Plenty Of Tight Betting Lines In College Football Week 3
The shortest point spread in Week 3 of the college football schedule is 2.5 points and there’s enough of them to make for a sweet poker hand. Four of a kind, in fact.
To all our Mountaineer friends…

West Virginia is a 2.5-point pick over Pittsburgh. That’s grown from an opening line of Mountaineers -1. Likewise, in the Iowa State vs Ohio game, the favored Cyclones saw their line increase from 1.5 to 2.5 points.
New Mexico is also the 2.5-point chalk over New Mexico State, as is Syracuse over Purdue.
Wolverines Expected To Bowl Over Bowling Green
When it comes to big spreads, none is bigger than #2 Michigan’s line against MAC opponent Bowling Green. The Wolverines are established as a 40.5-point betting choice.
A close second, the #13 Oregon Ducks are a 38-point pick at home over the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors.
Highest And Lowest Points Of Week 3 College Football
When all is said and done, a lot of points are expected at the end of the Rainbow Warriors vs Ducks game. The total on the Hawaii-Oregon game is set at 68. That’s the highest number on any FBS Week 3 contest. Both schools are 1-1 on the over/under this season.
Two games are showing a low total of 42 points. That would be the Northern Illinois-Nebraska contest and the tilt between Iowa and Western Michigan. The Broncos have gone under in eight successive games. Meanwhile, the Hawkeyes have hit the under six times in the past seven games.
Biggest Top-25 Spread Movement
There’s been plenty of line movement among top-25 top teams leading up to Week 3 of the college football season.
The #18 Colorado vs Colorado State line jumped from Buffaloes -21.5 to Colorado -24. Florida State (#3) shortened from the -28 chalk over Boston College to just a -24.5 pick.

Notre Dame (#9) was heading in the other direction. The Fighting Irish lengthened from a 31.5-point pick over Central Michigan to the 34.5-point chalk.
However, the ranked team making the biggest spread move was #25 Iowa. The Hawkeyes grew from a 24.5-point favorite against Western Michigan to the 28.5-point chalk over the Broncos.
