But, as Michigan found out last year, they don\u2019t make opening day tomatoes like they used to, and maybe that\u2019s why we\u2019re seeing so many good games in this first week.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The standout game of a very strong weekend is in the Georgia Dome, where <a title=\"Sports Interaction Review\" href=\"\/sportsbooks\/sports-interaction-review\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Sports Interaction<\/strong><\/a> has made Alabama a seven point favorite against Virginia Tech.<!-- Affiliate Code Do NOT Modify--><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/affiliate.sportsinteraction.com\/processing\/impressions.asp?btag=a_3435b_563\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Football Betting\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><!-- End affiliate Code--><\/p>\n<p>That seven points looks very tempting indeed. Virginia Tech is nobody\u2019s idea a pushover, while the line on Alabama has to make allowances for the fact that Alabama is a much more public team than the Hokies. We\u2019ve set the over\/under in the game at 38, and I think it could go under. Virginia Tech hasn\u2019t a gunboat offense, but it doesn\u2019t get routed very often either.<\/p>\n<p>The game is on a neutral field too \u2013 Atlanta is twice as far from Blacksburg as Tuscaloosa but the schools are getting thirty thousand tickets each. I\u2019m really tempted by the Hokies covering the number in this one.<\/p>\n<p>LSU is a big \u2013 more than two touchdowns \u2013 favorite in Seattle against Washington. This is surprising, until you look at the stats and realise that Washington have lost fourteen straight games. Fourteen. If Washington covers seventeen points against the Tigers it\u2019ll be like winning the Rose Bowl for them. But Rose Bowls are aren\u2019t easily won, and the Tigers are still smarting from a disappointing year themselves last year. LSU -17.5 points at Washington with Sports Interaction is the pick.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Illinois looks a good bet against Missouri when they play in St Louis on Saturday. Sports Interaction has priced the Illini as seven point favorites, but chances are they\u2019re better than that \u2013 or will be against Missouri, who have some serious gaps to fill in the absence of Chase Daniel and Jeremy Maclin. The Illini are a little vulnerable on defense, but Missou doesn\u2019t have the weaponry to take advantage. Illinois -7 with Sports Interaction is the final pick of the week.<\/p>\n<h3>Sports Interaction, the first online sportsbook licensed and regulated in North America, has been the No 1 choice in the online gambling market for more than ten years.\u00a0\u00a0Sign Up For Free Today!<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for weekly ncaa football predictions?
