Chaos is lurking as our college football upset picks are locked in for Week 1. Every week, I'll dig through the schedule to find the upsets that no one sees coming. Well, except us, of course. To kick things off, I fade Boise State, calling their underdog story to officially be at its end.
Quick flex: I called Hawaii +1.5 as my Week 0 upset pick—and it cashed. Solid start to the season.

Upset Of The Week: south florida bulls (+5.5) Vs boise state broncos
What is Boise State without Ashton Jeanty? Well, we're about to find out. And if you're asking me... the Broncos have a big storm coming. Boise State may be coming off a College Football Playoff appearance, but they kick off the year on the road with a random Thursday afternoon. Not to mention, they're up against a dangerous QB in Byrum Brown, who's hungry to compete after missing out on most of 2024. But, don't forget the junior's 2023 resume was over 3,200 passing and 800 rushing yards—stats which were comparable to Heisman winner, Jayden Daniels.
I like the Bulls here. I think Brown will show aggression on the field while the Broncos struggle to learn who they are without Jeanty.

What Is A College Football Upset Pick?
A college football upset pick or an underdog pick is a bet where you back a team that's expected to lose, based on the odds. In NCAAF betting, these underdog teams are listed with plus (+) odds, offering a larger payout if they do win. Betting on 'dogs can be a high-risk, high-reward strategy.
