About this episode

Brad Powers and Joey Knish analyze the early betting lines for the biggest college football games of the 2026 season.

The biggest college football games of the 2026 season are already on the board, and Brad Powers and Joey Knish are breaking down the early betting lines from FanDuel. From Ohio State vs. Texas and Michigan vs. Oklahoma to Georgia vs. Alabama, Notre Dame vs. Miami, LSU vs. Ole Miss, and the annual showdown between Ohio State and Michigan, the guys discuss which numbers stand out, where the betting value could develop, and which games they're willing to bet months before kickoff. Is Texas the right favorite against Ohio State? Can Michigan bounce back against Oklahoma? Is Georgia undervalued against Alabama? And which early line offers the best value on the entire board? Plus, Brad and Joey reveal their favorite bets, discuss how they expect these numbers to move throughout the offseason, and explain the importance of betting Game of the Year markets before the rest of the market catches up. 🔵 New to FanDuel Sportsbook?
