NCAA Football Week 3 Over/Under Betting Picks

Kent (1-1) at No. 10 Penn State (2-0)

When: Saturday, September 15, 2018 at 12:00 PM ET Where: Beaver Stadium, University Park, Pennsylvania Total: 63.5 Kent State got man-handled in their 31-24 Week 1 road loss to Illinois but they bounced back nicely to rout Howard 54-14 this past weekend as quarterback Woody Barrett completed 13 of 27 passes for 156 yards with one touchdown and one interception while running back Jo-El Shaw rushed 12 times for 105 yards and three touchdowns. Penn State completely obliterated Pittsburgh in their stunning 51-6 Week 2 win while easily covering the spread as a 7-point road favorite. The Nittany Lions put 45 points on the board against Appalachian State in their opener.

Prediction

The Over is 5-0 in Penn State’s last five games, 4-0 in their last 4 non-conference games and 4-1 in their last 5 home games. The Nittany Lions are putting points on the board very well in the early going and I believe they’re going to come close to the Over/Under total in this contest by themselves. NCAA Football Week 3 Pick: Over 63.5 Total Points

East Carolina at Virginia Tech

When: Saturday, September 15, 2018 at 2:30 PM ET Where: Notre Dame Stadium, South Bend, Indiana Total: 47.5 East Carolina bounced back from their 28-23 season-opening loss against North Carolina A&T to stun the North Carolina Tar Heels in their 41-19 Week 2 win on Saturday. Quarterback Nathan Elliott completed 22 of 38 passes without any touchdowns or interceptions but the Pirates racked up 220 rushing yards and four scores on the ground in the convincing win. Virginia Tech moved to 2-0 on the season by smacking William and Mary around in their convincing 62-17 Week 2 win on Saturday.  Quarterback Josh Jackson completed 12 of 16 passes for 217 yards with one touchdown and the Hokies rushed for 305 yards and seven scores on the ground in the win.

Prediction

The Over is 5-0 in East Carolina’s last five games, 5-1 in the Pirates last six games in the month of September and 9-4 in their last 13 games overall. The Over is also 5-0 in Virginia Tech’s last five games against teams from the ACC and 15-6-1 in their last 22 games against non-conference opponents. The Way the Hokies have been lighting up the scoreboard and the way East Carolina looked last weekend makes me think the Over 47.5 total points in this Week 3 affair is an absolute lock! NCAA Football Week 3 Pick: Over 47.5 Points

Vanderbilt (2-0) at Notre Dame (2-0)

When: Saturday, September 15, 2018 at 2:30 PM ET Where: Notre Dame Stadium, South Bend, Indiana Total: 52 Vanderbilt moved to 2-0 on the season by pounding Nevada en route to a convincing 41-10 win on Saturday.

Notre Dame remained unbeaten by beating Ball State 24-16 in Week 2 despite failing to cover the chalk as a whopping 34.5-point favorite. Quarterback Brandon Wimbush passed for 297 yards and three touchdowns to lead the way to victory. Prediction The Under is 6-0 in Notre Dame’s last six games and 5-0 in their last five games against a team with a winning record. The Under is also 6-0 in Vanderbilt’s last six non-conference games and 10-4-2 in their last 16 games in the month of September. I’m going with the Under for this week 3 matchup!
