Kentucky at Louisville – 3:30 PM on ABC
If this was basketball season this would be a five star game, but given that these two school’s football teams combined for just 11 wins last season it hardly qualifies as ‘must see’ TV. The Wildcats are clearly the better team in this one.
Prediction: Kentucky -3 – Bet Now
Odds: Kentucky: -3 – Louisville: +3 – Over/Under: 49

Arkansas State at #22 Auburn – 7:00 PM ET

San Jose State at #1 Alabama – 7:00 PM ET on ESPN3.com

Northwestern at Vanderbilt – 7:30 PM ET on ESPN3.com
Give credit to a team that only won two games in 2010 for scheduling an opening day game against a team from another major conference. Maybe after this game the Commodores will think twice about doing it again.

Odds: Northwestern: -5.5 – Vanderbilt: +5.5 – Over/Under: 44.5
