Utes&#8217; head coach Kyle Whittingham has commented that he will likely wait until kickoff before fully committing to his starter, and he&#8217;s probably not joking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if Rising does suit up and get the nod, how much will he be able to run? He&#8217;s rushed for 964 yards and 12 touchdowns over the last two seasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If he&#8217;s unable to escape the pocket and create plays with his legs, how effective will he be? <strong>Utah football returns 16 starters<\/strong> from a team that has won back-to-back Pac-12 Championships and has made back-to-back Rose Bowls (losing both).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Florida Football Preview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The opposite is true in Gainesville where Billy Napier is still rebuilding his roster. The <strong>Gators only return 11 starters<\/strong>, and with a regular season win total set at 5.5, reaching bowl eligibility would be an accomplishment this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Napier does have a strong pedigree as an underdog. Florida pulled off a mild upset as a 2.5-point home underdog in this matchup last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">College Football WEEK 1 ULTIMATE Betting Guide Video<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_42173\"  width=\"870\" height=\"489\"  data-origwidth=\"870\" data-origheight=\"489\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4aODCRjYo3A?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/legacy.winnersandwhiners.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=1&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;hl=en_US&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"College Football Picks and Predictions {Week 1}  - College Football Kickoff Show - Part 1\"  src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/4aODCRjYo3A\/maxresdefault.jpg\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div><span itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><meta itemprop=\"embedUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4aODCRjYo3A\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"\"><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"YouTube video\"><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/4aODCRjYo3A\/0.jpg\"><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"\"><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"\"><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Florida vs Utah Week 1 Prediction <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dating back to his time at Louisiana, Napier is 16-4-1 against the spread as an underdog with nine outright upset victories.

Utes' head coach Kyle Whittingham has commented that he will likely wait until kickoff before fully committing to his starter, and he's probably not joking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Even if Rising does suit up and get the nod, how much will he be able to run? He's rushed for 964 yards and 12 touchdowns over the last two seasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>If he's unable to escape the pocket and create plays with his legs, how effective will he be? <strong>Utah football returns 16 starters<\/strong> from a team that has won back-to-back Pac-12 Championships and has made back-to-back Rose Bowls (losing both).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Florida Football Preview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The opposite is true in Gainesville where Billy Napier is still rebuilding his roster. The <strong>Gators only return 11 starters<\/strong>, and with a regular season win total set at 5.5, reaching bowl eligibility would be an accomplishment this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Napier does have a strong pedigree as an underdog. Florida pulled off a mild upset as a 2.5-point home underdog in this matchup last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">College Football WEEK 1 ULTIMATE Betting Guide Video<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n<iframe src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4aODCRjYo3A?origin=https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com'><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Florida vs Utah Week 1 Prediction <\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Dating back to his time at Louisiana, Napier is 16-4-1 against the spread as an underdog with nine outright upset victories. Utah went 6-0 straight-up at home last season, winning those home games by an average of 30.2 points per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get GoldSheet for Football Betting Tips All Year  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/profile\/the-gold-sheet\">Football GoldSheet newsletter<\/a> is now available for purchase at WagerTalk!
