Best College Football Prop Bets Week 0

The Navy Midshipmen will battle the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the first game of the 2023 college football season. Notre Dame has lofty expectations heading into the season, and they should with quarterback Sam Hartman joining the team. 

Hartman was exceptional at Wake Forest throughout his entire career, but we don’t think his talent will result in an opening-game cover. We’re looking at the Midshipmen in this game to cover, and for this to occur, they must find the endzone. 

Navy’s team total is listed at 13.5 points, and this is an ideal bet for a few reasons. The Midshipmen have a new head coach in Brian Newberry. The Midshipmen have run triple option, but rumors have stated that the team will add some extra wrinkles to the offense. 

We don’t know what these new wrinkles are, but neither do the Fighting Irish. It’s always hard to prepare for an unknown offense. The other benefit of this wager is if Notre Dame blows out Navy, we should see some backups in this game. 

Navy can’t cover a spread in garbage time, but they can put points on the board. The Midshipmen scored 32 points on Notre Dame last season, and the Irish are returning a solid portion of their defense.
