NCAA Football Game Lines: Top 5 Games in Week 3

mybookie App Download App

Yes, we are just 2 weeks into the college football season, but in my humble opinion, it is obvious that we don’t really have a clear favorite emerging just yet. The Georgia Bulldogs are still unbeaten, and while they have not been seriously challenged, they have also looked a little sluggish. Clemson and Alabama have both lost already, so the traditional postseason powerhouses are in trouble. Looking ahead to Week 3, there are not a lot of what we would describe as huge games on the docket, but there are some very interesting matchups, so let’s look at 5 games that are catching our eye to consider in your college football betting odds.

College Football: Top 5 Games you must Bet on in Week 3 | MyBookie Regular Season Football Betting Preview

Regular Season: August 26 to December 9
Week 3: Thursday, September 14 to Saturday, September 16, 2023

Florida State Seminoles at Boston College Eagles

College Football Odds: Florida State -4000 vs Boston College Eagles +1250
When: Saturday, September 16 at 12:00 PM EST
Where: Alumni Stadium (Chestnut Hill, MA), Chestnut Hill, MA
TV: ABC

The Seminoles were one of the teams that people saw as a legitimate playoff threat heading into the season. With a big win over LSU in Week 1, they definitely cemented that feeling. Last week was another blowout win, although that one was expected, but they get another serious challenge this weekend with a less than easy trip to pay Boston College in a conference matchup. These are the types of games that can trip up teams with playoff aspirations, so it is one we will be keeping an eye on.

LSU Tigers at Mississippi State Bulldogs

College Football Odds: LSU Tigers -390 vs Mississippi State Bulldogs +295
When: Saturday, September 16 at 12:00 PM EST
Where: Davis Wade Stadium, Starkville, MS
TV: ESPN

There was a lot of hype surrounding the LSU Tigers heading into this season, but a blowout loss to Florida State in Week 1 has a lot of fans pumping the brakes. Yes, they can still land a playoff spot, but you get the feeling they will need to be perfect the rest of the way. No easy feat when they still have to navigate their SEC conference schedule. That starts this weekend with a road trip to face Mississippi State, who are out to a 2-0 start to the season.

South Carolina Gamecocks at Georgia Bulldogs

College Football Odds: South Carolina Gamecocks +1450 vs Georgia Bulldogs -7692
When: Saturday, September 16 at 3:30 PM EST
Where: Sanford Stadium, Athens, GA
TV: CBS

As we mentioned at the top pf this piece, the 2-time defending champion Georgia Bulldogs are 2-0 on the season, but they have looked a little listless at times. Given that they have a new offensive coordinator and QB, as well as some key players missing through injury, that start can be somewhat dismissed. They will get their first real test this weekend when the Gamecocks head into Athens, and while this is a game that the Dawgs should win, they will need to be sharper than they have been through the opening 2 weeks.

Tennessee Volunteers at Florida Gators

College Football Odds: Tennessee Volunteers TBA vs Florida Gators TBA
When: Saturday, September 16 at 7:00 PM EST
Where: Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Gainesville, FL
TV: ESPN

I hate to keep loving on the SEC, but these are the games that I find to be the most interesting this week. The Tennessee Volunteers are a legitimate threat to the Bulldogs in the SEC East, but if they really want to live up to that hype, then these are the kinds of games they need to go out and dominate in. Yes, the Gators are in a down period at the moment, but it is never easy to go into their building and get a win, especially when it’s a conference foe coming to town.

Colorado State Rams at Colorado Buffaloes

College Football Odds: Colorado State Rams +800 vs Colorado Buffaloes -1587
When: Saturday, September 16 at 10:00 PM EST
Where: Folsom Field, Boulder, CO
TV: ESPN

I will be the first to admit that I got it all wrong with the Buffaloes. While I certainly believed that Deion Sanders could do a job in Colorado, I certainly didn’t believe he would have his team humming in Year 1. The Buffaloes have already surpasses their win total for last season, which was not a massive task, but they have looked very good in doing so. The hype appears to be real, but it is only 2 weeks of the season in the books. This is a game you would expect them to win, but that is so very often when the wheels come off. All of that aside, the Buffaloes are must see TV right now.
