Opening odds for Week 3 of the college football season

There’s plenty of great action this week in college football, including three matchups of Top 25 teams as the season starts to get into rhythm.

Alabama’s rotated divisional crossover game this year brings them to Gainesville to take on Florida. The Crimson Tide eviscerated Miami in Week 1 44-13, but Nick Saban wasn’t happy with his team’s performance in a 44-13 win over Mercer. The Gators were up 35-3 on the South Florida Bulls at halftime, but struggled late to not cover the 28.5 spread in a 44-20 victory.

Also the Auburn Tigers make a rare trip into Big Ten country to face the Penn State Nittany Lions. This line opened with PSU a touchdown favorite, but it’s been bet down to -5 in early trading. War Eagle has beaten Akron and Alabama State by a combined 122-10 score so far this season, while Penn State got past Wisconsin 16-10 on opening weekend before a 44-13 win last Saturday over Ball State to open the home schedule.
