Top college football predictions for Week 0 One of the top college football picks the model is recommending for Week 0: Virginia (-4.5, 52.5) covers against NC State in a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff. UVA's nine ATS wins last year were only topped in the ACC by national runner-up Miami. The Cavs should relish this game being relocated from Rio de Janeiro to Virginia, considering NC State's road woes. The Wolfpack went 0-4 ATS as a road underdog in 2025, making them the only Power 4 team to fail to cover as road dogs over at least four games.
