๐Ÿ’ฐ College football odds & expert picks: Week 3

Here are the latest college football odds for every Week 3 game via the best college football betting sites, which update live in real time. 


๐Ÿ“Š Florida vs. LSU odds

  • Date: Saturday, Sept. 13
  • Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. ET
  • Location: Tiger Stadium (Baton Rough, La.)
  • How to watch: ABC

๐Ÿ”ฎ Florida vs. LSU prediction: LSU -7

Here is why I'm betting on LSU to cover the spread in my Florida vs. LSU prediction:

"It's difficult to get a read on either program heading into this game after Florida was upset at home by South Florida last week, essentially ending the Gators' College Football Playoff odds, and LSU looked discombobulated in a win against Louisiana Tech. But given how well LSU played on the road against Clemson to open the season, the Tigers likely won't be caught playing with their food again this week."


๐Ÿ“Š Texas A&M vs. Notre Dame odds

  • Date: Saturday, Sept. 13
  • Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. ET
  • Location: Notre Dame Stadium (Notre Dame, Ind.)
  • How to watch: NBC

๐Ÿ”ฎ Texas A&M vs. Notre Dame prediction: Under 50.5

Here is why Philip Wood is taking the Under with his Texas A&M vs. Notre Dame prediction:

"Last season, Notre Dame averaged 201.0 rushing yards per game. The Aggies are already giving up over 140 yards per game this season, so I expect Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love to run all over this defense and limit Marcel Reedโ€™s possessions. And when Reed does have the ball, I expect him to struggle against a Notre Dame defense that held Miami to just 205 passing yards."


๐Ÿ“Š Minnesota vs. California odds

  • Date: Saturday, Sept. 13
  • Kickoff: 10:30 p.m. ET
  • Location: California Memorial Stadium (Berkeley, Calif.)
  • How to watch: ESPN

๐Ÿ”ฎ Minnesota vs. California prediction: Kendrick Raphael Under 46.5 rushing yards (-118)

Here is why Brenden Schaeffer thinks Golden Bears running back Kendrick Raphael will go Under 46.5 rushing yards in his best Minnesota vs. California player props:

"California running back Kendrick Raphael carried just nine times for 37 yards in the Golden Bearsโ€™ only FBS game of the season, a 19-point win in a positive game script. His rushing line for Week 3 is above that mark despite a tough matchup on the ground."
