Credit to Author: ESPN| Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2024 15:29:27 EST

The 2024 college football season is finally here. While most of the AP Top 25 teams in the country won’t be playing until Week 1, there are still a few marquee games that bettors can wager on.

No. 10 Florida State and Georgia Tech open their seasons in Dublin in the annual Aer Lingus College Football Classic at 12 p.m. ET on ESPN. The Seminoles are coming off a season in which they went undefeated and won the ACC but missed out on the College Football Playoff. Things might be different this year with the new 12-team format set to debut at the end of the season. Florida State is currently listed at 35-1 to win the national championship at ESPN BET and +140 to make the playoff.

Three other games with FBS teams have odds listed at ESPN BET, including an FCS vs. FBS showdown between Montana State and New Mexico. Despite being an FCS team, Montana State is currently listed as 9.5 favorite over the Lobos. In the night cap, one of the ACC newest members this season, SMU, takes on Nevada. The Mustangs enter their Week 0 matchup as nearly 28-point favorites. The final game of the night features Hawai’i taking on FCS Delaware State as massive 38-point favorites.

Here are all of the betting lines, money lines and totals for Week 0 of the college football season.
