It’s finally here — Ohio State vs. Texas in the Horseshoe. In today’s Daily Buckeye Blitz, I break down the 5 keys to a Buckeye victory and give you my best bets for Week 1 across college football.

5 Keys to the Game:

• Generating pressure on Arch Manning without blitzing too much

Best Bets for Week 1:

• Alabama vs Florida State (spread -13.5, total 50.5)

• LSU vs Clemson (spread -4.5, total 57.5)

• Notre Dame vs Miami (spread -2.5, total 49.5)

• Michigan vs New Mexico (spread -34.5, total 49.5)
