As we gear up for the first big slate of college football Week 1 matchups this Thursday and betting limits increase, spread and over/under odds are on the move.

With numbers flying ahead of kickoff, we've tracked a couple spread and over/under picks attracting market-moving bets: Alcorn State vs. UAB and Lindenwood vs. Kansas.

Enter the Alcorn State vs. UAB prediction, where bettors with influence have worked the spread through key numbers, indicating a strong Week 1 stance. Surprisingly, while tickets are overwhelmingly on one side, the money is pouring in on another. This divergence is rarely seen, and it sets up an intriguing backdrop for Thursday's FCS-FBS crossover.

UAB ended last season with a 6-6 record against the spread, while Alcorn State went 7-4 overall.

Meanwhile, tonight's Lindenwood vs. Kansas pick focuses on the over/under, as wise guy action has an idea of how the Jayhawks will perform in their first game without offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki.
