Here is the BetDSI Sportsbook breakdown of odds for the first week of the college football season:

Predicted Order of Finish

LOUISIANA-LAFAYETTE RAGIN' CAJUNS

2014 Preview:
Offense: Starters Returning: 8
Defense: Starters Returning: 9
The Ragin’ Cajuns figure to be the class of the Sun Belt again. They return a stacked backfield with QB Terrance Broadway (9.1 YPA, 27 total TD) and RBs Alonzo Harris (942 rush yds, 14 TD) and Elijah McGuire (863 rush yds, 8 TD), plus O-Line four starters back. ULL was shaky defensively last year, allowing 29.0 PPG over their final six games due largely to a toothless pass rush.

LOUISIANA-MONROE WARHAWKS

2014 Preview:
Offense: Starters Returning: 5
Defense: Starters Returning: 9
Former Colorado State and NC State starter Pete Thomas (6.7 YPA, 4 TD, 9 INT) steps in at QB and has a solid target in WR Rashon Ceaser (964 yards), but the tandem of RBs Centarius Donald (433 rush yds, 4 TD) and converted WR Tyler Cain will likely carry the load. A veteran defense bodes well for the Warhawks, though their lack of a pass rush cost them late last year.

ARKANSAS STATE RED WOLVES

2014 Preview:
Offense: Starters Returning: 4
Defense: Starters Returning: 8
New Head Coach: Blake Anderson
QB Fredi Knighton (4.5 YPA, 2 TD; 344 rush yds, 5 TD) likely retains the starting job he earned late last year. The undersized dual threat should thrive in Blake Anderson’s up-tempo system. RB Michael Gordon (960 total yds, 11 TD), WR J.D. McKissic (662 rec yds) and TE Darion Griswold (312 rec yds) are solid weapons. The defense will miss stud DT Ryan Carrethers, but LB Qushaun Lee (134 tackles) anchors an improving 4-2-5 defensive scheme.

SOUTH ALABAMA JAGUARS

2014 Preview:
Offense: Starters Returning: 8
Defense: Starters Returning: 6
Six-foot-5 dual-threat QB Brandon Bridge (6.0 YPA, 4.6 YPC) has plenty of weaponry with WR Shavarez Smith (940 rec yds, 6 TD), TE Wes Saxton (635 rec yds) and Alabama transfer WRs Marvin Shinn and Josh Magee. The bulk of a quality secondary returns. DE Pat Moore (5.5 sacks) must step up.

TROY TROJANS

2014 Preview:
Offense: Starters Returning: 5
Defense: Starters Returning: 5
RBs Brandon Burks (675 rush yds) and Jordan Chunn (14 TD), and WR Bryan Holmes (16.9 rec avg, 7 TD) lead Troy’s offense. Ex-No. 3 QB Dallas Tidwell (12-of-16, 137 yds, 2 TD) and redshirt freshman QB Brandon Silvers are potential starters. Aside from LBs Mark Wilson and Wayland Coleman-Dancer, Troy will rely on a JUCO influx to improve its 35.9 PPG allowed.

TEXAS STATE BOBCATS

2014 Preview:
Offense: Starters Returning: 8
Defense: Starters Returning: 3
Dennis Franchione will go up-tempo on offense with sophomore dual threat QB Tyler Jones (7.1 YPA, 8 TD, 5 INT) taking over. He’ll get plenty of help from RB Robert Lowe (945 rush yds, 5.8 YPC, 9 TD). LB David Mayo (89 tackles) leads the defense. The secondary and pass rush could be lacking though.

IDAHO VANDALS

2014 Preview:
Offense: Starters Returning: 8
Defense: Starters Returning: 7
Idaho moves to the Sun Belt after a one-win season as an FBS Independent. The offense (18.2 PPG) has a chance to improve. The Vandals have a veteran O-Line and redshirt freshman QB Matt Linehan appears to be an upgrade at the position. The defense will likely be overmatched, especially in the secondary. The Vandals were rotating offensive players by the end of last season, when they allowed an FBS-high 46.8 PPG, including 40 TD passes.

GEORGIA SOUTHERN EAGLES

2014 Preview:
Offense: Starters Returning: 8
Defense: Starters Returning: 8
New Head Coach: Willie Fritz
The Eagles move to FBS with a new look. The arrival of Willie Fritz signals that they will move away from the triple-option offense they used under Jeff Monken. Fritz ran a spread option at Sam Houston State, and he’ll trust QB Kevin Ellison (9.6 YPA, 2 TD, 3 INT) to throw more than his 79 passes as a freshman starter. While Fritz retained defensive coordinator Jack Curtis, it’s an undersized unit that’s short on talent in the front seven.

NEW MEXICO STATE AGGIES

2014 Preview:
Offense: Starters Returning: 8
Defense: Starters Returning: 3
The Aggies lost the two best players from a two-win team—WR Austin Franklin and QB Andrew McDonald. JUCO transfer QB Tyler Rogers likely takes over under center, though sophomore RB Xavier Hall (5.1 YPC) could be the focus. Veteran coach Larry Coyer takes over as defensive coordinator. He inherits a group that allowed an NCAA-worst 550 total YPG last year.

GEORGIA STATE PANTHERS

2014 Preview:
Offense: Starters Returning: 5
Defense: Starters Returning: 5
The Panthers had a nightmarish FBS debut, losing all 12 games in 2013. QB Ronnie Bell (6.9 YPA, 15 TD, 11 INT), an Ohio transfer, looks to build on a decent first season as a starter. He’ll need sophomore WR Robert Davis (711 rec yds) to make a big leap with top target Albert Wilson gone. The defense will likely be overmatched again. LB Joseph Peterson (103 tackles) is a rock in the front seven, but GSU still surrendered 221.2 rush YPG last year.

APPALACHIAN STATE MOUNTAINEERS

2014 Preview:
Offense: Starters Returning: 8
Defense: Starters Returning: 8
The FCS powerhouse had a rough 4-8 final year in the NCAA’s lower division. Second-year coach (and longtime ASU assistant) Scott Satterfield has his work cut out for him. QB Kameron Bryant (71.2% comp., 14 TD, 4 INT) isn’t as mobile as some of Satterfield’s former stars, but he’s accurate. Defense is the problem. ASU allowed 27.8 PPG last season, 71st among 126 teams at the FCS level, and was bottom-20 in rushing yards allowed (220.3).
