Saturday Early Picks: Jeph FREE Picks

Two Jeph Picks for the early Saturday morning afternoon, Week 1 in college football 2024

 

 

Pick 1:  Georgia -11

  • This line has moved big towards Clemson, too much in our opinion – lots of money on the underdog Clemson
  • The Clemson defense is still elite but the QB and the offense is not.  Clemson might find it on offense at some point, but not this week
  • Georgia is a clear national title contender playing in their backyard with an elite defense and have the recent experience to succeed in this game
 
Final Score Prediction:  Georgia 27, Clemson 7

 

Pick 2:  Penn State -7

  • Rivalry game that is intense, but traditionally has been one-sided with Penn State leading the series 49-9-2
  • Penn State is a national title contender and will compete for the Big 10 title, while West Virginia is picked to finish 7th in the Big 12
  •  The West Virginia offense will have some success running the ball, but too much firepower in the Penn State passing game proves the difference
 
Final Score Prediction:  Penn State 34, West Virginia 17
