CFB Week 3 Preview

College Football Week 3 Preview 9-18-21

Early Slate:

Virginia Tech (15) v West Virginia

When the undefeated ranked team is an underdog to an unranked 1-1 team you set this bet and forget it, and that's coming from a certified VT hater.

The Bet: Virginia Tech Spread

Nebraska v (3) Oklahoma

One of the oldest and most storied rivalries in college football would have been very entertaining a few decades ago. Now it is just going to be Oklahoma outclassing Nebraska through and through.

The Bet: Oklahoma Spread

Michigan State v (24) Miami (FL)

Miami does not deserve to still be ranked. Michigan State has impressed despite coaching and roster overhaul this summer. Give me the points.

The Bet: Michigan State Spread

Boston College v Temple

The Bet: Boston College Spread+Over Teaser

Cincinnati (8) v Indiana

You might have to pay up for this one but I am not confident enough in Cincy to win by more than a field goal. I am also not confident in Indiana considering their only other game against a ranked team this season resulted in a 28 point loss.

The Bet: Cincinnati Moneyline

Western Michigan v Pittsburgh

The Bet: Pittsburgh Spread+Under Teaser

Northern Illinois v (25) Michigan

NIU is one of my favorite teams to bet on to cover spreads and they are 2-0 on the season in doing so. Michigan is fraudulent, as they have been every year under Harbaugh. They could win this game comfortably and still allow NIU to cover.

The Bet: Northern Illinois Spread

Minnesota v Colorado

*System Play*

The Bet: Over 49.5 Total Points

Nevada v Kansas State

Home, undefeated Power-5 team is an underdog to a Group of 5 team. This might be a trap but I’m still going with the +points.

The Bet: Kansas St Spread

Purdue v (12) Notre Dame

Nerds v Catholic Nerds, there is no way this game sniffs the over. Notre Dame’s spread has been bet down after a poor showing against Toledo last week. At home this is a get-right game for the Fighting Irish.

The Bet: Notre Dame Spread+Under Teaser

Afternoon Slate:

Eastern Michigan v Massachusetts

MACtion love all over the preview for me. Also, lads, it's UMass, don't think it.

The Bet: Eastern Michigan Spread

USC v Washington State

New coach bump, or rather “we got rid of the old shitty coach” bump.

The Bet: USC Spread

Tulsa v (9) Ohio State

I know it's shocking to see me on the under considering OSU’s ability to score and their inability to play defense. But after allowing a thousand yards last week to Oregon you have to think Ryan Day will challenge his defense to show up today at home against a Tulsa team that is 0-2.

The Bet: Ohio State Spread+Under Teaser

Florida State v Wake Forest

FSU used all their mojo to almost beat Notre Dame week one, now they are back to sucking.

The Bet: Wake Forest Spread

Alabama (1) v (11) Florida

You can’t not take the points here and the fact that Florida could’t cover against two mid-major warm up games proves to me that they don’t have what it takes to hang with Bama.

The Bet: Alabama Spread+Over Teaser

SMU v Louisiana Tech

The Bet: SMU Spread

Baylor v Kansas

I hate this bet, FYI.

The Bet: Baylor Spread+Over Teaser

Colorado State v Toledo

MACtion love continues.

The Bet: Toledo Spread

Mississippi State v Memphis

The Bet: Memphis Spread+Under Teaser

Northwestern v Duke

Northern Nerds v Southern Nerds. I predict a rematch of the Civil War and a win for the Union.

The Bet: Northwestern Moneyline

Murray State v Bowling Green

MACTION!

The Bet: Bowling Green Moneyline

Late Slate:

Middle Tennessee v UTSA

The Bet: UTSA Spread+Over Teaser

Charlotte v Georgia State

Charlotte is my own little Cinderella story. I've bet them every game and they are 2-0, not stopping now.

The Bet: Charlotte Spread+Under Teaser

South Carolina v (2) Georgia

Goodluck South Carolina, no like really, goodluck. You might lose by 50 and then 5 Points might burn to the ground.

The Bet: Georgia Spread+Over Teaser

Utah v San Diego State

SDSU is another one of my darlings. Took them as a moneyline underdog against a Power-5 team last week and they won outright.

The Bet: SDSU Spread

Incarnate Word v Texas State

I mean there is no way a school named Incarnate Word knows how to play football

The Bet: Texas St Spread

Auburn (22) v (10) Penn State

Big game of the night. White Out game in Happy Valley. For the record, I have no confidence in Auburn to win this game. They have a new coach, lost a few key players on defense, and Bo Nix looks like a guy who will pee his pants once the crowd starts going “Oh, oh oh oh ohhhhh WE ARE PENN STATE!” However, 5 points is a lot for an SEC school to be an underdog on and Penn State embodies everything there is about the Big Ten which means if they win, its going to be close.

The Bet: Auburn Spread

Central Michigan v LSU

MACtion shows up and keeps it close-ish.

The Bet: Under 61.5 Total Points

South Carolina State v New Mexico State

I know betting on the worst program in college football (okay maybe second worst @UMASS) is normally not smart but at home against an FCS school with a pick ‘em is too easy a bet not to make.

The Bet: New Mexico St Moneyline

Jackson State v UL-Monroe

Deion Sanders is a fraud and his name recognition alone has this line nowhere close to where it would be if some rando was head coach at Jackson St. I might put my life savings on this one (heads up my life savings gets you like 2 taquitos at 7/11).

The Bet: ULM Spread

Stanford v Vanderbilt

I hate this bet. What's up with all the Nerds v Nerds games today???

The Bet: Stanford Spread+Over Teaser

Tulane v (17) Ole Miss

I mean this is just a ridiculous number. This game could be a shootout and the under could still hit. I predict both will be true.

The Bet: Under 77.5 Total Points

Oklahoma State v Boise State

The Bet: OK State Spread

PAC-12 After Dark:

Arizona State (19) v (23) Brigham Young

Sorority Sisters v Saving Yourself For Marriage. Is there a way both teams can lose???
