Seminoles vs. Cowboys in Week 1 Clash

Jameis Winston is back for the Florida State Seminoles, and he'll be at the helm on Saturday night as the defending national champions try to kick off their season with a win over the Oklahoma State Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.

Florida State turned in an unblemished record en route to the national title last season, with Winston earning the Heisman Trophy and helping his team pay out at 11-3 ATS. Ranked No. 1 in the preseason AP Top 25, the Seminoles are big favorites for Saturday in Arlington against an Oklahoma State team that was also a good bet at 8-5 ATS last year.

While officially not a home game for the Cowboys, their 1-6 ATS in their past seven games as a home underdog is a legit handicapping angle here. So is the OVER (13-2 past 15 Oklahoma State games in September).
