Week 1 Preview: Some people say that opening week of the college football season is the best time to bet because it’s the only week you can still get something past Vegas. Those people must have a lot more confidence in their abilities than I do. This year there are not only a handful of very intriguing games in week 1, there are actually a few huge, season altering matchups. Not so much on Thursday. The best action is on Saturday. Lastly, I hate to start the year off on a bad foot, but the comments for this week are going to be brief. As in, there won’t be comments this week.
