The College Football season is later this month! The season is projected to be another fantastic one full of great games, excellent plays, and upsets around the field. One of the most underrated football conferences in the country that many do not discuss is the Big South.
For the 2023 season – the Big South has combined with the Ohio Valley Conference to form a super conference. Southeast Missouri State, Gardner Webb, and UT Martin were at the top of the preseason rankings.
Let’s take a look at the online college football odds for Big South Conference most anticipated matches winning favorites for 2023.
Big South Conference Most Anticipated Matches Winning Favorites | MyBookie Regular Season Betting Preview
Big South Conference | 2023 NCAA Division I FBS season
9 teams
South Atlantic States
Eastern Illinois Panthers at Southeast Missouri State Redhawks
Saturday, October 14th, 2023 at 6:30 pm
Houck Stadium, Cape Girardeau, MO
The Redhawks are the preseason favorites to win the conference. A season ago, they won the Ohio Valley and participated in the FCS Playoffs.
If they are going to win the league in 2023, this is a game they have to win. Eastern Illinois is a team that will have some wisdom to them but not a ton of overall talent.
There is a reason the Panthers were picked 8th in the preseason poll. But, if you aren’t careful, Eastern Illinois could sneak up on you. Make sure the Redhawks are ready for this one.
UT Martin Skyhawks at Gardner Webb Runnin’ Bulldogs
Saturday, October 28th, 2023 at 6:30 pm
Ernest W. Spangler Stadium, Boiling Springs, NC
The winner of the Big South last year – Gardner Webb, will be looking to put up big numbers again this season. UT Martin, though is another team that could sneak in and win this conference.
According to the preseason poll, these are the 2nd and 3rd best odds to win the conference in 2023. This should be a good football game, and the Bulldogs have a slight advantage in getting this game played at home.

MyBookie Betting Lines for the Game
Tennessee State Tigers at Charleston Southern Buccaneers
Saturday, November 4th, 2023 at 6:30 pm
Buccaneer Field, Charleston, SC
It’s the Tigers and the Buccaneers in a November tilt. Fortunately, the weather won’t be too frigid as the month gets started in Charleston. These two teams are both looking to go out with something to prove.
Both teams feel they should have gotten more respect when it came to the preseason polls. We expect this to be a high-scoring football game and could possibly be one of the best of the entire Big South season.
Southeast Missouri State Redhawks at UT Martin Skyhawks
Saturday, November 11th, 2023 at 6:30 pm
Hardy M. Graham Stadium, Martin, TN
The two co-champions from the Ohio Valley of a season ago. The Redhawks have a little more returning, which is why they got the preseason nod. But this game is played down in Tennessee, so give a slight advantage there to the Skyhawks.
It’s going to be interesting to see how these two teams do before they get to this one. Could this be the conference title on the line?
Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles at Tennessee State Tigers
Saturday, November 18th, 2023 at 6:30 pm
Nissan Stadium, Nashville, TN
A bit of a rivalry game played in Nashville just before Thanksgiving. The final game of the regular season for both teams. Every team wants to go out with a bang.
Expect a big crowd for this one between the Golden Eagles and the Tigers. We should see some good football too, and we expect this one to be a one-possession game throughout. This is a great Big South game to finish the regular season.
We hope you enjoyed our look at the NCAA: Big South Most Anticipated Conference Matches Winning Favorites for 2023. The Big South is going to be a fun conference to follow all season long! Enjoy the season, and best of luck with your favorite College Football team and all your College Football betting.
