Legendary Vegas handicapper Bruce Marshall reveals the best betting values for the Week 0 college football schedule

Each week, we pick every game against the spread for Top 25 teams, but we'll throw in those other games involving FBS teams as a bonus for Week 0. We finished 144-146 (.497) against the spread and 216-74 (.745) straight up last season. That was down from 2023, when we finished 151-136 (52.6%) against the spread and 224-66 (77.2%) straight up.

The wait is finally over. The 2025 college football season is here as Week 0 features five FCS matchups, including four FCS vs FCS games and one opportunity for an FCS over FBS upset.

Is there a reason that game is under-the-radar nationally? — Aaron M.
