College Football betting picks against the spread Week 3 2020

College football betting picks night week 3
(14)Central Florida(-7.5) at Georgia Tech(3): I was hoping for a higher line, but I’m confident enough in what I saw from the Bees last week in Tallahassee to still think they win this outright in Atlanta. UCF is going to have a tough time without Mackenzie Milton. Gabriel is still prone to mistakes.
(23)Appalachian State(-4.5) at Marshall(1): I wont be one bit surprised if the Mountaineers lose this. Charlotte’s defense gave them some trouble last week and Marshall’s line is a ton better. I have questions about Marshall’s offense, but I’ll say they stay at least within a field goal at home. I’ll follow the Herd.
Florida Atlantic at Georgia Southern(-2.5)(3): This line opened at -3 in favor of the Owls, but the game itself is in jeopardy now after 11 players and coaches for FAU popped positive for the Rona. As of now this game is still on, and this line is still way too low. Shai Werts and Oklahoma State transfer J.D. King are for real. They’re going to run for another 300 combined yards in this one. Give me the Eagles.
Troy(-3.5) at Middle Tennessee State(1): There’s no word on if the Blue Raiders were actually extracted from the Blair Field turf and overnighted back to Murfreesboro. Troy? Well, they got whacked at home by Appalachian State. Both teams looked awful, but I’ll take the Raiders at home. I don’t know why. Home field advantage doesn’t really exist in 2020.
SMU(-13.5) at North Texas(2): It’s another road game for the Ponies against a mid-major. They almost lost outright in San Marcos. This isn’t much of a road game just 30 minutes up I-35 in Denton, but the risk of a loss is still real here. I’ll say SMU wins, but doesn’t cover.
(17)Miami(FL) at (18)Louisville(-2.5)(2): This is going to be a great game. That’s the only thing I know for sure. Miami hasn’t had a good run in Louisville of late. In fact, they haven’t won there since 1984. In the two games since, Louisville has spanked the Canes by a combined 62-20 in Louisville. The Cards want revenge for last year and I think they get it. I’ll take Louisville, but not by more than a touchdown.
Louisiana Tech at Southern Mississippi(-5.5)(5): Yeah, I know the Aggies haven’t played a game yet, but this team is loaded with offensive talent. No one gave South Alabama a chance in Hattiesburg either. I think La Tech walks in there and wins big. They return most of a team that shut out Miami in the bowl game last year. That’s Miami Florida, not Ohio.
Texas State(-5.5) at Louisiana-Monroe(2): We didn’t learn much from watching the Warhawks get throttled at West Point last week. Texas State has looked good and have been a lot of fun to watch so far, but I don’t know that they’re ready to win a road game yet. If Brady McBride starts, I’ll take the Bobcats. If not, I’ll take the Bobcats and lower the bet to 1.
Wake Forest at North Carolina State(-2.5)(2) UPDATE Saturday at 10:53am: The Wolfpack return most skill players, including their three talented running backs, from last year. However, they haven’t played a game yet. You could almost say that Wake hasn’t either. Being the sacrificial lamb for Clemson didn’t teach us much. I originally took Wake here, but with the Wolfpack having some fans on hand, I’m going to flip and take the Pack.

Stay tuned throughout the season for every college football game picked against the spread! I usually have my picks up about 24 hours before kickoff in order to get the most accurate spread possible. If I change one, I will update the article and post on Twitter if I can.
I ended up with three ones, six twos, five threes, a four, and I’m going bigger with two five pointers this week. Trying to make up for Iowa State punching a hole in my bank last week.
