Summary
More than 70 Week 3 college football games were posted for Saturday, with the marquee ranked matchups pricing Louisville as a 1.5-point favorite over No. 16 SMU and LSU as a 3-point road favorite at No. 8 Ole Miss.
Those lines frame one of the season's strongest early slates, which also includes No. 10 Alabama favored by 19.5 over Florida State, No. 3 Notre Dame laying 29.5 against Michigan State and UCLA giving 14 to Purdue.
Alabama-Florida State drew one of the clearest early market moves, with the total falling to 49.5 points from an opening number three points higher.
The schedule starts at 11:30 a.m. ET with Coastal Carolina at Delaware and runs through an 11 p.m. ET kickoff for Purdue at UCLA, spanning neutral-site games such as Arizona State-Kansas in London and multiple ranked SEC and ACC tests.
The release also bundled aggressive sportsbook promotions, with the report highlighting nearly $4,000 to $5,000 in sign-up bonuses tied to Week 3 betting.
