NCAA Football: Week 3 Odds and Picks for Online Bookies
Welcome to NCAA Football Week 3, where the great matchups continue after a so-so Week 2. Pay per head agents and bookies need to pay attention to the following 3 college football games.
Saturday, Sept. 17
2 Florida State -2 at 10 Louisville
Louisville gets its first real test of the season when the high-scoring Cardinals host second-ranked Florida State. Florida State was brilliant when beating then 10 ranked Ole Miss 45 to 34 in Week 1 after being down at halftime.
Louisville scored 70 points in their first game of the season. They scored 62 in their second game of the season.
Online bookies should pay attention to the money that flows onto both the Seminoles and the Cardinals in this matchup.
Both pros and Joes are going to bet on FSU and Louisville at the odds. This might be one of those rare instances where almost 50% is on both sides of the spread.
1 Alabama -10 at 17 Ole Miss
Ole Miss has beaten Alabama straight up in 2 head-to-head match ups. That’s going to make some underdog bettors salivate even though, on paper, Ole Miss shouldn’t have much shot against the Crimson Tide.
Bookies had better be aware of Ole Miss’s penchant for drubbing the Tide. The Rebels get Ole Miss at home for this game. That means something. Bookies and per head agents should make sure that max betting limits are in place on Ole Miss to upset Alabama on the money line. Visit PayPerHead.com’s full library here for more useful tips.
4 Ohio State -2 at 14 Oklahoma
70% of the public backs Ohio State at -2 points to put a beating onto Oklahoma. Even though Oklahoma is at home for this game, it’s hard to see how pro college football bettors take the 2 points and side with the Sooners.
Ohio State has been brilliant offensively and defensively in Week 1 and Week 2. Oklahoma lost to Houston straight up as a -13-point favorite in Week 1. PPH bookies may have to lay off some of the action that they’re going to receive on Ohio State to win by more than 2 in this battle.
12 Michigan State at 18 Notre Dame-7.5
Michigan State got the week off while Notre Dame used the week to get things together on defense. Although close to 68% of the public backs the Spartans at +7.5 points, the fact is that Notre Dame had Texas on the ropes in Week 1 before losing 47 to 50 to the Longhorns in overtime.
The Fighting Irish came back with a stunning 39 to 10 win over Nevada as a -27.5-point home favorite.
Notre Dame is going to earn some play from pro bettors. Michigan State could only beat Furman 28 to 13 as a -37.5 favorite in Week 1. The Irish are slowly putting it all together. Online bookies had better take notice. For even more useful tips for online bookies visit PayPerHead.com’s full library here.
