Looking at the entire college football slate on a Saturday can be intimidating.

How do you decide which games you want to bet on?

One of the ways you can narrow down your choices is by looking at some significant betting trends. Michigan and Oregon bucked some significant trends in Week 2, so maybe betting against the trends is the thing to do?

Here are the three wild betting trends for the Week 3 college football slate.

All odds listed at via WynnBET Sportsbook.

Coastal Carolina vs Buffalo +13.5 | Over/Under 57.5

Buffalo is 12-1 against the spread in its last 13 home games.

Buffalo is set as an almost a two touchdown underdog against Coastal Carolina this weekend, and the Bulls have been stellar against the spread in recent seasons. They’re 12-1 both straight up and against the spread in their last 13 home games.

They say good teams win and great teams cover, and they’ll need a great performance this week if they want to hang with Sun Belt favorite Coastal Carolina.

Buffalo covered the massive 43.5-point spread against Wagner in its only home game so far this season.

Michigan State vs Miami -6.5 | Over/Under 56.5

Miami is 1-7 against the spread in its last eight games against the Big 10

In one of the best games of the weekend, Miami is set to host Michigan State on Saturday. Miami will try to rebound from a disappointing start to its season. The Hurricanes got smoked by Alabama in Week 1, and then barely escaped with the 25-23 win against Appalachian State.

Michigan State has looked improved in its first two weeks, and will enter the game as a 6.5-point underdog. 

The last time Miami played a Big 10 team was on Dec. 27, 2018 when it lost 35-3 to the Wisconsin Badgers.

Auburn vs. Penn State -6 | Over/Under 53

Penn State is 0-5-1 against the spread in its last six games against SEC teams

It’s time to find out whether or not No. 10 Penn State is for real. After two impressive wins against Wisconsin and Ball State, Penn State is set as a 6-point favorite against Auburn in the nationally televised showdown.

History isn’t on Penn State’s side, as it is 0-5-1 ATS in its last six games against the SEC. The last time the Nittany Lions played an SEC opponent was on New Year's Day when they lost 27-24 as a 4.5-point favorite against Kentucky.
