As we head into what college football writers are calling “Week 0”, with four games this week, let’s take a look at my updated numbers and home field advantage numbers.
Every week we're going to look at line moves and see what they mean, if anything. What many call a "sharp" bettor is in reality someone that gets the best number and/or beats the closing line. Here is a rundown of the Week One College Football moves, and remember some books have had lines up for months.
Every season handicappers and bettors wait, and wait, and wait to start looking in detail about what they're actually wagering on. Many rely strictly on returning starters and what happened last season, which can be a catastrophic mistake. Don't forget the transfers, some of which are high-profile and have the potential to have high-impact.

It won't be long now until we start discussing the strength of schedules and the merits of who should and shouldn't be in the Playoffs for the CFB Championship.
Looking at their schedule, there are six wins on it. They open at a neutral site against NC State, which is a winnable game.
