Alabama-Florida State highlights week 1 college football slate

The top 10 teams will all be in action this week as the college football season kicks off for most schools across the country. That includes last year’s two finalists, led by the top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide facing the third-ranked Florida State Seminoles at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Saturday.

The Crimson Tide are listed as 7-point chalk on the neutral field after falling to the Clemson Tigers 35-31 in last year’s College Football Playoff National Championship Game as a 6.5-point favorite.

There has not been much early line movement on Alabama-Florida State, although some sportsbooks have seen the favorite drop from -7.5. The Seminoles finished third in the ACC’s Atlantic Division last year behind the Tigers and Louisville Cardinals, and they are hoping to get back into the national title picture this season.
