I know it feels like we're still miles away from Week 1, but lines are already out for week 1. Here's the Pac-12, the rest of the top 25 (using ESPN's preseason poll), and other teams that might be of interest. Lots of garbage games here, but a couple of interesting ones.
#18 Florida +9 @ #15 Utah. This line opened at 9.5 in some places, which bettors seemed to think was a little high, but nobody's got it close right now. Total of 50, so the expectation is roughly Utah 30 - Florida 21.
SJSU +30.5 @ #7 USC. Not much movement yet, total of 63, so expectation is roughly USC 47 - SJSU 16
Port St. XX @ #13 Oregon. No lines for FCS games.
Boise +15 @ #21 Washington. This one's all over, with a high at 16 and as low as 14.5. Total is 58.5, so expectation is roughly UW 37 - Boise 21.
#24 OR ST -16.5 @SJSU. SJSU plays @ USC in "week 0" on August 26 and then hosts OR ST on Sunday Sept 3rd. You can get 17.5, and the total is 55, so the expectation is roughly ORST 36 - SJSU 19
WSU -14.5 @ CSU. Total is all over, between 56.5 and 59.5. We'll call it 58, so the expectation is roughly WSU 36 - CSU 22.
Stanford -9.5 @ Hawaii. Total of 58 or 58.5, so the expectation is roughly Stanford 34 - Hawaii 24.
Cal -9.5 @ N. Texas. Total of 57.5, so expectation is roughly Cal 33 - N. Texas 24.
CCU +16.5 @ UCLA. Total of 64.5, so expectation is roughly UCLA 40 - CCU 24.
CU +20 @ #17 TCU. Total of 62, so the expectation for Prime's first FBS game is that his team gets destroyed 41-21.
SUU @ ASU. No lines for FCS games.
NAU @ Arizona. No lines for FCS games.
#1 OSU -27.5 @ Indiana. Total is roughly 60, so expectation is roughly OSU 44 - Indiana 16
MTSU +38.5 @ #2 Bama. Total is roughly 55, so expectation is roughly Bama 47 - MTSU 8
UT Martin @ #3 UGA. No lines for FCS games.
#4 LSU -3 @ #14 FSU. Total is roughly 56, so expectation is roughly LSU 30 - FSU 27
Rice +35 @ #5 Texas. Total is roughly 59, so expectation is roughly Texas 47 - Rice 12
ECU +36.5 @ #6 Michigan. Total is roughly 52, so expectation is roughly Michigan 44 - ECU 8
#8 Clemson -12 @ Duke. Total is roughly 57.5, so expectation is roughly Clemson 35 - Duke 23
Navy +20 @ #9 ND. Total is roughly 49, so expectation is roughly ND 35 - Navy 15
WVU +20 @ #10 PSU. Total is roughly 53, so expectation is roughly PSU 37 - WVU 17
Ark. St. @ #11 OU. No line for this game yet, despite ARK ST being a Sun Belt team. Maybe Vegas thinks they're still FCS despite them being an FBS team since the 90s.
#12 Tenn. -28 @ UVA. Total is roughly 58.5, so expectation is roughly Tennessee 43 - UVA 15
Mercer @ #16 Ole Miss. No lines for FCS games.
UNM +39 @ #19 ATM. Total is roughly 50.5, so expectation is roughly ATM 45 - UNM 6
Buffalo + 24 @ #20 Wisky. Total is roughly 55, so expectation is Wisconsin 39 - Buffalo 15
#22 TTech - 13.5 @ Wyoming. Total is roughly 52.5, so expectation is roughly TTech 33 - Wyoming 20
TX ST +26 @ #23 Baylor. Total is roughly 57 so expectation is roughly Baylor 41 - TX ST 15
S. Car. +2 @ #25 UNC. Total is roughly 61, so expectation is roughly UNC 32 - S. Car. 30
USU @ Iowa. No line, despite USU being a FBS team for over a century.
SH ST @ BYU. No line for FCS teams.
The only lines less than 10 are Utah (-9), Stanford and Cal both favored by 9 against MWC foes, LSU by 3 against Florida St., and UNC by 2 against S. Carolina.
I'd also pay attention to Texas Tech at Wyoming. I don't know if Wyoming is any good, but favored by less than 2 TD on the road in Laramie is tricky.
