College Football Betting: What Games You Must Bet and Avoid in Week 3

The College Football season has seen some excellent games to start the season. It has seen some games that were never close, as well. As the season progresses, we start seeing more and more conference games, which typically result in tighter games.

Let’s take a look at what games to bet on and what games to avoid betting on for Week 3, plus get the updated MyBookie lines on college football today.

 

College Football Betting: What Games You Must Bet and Avoid in Week 3 | MyBookie Regular Season Betting Preview

Games to Bet Big in NCAAF Week 3
Now, let’s take a look at a few games that you suggest betting on this coming weekend.

 

Mississippi State Bulldogs vs. 14 LSU Tigers | BET BIG

NCAAF Odds: Mississippi State +9.5; LSU -9.5 / Mississippi State +295; LSU -380 / O/U 54
Saturday, September 16th, 2023 at 12:00 PM | ESPN
Mississippi State

The Bulldogs have some momentum going with back-to-back wins to start the season. Mississippi State needed overtime but beat Arizona at home. Look for the Tigers to play decent football, but this team is not as good as many want to think they are.

Coach Kelly did not bring that much of an infusion of great talent. While LSU can still win this game, it will be closer than many expect. Look for LSU to win this game somewhere around 31-27.

Wisconsin Badgers vs. Georgia Southern Eagles | BET BIG

NCAAF Odds: Wisconsin -19; Georgia Southern +19 / Wisconsin -900; Georgia Southern +570 / O/U 64
Saturday, September 16th, 2023 at 12:00 PM | BTN
Camp Randall Stadium, Madison, WI

The Badgers are smarting a little following their Week 2 loss to Washington State. They now get an Eagles team that has scored many points in their first two games of the season. The good news for the Badgers is – they can play some defense.

Look for them to really stick it to them here and come out ticked off. Wisconsin wins by 3+ scores. A score prediction of 38-14 is the way to go.

20 North Carolina Tar Heels over Minnesota Golden Gophers | BET BIG

NCAAF Odds: North Carolina -7.5; Minnesota +7.5 / North Carolina -319; Minnesota +244 / O/U 50
Saturday, September 16th, 2023 at 3:30 PM | ESPN
Kenan Stadium, Chapel Hill, NC

PJ Fleck and his Gophers have been a fun story with back-to-back wins and only 8 points allowed per game.

But those wins over Nebraska and Eastern Michigan are no comparison to a trip to Chapel Hill to take on the Tar Heels. North Carolina is an offensive machine and will feel a little loose following their overtime win. 

The Tar Heels moving to 3-0 would be huge for the ACC. Look for that to happen, as the Tar Heels score too many for Minnesota to compete with. Take North Carolina 28-17.

8 Washington Huskies over Michigan State Spartans | BET BIG

NCAAF Odds: Washington -16.5; Michigan State +16.5 / Washington -724; Michigan State +490 / O/U 58
Saturday, September 16th, 2023 at 5:00 PM | Peacock
Spartan Stadium, East Lansing, MI

Michael Penix Jr. and the Huskies are rolling. Unfortunately, part of this bet is about a play against Michigan State and the surrounding news regarding their program. If they come unprepared, this will be an absolute blood bath. Even if they are prepared, they are not talented enough. 

Washington is one of the most fun teams to watch in the country. Look for Washington to win easily. A final score prediction for 42-17 Washington.

Colorado Buffaloes over Colorado State Rams | BET BIG

NCAAF Odds: Colorado -23; Colorado State +23 / Colorado -2200; Colorado State +1000 / O/U 59
Saturday, September 16th, 2023 at 10:00 PM | ESPN
Folsom Field, Boulder, CO

Coach Prime has his Buffaloes ready to go. Colorado State is one of the worst teams in College Football. The Buffaloes want to put up some numbers. This does not have the look of anything other than a complete blowout. Take Colorado 52-13 over Colorado State on Saturday in College Football action.

Games to Avoid in NCAAF Week 3
Now, let’s take a look at a few games that you suggest avoiding on when betting this coming weekend.

 

15 Kansas State Wildcats at Missouri Tigers| AVOID

NCAAF Odds: Kansas State -5; Missouri +5 / Kansas State -198; Missouri +160 / O/U 49
Saturday, September 16th, 2023 at 3:30 PM | ABC
Memorial Stadium/Faurot Field, Columbia, MO

Quite the battle here. The ranked Wildcats at the always tough Tigers. Missouri is a team that is talented enough to beat nearly anyone at home.

The Wildcats are good but not good enough to win in a challenging environment, and if they do, just be a few points. This line seems shady, and we will not go anywhere near it.

10 Alabama Crimson Tide at South Florida Bulls| AVOID

NCAAF Odds: Alabama -32; South Florida +31 / O/U 61.5
Saturday, September 16th, 2023 at 3:30 PM | ABC
Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, FL

Many will instantly bet on the Crimson Tide, knowing they will bounce back from their home loss to Texas. But are the Crimson Tide really that good? After seeing them play Texas, this is a legitimate question.

Look for South Florida to have some excitement and fun and cover the spread. Betting South Florida +32 is the play to make here.

Oklahoma Sooners at Tulsa Golden Hurricanes| AVOID

NCAAF Odds: Oklahoma -27.5; Tulsa +27.5 / Oklahoma -8500; Tulsa +1800 / O/U 60
Saturday, September 16th, 2023 at 3:30 PM | ESPN2
Chapman Stadium, Tulsa, OK

Oklahoma has been pretty good, but they did slow down against SMU. Oklahoma wins this game, but there is a chance Tulsa keeps that under four touchdowns. It’s probably best to sit back and enjoy this game!
