The Week 3 college football schedule is one of the best of the season as many teams jump into conference play, while several marquee non-conference games are lined up. Tennessee and Georgia are starting strong, set for a matchup in Knoxville, with Georgia opened as 3.5-point favorites. Another notable SEC game features LSU against Florida, where LSU is favored by 8.5.

Texas A&M will face Notre Dame in a break from conference action, with the Irish favored by 7 points. Following their surprising victory against Florida, USF will attempt another upset against Miami, who stands as 17-point favorites.

Key Bet Insights for Week 3 One of Marshall’s highlighted bets for Week 3 is Alabama, currently at -20.5, facing off against Wisconsin.

Despite being stunned by Florida State in the first week, Alabama rebounded with a decisive 73-0 victory against UL Monroe. The team’s prospects are bolstered by potential return of star receiver Ryan Williams (concussion). Last year, Alabama overcame Wisconsin 42-10 at Madison.

“The Badgers are 2-6 in their last eight games as underdogs, influenced by Luke Fickell’s 13-25-1 downturn in spreads since 2021 at Cincinnati and Wisconsin.”
