Get football picks for every game from a proven college football model

We’ll give you one team to consider backing during the college football’s Week 1 schedule. SportsLine’s advanced computer model, which simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times, is predicting San Diego State wins at home against Arizona.

The Wildcats were abysmal in Jedd Fisch’s first season as head coach, and they finished just 1-11. Arizona still managed to cover the spread in six of its games, but gave up at least 34 points in eight of them. Meanwhile, the Aztecs won 11 of the 13 games they played last year and won by at least a touchdown in six of those matchups. San Diego State started last season with three straight home wins in September.

Greg Bell finished as a top-40 running back in the nation with 1,091 yards and nine touchdowns for the Aztecs. This season, Chance Bell takes over for him in the backfield after he averaged 4.7 yards per carry last year in limited opportunities. Arizona had the 33rd-worst rushing defense in the nation last season and two of its top-three leaders in tackles-for-loss are no longer on the team.

SportsLine’s model predicts that new Arizona quarterback Jayden de Laura will struggle and throw two interceptions, while Bell will come away with close to 70 yards and a strong chance to punch in a touchdown. The Aztecs win in over 85 percent of all simulations, making them one of the top plays as the college football season gets underway.
