Louisville wasn’t as bad as it looked against Syracuse, suffering from three turnovers, but last week’s win at UCF was impressive and this Friday night crowd at Cardinal Stadium should be electric. We had a winning week in Week 2 and are looking to build on it: Straight up: 30-7 (13-3 in Week 2) ATS: 17-20 (9-7 in Week 2) Here are our picks against the spread for Week 3. Rest isn’t a big advantage as there aren’t that many injuries yet and you want to keep the momentum going after a game like that, not hit the reset button.

One team in the top five will take its first loss of the year in the matchup between Penn State and Iowa, and other top teams have a real chance to falter based on some of the early betting. A bye week this early in the season for Florida State, coming off that upset win over LSU, might not be a good thing. After another weekend of shake-ups in the top 10 of the college football polls, the Week 6 slate will likely cause even more drastic movement. Now, he has turned his attention to the Week 3 college football odds and is sharing his top three best bets over at SportsLine. We do think the Cardinals are being overlooked here. The point spread is close for a reason, as this is a massive game with serious implications for both teams moving forward. That could be significant on a short week for the Cardinals, six days after they answered pressing questions with a 20-14 win at UCF. Florida State beat LSU, 24-23, in its second game of the season and will have the rest advantage coming off a bye week. After a stellar Thursday slate that featured an ACC/Sun Belt doubleheader and a rare Thursday night edition of Pac-12 After Dark, we have three more games on the docket for Friday. This is a decent matchup to start the weekend, with both teams coming off huge wins. Friday night lights are always special and Week 9 of the college football season is no exception.
