 against Clemson, Miami is -2.5 against Florida, Texas A&M is -3 against Notre Dame, and LSU -4.5 against USC (see more college football lines right here). 

Before making any Week 1 college football bets, be sure to see what legendary college football handicapper Bruce Marshall has to say. 

For years Vegas-based Marshall was synonymous with The Gold Sheet, the famed sports betting newsletter. With a background in play-by-play work and sports information while in college, Bruce joined TGS in 1981 when hired by the legendary Mort Olshan and served as executive editor for many years. Marshall now supplies his unique and colorful brand of football and basketball analysis to SportsLine members. 

An in-demand guest on numerous sports talk radio and TV shows across the country, Bruce's vast array of editorial work has been featured in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the New York Post and many other outlets. He has won various handicapping titles and also is working on several book projects.

Now he's studied the Week 1 college football schedule and used his Tech Corner technique to break down every matchup.

One thing we can tell you for Week 1: Marshall likes Colorado State (+34.5) to cover against No. 4 Texas on Saturday. "The Rams did a bit better ATS on road (3-3) than at home (1-5) a year ago, and Rams are 7-3 in their last 10 as a dog for Jay Norvell entering 2024. Steve Sarkisian didn't cover either game at Austin vs. non-conference foes a year ago, and just 4-4 ATS last in eight on home field."

Marshall has evaluated every other matchup and he's found an alarming 19-2 betting trend you need to know about in the LSU vs. USC matchup! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before making any college football picks.
