Video Summary

The college football season is kicking off with a bang, with several ranked teams taking to the field on Thursday and Friday. The week is full of marquee matchups, with top-ranked teams in action. We're expecting a high-scoring game from NC State, who are hosting Western Carolina, with quarterback Grayson McCall leading the way. The Wolfpack are favored to win by 33.5, and we're picking them to cover the spread.

Another team to watch is Missouri, who are hosting Murray State and are heavy favorites with a 46.5-point spread. We're picking the unders in this one, as Missouri will likely take an early lead and then substitute in some backup players to get some depth.

In other Thursday action, Kansas is hosting Lincolnwood, who were winless last season. We're picking the Jayhawks to cover the 44.5-point spread, as their new coaching staff will look to make a big statement in their first game.

In Friday action, Oklahoma is hosting Temple, which has struggled in conference play the past few seasons. We're picking the Sooners to win big, with a predicted margin of 42-2.5. The Sooners have a strong new coaching staff and are looking to make a big impact in the SEC.

Finally, on Saturday, Penn State is taking on West Virginia on the road, and we're picking the Mountaineers to cover the 8.5-point spread. Iowa is hosting Illinois State, and we're expecting a low-scoring game. Oklahoma State is hosting South Dakota State, and we're predicting a high-scoring affair.
