We are not afraid of College Football Week 3 with all the big games this weekend. Unlike last week, where went 2-2, overall 4-4 and up 6 units, we needed to whittle down quite a few to make our Week 3 Picks. Sorry Cornhusker and Crimson Tide fans, your games were a bit scary for us to invest.
We split our college football picks into Leans (1/2 unit to 1 unit), Plays (1.5 to 2 Units) and Best Bets (3 Unit or more).
LEANS (0-3)
Pinnacle Odds: Ohio St. -2 vs Oklahoma Total 64
Under 64 Ohio St./Oklahoma – I like the Sooners here, but both teams will be tight – first test of this young buckeyes and the Sooners were upset in Week 1 which play in the back of their minds.
Pinnacle Odds: USC +8.5 vs Stanford -8.5 Total 52.5
Over 52.5 USC/Stanford – My numbers are showing scoring of 59 to 63 points in this one. Usually these games are tight, but don’t be shocked if the offences are on.
PLAYS (2-1)
Pinnacle Odds: Florida St. -1.5 vs Louisville +1.5 Total 68
Florida St. -1.5 over Louisville – Proof it to me Louisville Cardinals. Seminoles defense are producing turnovers and will be tough on the home team.
Pinnacle Odds: Iowa St +24.5 vs TCU -24.5 Total 62
TCU -24.5 over Iowa St. – Iowa St. was walloped last week and it doesn’t get any better. TCU’s offence will be too much to for the Hurricanes to handle.
BEST BETS (2-0)
Pinnacle Odds: Miami -3.5 vs Appalachian St. +3.5 Total 51.5
Miami -3.5 over Appalachian St. – Back with the Hurricanes on the Best Bet this week, Mountaineers are good squad, but the Hurricanes are not the Volunteers and have Miami win by 10.
