Hawaii Rainbow Warriors vs. Arizona Wildcats

• Date and Time: Saturday, August 29, 2020, TBD
• Location: Arizona Stadium, Tucson Arizona
• Hawaii vs. Arizona College Football Betting odds: Arizona -10.5 vs. Hawaii +10.5
• Hawaii vs. Arizona TV Coverage: TBA

Last year Hawaii stunned the football world with a 45-38 win over Arizona as 17.5-point dogs with the College football betting odds. Arizona head coach Kevin Sumlin has been on the hot seat ever since. Sumlin has gone 5-7 and 4-8 in his two seasons leading the Wildcats. A failure to make postseason will end his Arizona career. Meanwhile, Todd Graham takes over as head coach of the Rainbow Warriors. Graham was last seen at Arizona State and should maintain Hawaii’s explosive offense.

Clemson Tigers vs. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

• Date and Time: Thursday, September 3, 2020, TBD
• Location: Bobby Dodd Stadium, Atlanta, Georgia
• Clemson vs. Georgia Tech College Football Betting odds: Clemson -26 vs. Georgia Tech +26
• Clemson vs. Georgia Tech TV Coverage: TBA

Second-year head coach Geoff Collins has the unenviable task of facing a national championship favorite. Clemson is loaded with several top-ranked recruiting classes. Contrarily is Tech far behind on roster? The only question here is the price. Consider that the Tigers have paid out in seven of their last eight as road chalks.

Indiana Hoosiers vs. Wisconsin Badgers

• Date and Time: Friday, September 4, 2020, TBD
• Location: Camp Randall Stadium, Madison, Wisconsin
• Indiana vs. Wisconsin College Football Betting odds: Indiana +12.5 vs. Wisconsin -12.5
• Indiana vs. Wisconsin TV Coverage: TBA

Fashion that these were two of the top defensive teams in the Big Ten last year. Wisconsin has been a reliable sports betting value at Camp Randall Stadium. UW got the money in four of their six games at home chalks for 2019. Both teams will rebuild on offense. However, the Badgers have a proven record of reloading. Especially on the offensive line.

Navy Midshipmen vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish

• Date and Time: Saturday, August 29, 2020, TBD
• Location: Aviva Stadium, Dublin, Ireland
• Navy vs. Notre Dame College Football Betting odds: Navy +16.5 vs. Notre Dame -16.5
• Navy vs. Notre Dame TV Coverage: ESPN

Last year was a remarkable resurgence for Navy after two lackluster campaigns. Notre Dame has become much more consistent under head coach Brian Kelly. Account of Notre Dame’s 52-20 payout over the Midshipmen last year are concerned about taking the dog.

Alabama Crimson Tide vs. USC Trojans

• Date and Time: Saturday, September 5, 2020, TBD
• Location: AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas
• Alabama vs. USC College Football Betting odds: USC +16.5 vs. Alabama -16.5
• Alabama vs. USC TV Coverage: TBA

Once upon a time, this would be a dream matchup with the College football odds. USC has fallen behind on the recruiting trail under head coach Clay Helton. By contrast, Nick Saban feeds the Alabama beast with the nation’s elite players. USC simply won’t have the weapons of the Crimson Tide in this one.

Michigan Wolverines vs. Washington Huskies

• Date and Time: Saturday, September 5, 2020, TBD
• Location: Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium, Seattle, Washington
• Michigan vs. Washington College Football Betting odds: Michigan -1.5 vs. Washington +1.5
• Michigan vs. Washington TV Coverage: TBA

Of great concern is a Washington team under a new head coach with a new starting quarterback. Jim Harbaugh has stabilized the Michigan football program. While he hasn’t won the Big Ten or beaten Ohio State, he does win the games that he should.
