2023 Big Ten Week 1 best bets: Legendary Vegas expert's parlay includes Penn State vs. West Virginia

Week 1 of the college football season gets underway this Labor Day weekend, with all the best teams in action. CBS will now feature Big Ten action, starting with Ohio State vs. Indiana on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET, and Northwestern vs. Rutgers at noon ET on Sunday. Per the SportsLine consensus, Ohio State is a -30 favorite, and Rutgers is -6.5 (see more college football lines here).

Before making any Week 1 college football bets, be sure to see what legendary college football handicapper Bruce Marshall has to say. 

For years Vegas-based Marshall was synonymous with The Gold Sheet, the famed sports betting newsletter. With a background in play-by-play work and sports information while in college, Bruce joined TGS in 1981 when hired by the legendary Mort Olshan and served as executive editor for many years. Marshall now supplies his unique and colorful brand of football and basketball analysis to SportsLine members. 

An in-demand guest on numerous sports talk radio and TV shows across the country, Bruce's vast array of editorial work has been featured in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the New York Post and many other outlets. He has won various handicapping titles and also is working on several book projects.

Now he's studied the Week 1 college football schedule and found the best bets for a three-leg Big Ten parlay, which would pay out at a +599 clip -- winnings of nearly $600 for a $100 bet!

One key component of Marshall's parlay is the Penn State vs. West Virginia game. Marshall says one of the teams' coaches covers spreads "like nobody's business." 

You ABSOLUTELY need to read his analysis before making any college football picks.
