Pac-12 football Week 1 score predictions, odds: Will Utah beat Florida? Only a few upset picks

Week 1 of the college football season has arrived.

The Pac-12 action begins Thursday night with the No. 14 Utah Utes playing host to the Florida Gators. Then the full slate of games continues through Sunday, when the No. 18 Oregon State Beavers visit the San Jose State Spartans.

The No. 15 Oregon Ducks play host to the Portland State Vikings on Saturday, a day with eight Pac-12 matchups.

Once again this season, the college football coverage team from The Oregonian/OregonLive is picking all of the Pac-12 games each week.

Most of our prognosticators avoided picking outright upsets this week, though there are a few. And some did pick underdogs to cover the spread. Here are our predictions for Week 1.
