The college football season is in full swing, as Week 3 features some very intriguing nonconference matchups and a bunch of good situational spots. This week runs the gamut, ranging from letdown and lookahead spots to more Big Brother vs. Little Brother games. Teams are getting a little bit more predictable with more data points, but situational advantages can play a huge part.
Here are some spots to consider betting in Week 3:
Ohio Bobcats at Iowa State Cyclones (-18, 49)
The two Power 5 schools in Iowa are both in very bad situational spots this week as sizable favorites. We’ll start in Ames, where the Cyclones are laying three scores against the Bobcats after a very emotional win against Iowa. Ohio has been much more impressive than most people anticipated heading into the season and has a crack at an Iowa State team coming off of an enormous victory. The Cyclones shouldn’t be at risk of losing this game, but covering with a hangover after the CyHawk Trophy matchup is a very real possibility.
