5 top CFB games to watch in Week 1 of 2024

Colorado vs North Dakota State – August 29

The highly anticipated game between the Colorado Buffaloes and North Dakota State Bisons at Folsom Field is easily one of the top CFB games to watch. Deion Sanders has previously admitted that the Bisons will be a challenge. After all, this FCS powerhouse is 9-4 against FBS opponents. 

Still, the Buffs have experienced players like quarterback Shedeur Sanders and two-way phenom Travis Hunter, who might be able to stop the Bisons from clinching another victory over an FBS team. This year, North Dakota State will see action under new head coach Tim Polasek for the first time. So grab your snacks and prepare to watch this intriguing game that will indeed be filled with intense competition.

Georgia vs Clemson – August 31

Next, we have the Georgia Bulldogs and the Clemson Tigers, who will face off at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs enter the season as the No. 1 ranked team in the nation, while their opponent ranks at 14th. Besides, they have QB Carson Beck, the potential No. 1 QB in next year’s NFL draft. It sounds like a tough match for the Tigers, right?

But as far as predictions go, Clemson is the second favorite to win the ACC conference title. Again, SEC powerhouse Georgia is not a program to mess with, as they’re even predicted to be the national champs. They’ll enter the game as a 14-point favorite, and it will garner thousands of views across the nation.

LSU vs. USC – September 1

There will be intense competition at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas as LSU and USC meet without their star quarterbacks in the 2023 lineups. Both teams are about to write a new chapter in their stories without Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels. Besides, this game will take place on a Sunday, meaning that the number of viewers will soar. The Tigers enter the game ranking 13th as a 6-point favorite over the Trojans, who are ranked 23rd.

Miami vs. Florida – August 31

Set to take place in Gainesville, Florida, this game between the Miami Hurricanes and Florida Gators is expected to draw in a massive crowd of spectators. Miami enters Week 1 of the season as a 2.5-point favorite to win the game. But will Florida be able to flip the narrative and deliver an unexpected upset to the potential ACC champ? 

Notre Dame vs. Texas A&M – August 31

Another can’t-miss CFB game will occur at Kyle Field as the Fighting Irish get on the road to face the Aggies. Notre Dame enters the season as the No. 7 ranked team in contrast to Texas A&M at 20. Per predictions, Notre Dame is a 2.5-point underdog. But odds and predictions aside, the action on the field will determine the outcome. So brace yourself for the upcoming Week 1, where predictions will either be confirmed or take a different turn.
