College Football Week 1 Weekday Games Preview & Picks | The College Football Experience (Ep. 3158)

The College Football Experience (@TCEonSGPN) on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network continues its 2026 season coverage with college football Week 1 predictions, a full weekday preview and picks show. Pick Dundee aka (@TheColbyD) and Ryan McIntyre (@Moneyline_Mac) run the entire midweek slate, from Thursday night's marquees down to the small-school board, and hand out their favorite bets. Is Toledo worth the points as a road dog at Michigan State? Do the guys trust Fresno State to hang with USC as a three-touchdown underdog? Is San Jose State a live outright play at Eastern Michigan? Can Illinois cover a number in the high twenties against UAB on Thursday night? Where is the value on Colorado, the moneyline dog at Georgia Tech, and does Colby just lay the points with the Yellow Jackets instead?   The guys go top to bottom, locking Utah, Oklahoma, Purdue and Kansas among the big favorites, then digging into the FCS and Division II games Colby lives for, from Merrimack and West Georgia to Harding and Howard Payne. They close by ranking their top locks of the week and grading how the whole weekday slate should shake out. We talk it all and more on this episode of The College Football Experience.   00:00 Download the SGPN App Today! 00:53 Week 1 Weekday Slate: Intro & Schedule Talk 16:39 Merchant Marine vs Montclair State 20:00 UMass vs Rutgers 25:19 Kentucky Christian vs Morehead State 27:31 Roanoke vs Lynchburg 34:18 West Georgia vs Kennesaw State 37:53 Albany vs Buffalo 46:59 Merrimack vs Delaware 48:54 Bethune-Cookman vs UCF 56:39 Akron vs Wake Forest 1:00:15 Southern Illinois vs Samford 1:03:19 Lindenwood vs Stony Brook 1:05:04 NW Oklahoma State vs Harding 1:06:50 Eastern Illinois vs Minnesota 1:09:39 Arkansas-Pine Bluff vs Missouri 1:10:59 Southern Virginia vs Wisconsin-River Falls 1:12:29 Colorado vs Georgia Tech 1:18:02 Idaho vs Utah 1:19:54 UAB vs Illinois 1:23:04 Bentley vs Ferris State 1:25:24 San Jose State vs Eastern Michigan 1:29:05 Franklin Pierce vs Marist 1:29:34 North Carolina A&T vs Georgia State 1:30:52 Indiana State vs Purdue 1:32:28 Long Island (LIU) vs Kansas 1:35:05 UTEP vs Oklahoma 1:40:29 Toledo vs Michigan State 1:43:21 Miami vs Stanford 1:48:14 Fresno State vs USC 1:51:16 Howard Payne vs Pacific 1:53:46 Top Locks & Power Rankings 1:59:06 Grading Week 1's Weekday Slate 2:03:24 Close / Sign-Off   Exclusive SGPN Bonuses And Linkshttps://sg.pn/linksWatch The Sports Gambling PodcastYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/sportsgamblingpodcastFollow The Sports Gambling PodcastX/Twitter - https://x.com/GamblingPodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/sportsgamblingpodcastTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@gamblingpodcastFacebook - http://www.facebook.com/sportsgamblingpodcastFollow The Sports Gambling Podcast HostsSean Green - http://www.twitter.com/seantgreenRyan Kramer - http://www.twitter.com/kramercentric-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-Gambling problem?
