College Football Over/Under Predictions Week 1
Virginia vs. Tennessee Pick
PRO Projections spotted an edge for the early, non-conference clash between the Cavaliers and Volunteers.
The consensus Virginia vs. Tennessee over/under is 56.
Our numbers, however, disagree in a big way.
Projections made the Virginia vs. Tennessee total north of 60 (61.5), marking a Grade-A selection on over the total.
And that’s not it: Sharp Action and Big Money tools match.
We’ve logged 88% of the coin on the over, and there is eight times more action from respected bettors on the Virginia-Tennessee over than on the under.
PRO Report Pick: Virginia vs. Tennessee Over
Rice vs. Texas Pick

Quarterback Quinn Ewers, in his second year, is throwing to Xavier Worthy, Adonai Mitchell, Ja’Tavion Sanders and Jordan Whittington.
Expert projections and sharp bettors both match on the Rice vs. Texas over/under.
But pros don’t expect a high-scoring game in the opener.
The Rice vs. Texas under was hit by some sharp action. Projections, meanwhile, back it up.
The consensus Owls vs. Longhorns over/under Saturday is 59.
Our numbers, however, made the fair total more like 55.
It’s a B-grade recommendation on the Rice vs. Texas under.
