Get ready for the start of college football as the much-awaited Week 0 games and game-of-the-year lines are set to thrill fans this weekend.

This means that betting enthusiasts are in for some action, and there might be some value on the board. So, keep an eye out for possible plays across the pond as well.

With only a few games scheduled for this week, it's worth mentioning some game-of-the-year lines. These lines, often offered well in advance by sportsbooks, present intriguing opportunities for bettors. As we delve into some of the biggest games of the year, there are a few that stand out as potential winners. Keep reading to uncover some exciting betting prospects.

Before we get into the predictions, let's take a closer look at the best bet for Week 0. According to a college football projection model, the projected score for this game is about a field goal too high. The model takes into account Nevada's offense, which is ranked as one of the bottom-five in college football. Based on these projections, it seems that points will be hard to come by for Nevada. Additionally, the favored team, SMU, has shown tendencies of playing at a slower pace, which further supports the projection of a low-scoring game. The expected blowout factor also lends credence to our scoring environment adjustments, as we don't anticipate the two-minute warning to have a significant impact in this game.

As the college football season kicks off, fans and bettors alike eagerly anticipate the action on the field. With only a limited number of games in Week 0, both FBS vs. FBS and game-of-the-year lines will provide ample opportunity for excitement. So, keep an eye on the odds and explore the value on the betting board. It's time to embrace the start of the college football season and get ready for an exhilarating ride.
