Back at it of college football action. We come into the week with a solid 13-14 and look to keep it going. Here are my plays for week 3 of college action.
Check out the latest episodes of the JCPod and Captain By A Hook for my full breakdowns. All odds are from Fanduel, DraftKings, and BetMGM.
Saturday
Indiana +10.5 (-118)
Indiana has covered now for two straight weeks. I have been really impressed by their defense, and also think their run game is pretty solid. This will most likely be Louisville’s toughest matchup so far this season. I am nervous about Brohm and his record against IU, but I feel as if IU will still be able to keep it within 10. Due to this, I am going to take the home team Hoosiers and the points.
Penn State -14.5 (-110)
Penn State has been impressive so far this year, and seem to be in contention to win the Big 10. They have had an impressive two weeks, and look to build it on this week against Illinois. As for Illinois, I have not been impressed with them so far. They blew the cover week one after almost losing. In week two, they were down 28-7 at half to Kansas and basically were out of the game by then. They managed to lose by 11, but there was a lot of backdooring. I think Penn State’s team overall is a bit better than Kansas. Due to this, I am going to take the Penn State Nittany Lions and the points.
Purdue ML (+115)
Purdue looked a bit more impressive in week 2, but they still have some work to do. This week, they are home dogs to Syracuse. If you base each team off their competition, Purdue has played the two tougher opponents compared to Syracuse. Ryan Walters’ defense for Illinois started to turn around around this time. Due to these factors, I am going to ride the Boilermakers at home and look for them to hand Syracuse their first loss.
Kansas State -3.5 (-115)
This is the first true real test for both Kansas State and Missouri. Both teams come in off wins against teams they should have beat. I have liked what I’ve seen more out of Kansas State than Missouri, so i’m going to be on their side in this matchup. I feel as if Kansas State should be closer to touchdown favorites.
Western Kentucky +29.5
The only reason I like this number is because of how big it is. Ohio State has beat down their competition the last two weeks, but the offense has not pulled away enough to cover a spread yet. Ryan Day teams seem to get better week by week, but the quarterback situation for Ohio State may not be as good as past years. Western Kentucky has been solid so far this year as well. I like Western Kentucky to say within 30. It may be a sweaty one, but I can see Ohio State winning by around 24-28.
Tennessee -5.5 (-110)
I have not been impressed by Florida so far this year. Meanwhile, I like the way Tennessee has been playing so far. There is a world where Florida covers, but I do not see that being today. Give me Tennessee.
Georgia -26.5 (-118)
South Carolina’s offensive line has been having troubles to start the season. They have allowed 23 tackles for loss, and that’s to a North Carolina and Furman defense. Georgia is a step above this, and should give them problems all day. Give me Georgia to cover.
