My picks for Week 1 of the college football season are in. I handicapped 11 games this week and am looking for a great start to the 2025 season.

Last season, I was particularly hot with my picks early. I went 19-7 against the spread in the opening two weeks of the 2024 season (73 percent), and I was 25-1 picking the games, straight up.

My final 2024 record vs. the spread: 93-88-1 (.514)

My overall record picking games straight up: 133-49 (.731)
