We are back for the fourth week of College Football, but because the NCAA is full of a bunch of goofballs, this is actually Week 3 of the CFB season.
Let’s be honest, this slate is kind of terrible. However, bets will still be made, games will be sweat, and tickets will hopefully be cashed.
Let’s get right into this week of College Football!
NCAA Football Week 3 Best Bets
Here is how we stand on betting CFB through three weeks of play.
- 12-18
- -7.07 units
Not gonna lie, not a great performance from myself. After starting 4-1 last Saturday, we ended the day 1-8 to really break my heart.
Don’t get me started on that Texas/Alabama Under. Ridiculous.
Some things worth highlighting:
- NCAAF Prop Bets
- 6-1 +4.96 units
Even in the darkest of times, we all must search for the light.
Saturday NCAA Football Slate
Central Michigan @ #9 Notre Dame
Matchup Information
- Venue & Location: Notre Dame Stadium (South Bend, IN)
- Date: Saturday, September 16th, 2023
- Kick Off: 2:30pm Eastern
- Broadcast: Peacock
The Pick: Notre Dame -34.5 (-110) Bovada
The Irish have absolutely ran through every single opponent they’ve faced.
They get another cupcake game at home against the Chippewas, and there is zero doubt in my mind that Sam Hartman and Notre Dame run away with this one.
Central Michigan managed just 7 points against Michigan State in their opener, and barely beat New Hampshire last week.
Now they go into South Bend and are 5 TD underdogs to the Irish.
They might not see the scoreboard at all if the Irish so choose.
#19 Oklahoma @ Tulsa
Matchup Information
- Venue & Location: Chapman Stadium (Tulsa, OK)
- Date: Saturday, September 16th, 2023
- Kick Off: 3:30pm Eastern
- Broadcast: ESPN2
The Pick: Oklahoma -27.5 (-110) BetOnline
Bonus Pick: Oklahoma/Tulsa Over 60 (-110) BetUS
The Sooners have been good to us this year, and this weekend I think they get another cover and push the over.
The Sooners won 73-0 in Week 1, and then got the cover against SMU in Week 2, winning 28-11. Now Oklahoma goes on the road against Tulsa who has this game circled being in the same state.
Tulsa beat up on AR-Pine Bluff 42-7 in Week 1, but then traveled to Seattle to take on the #8 Washington Huskies. The Golden Hurricane got blown out, losing 43-10 and letting Michael Penix Jr. to throw for 409 yards and 3 TDs.
Dillon Gabriel is going to torch this Tulsa defense, and it wouldn’t surprise me if the Sooners score 60 on their own.
Kansas @ Nevada
Matchup Information
- Venue & Location: Mackay Stadium (Reno, NV)
- Date: Saturday, September 16th, 2023
- Kick Off: 10:30pm Eastern
- Broadcast: CBS Sports Network
The Pick: Kansas -28 (-110) BetUS
The Jayhawks are back.
They are 2-0 for the second straight year, and get another “should be easy” game in Nevada.
Kansas has scored 82 points in 2 games this year, and show no signs of slowing down. QB Jalon Daniels is back and looked phenomenal in his opener against Illinois.
He threw for 277 yards and 2 TDs while Devin Neal added 120 and 1 TD on the ground.
The Jayhawks offense is explosive, and they should thrive against Nevada.
The Wolfpack are 0-2 and are getting outscored 99-20 by opponents. You read that right.
They lost 66-14 to USC in Week 1 and 33-6 to Idaho last week.
Nevada is hot garbage, and the Jayhawks should have no problem blowing them out of the water on Saturday Night.
Bonus Pick: Kansas 1H TT Over 23.5 (-135) Bovada
