Weekend CFB Predictions - Week 1
Summary
-
The Washington prediction column backs Clemson +10.5 at LSU because LSU's roster turnover under Lane Kiffin may take time to gel, especially along the offensive line.
-
The same column takes Cal +1.5 and outright against UCLA, expecting an entertaining game between first-year coaches with both teams returning starting quarterbacks.
-
The column backs SMU -2.5 at Florida State, citing SMU's better roster and depth chart, Kevin Jennings' quarterback edge, and a 2025 top-20 run defense against Florida State's Ousmane Kromah-led run game.
-
The Ole Miss pick lays 6.5 against Louisville because Trinidad Chambliss is viewed as an elite player and the Rebels' defense is expected to pressure first-year Louisville starter Lincoln Kienholz.
