No. 20 Arizona will go on the road for the first time this season when it travels to No. 14 Kansas State on Friday night in one of the biggest games on the Week 3 college football schedule. Arizona has failed to cover the spread in each of its games so far this season, giving up 39 points in a win over New Mexico before scraping by with a 22-10 win over Northern Arizona. Kansas State is coming off a road win at Tulane, and it is a 7-point favorite in the Week 3 college football odds from SportsLine consensus. The other ranked vs. ranked matchup this week pits No. 6 Missouri (-16.5) vs. No. 24 Boston College in a 12:45 p.m. ET contest on Saturday.
Missouri is coming off back-to-back shutout victories, but it is taking a step up in competition this week. Boston College already took down then-No. 10 Florida State in Week 1, so should you back the Eagles as large underdogs with your Week 3 college football bets?

Top college football predictions for Week 3
One of the college football picks the model is high on during Week 3: Washington (-4) covers in its rivalry game at Washington State in a 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. Washington won the most games in school history last season, advancing to the national championship game before coming up short against Michigan. The Huskies are playing under first-year head coach Jedd Fisch, who has gotten off to a strong start with blowout wins over Weber State and Eastern Michigan.
Fisch brought in some key transfers to help reload a roster that lost a significant number of players to graduation and the transfer portal. Senior quarterback Will Rogers was the biggest addition, and he has already thrown for 511 yards, five touchdowns and zero interceptions through his first two starts in Seattle. Running back Jonah Coleman, who has rushed for 231 yards and three scores, gives Washington a balanced attack that will be too much for Washington State’s mediocre defense to contain. SportsLine’s model has Rogers throwing for more than 330 yards, helping the Huskies cover the spread in well over 60% of simulations. See the rest of its Week 3 college football picks here.
Another prediction: No. 5 Ole Miss (-23.5) covers the huge spread at Wake Forest in a 6:30 p.m. ET kickoff on Saturday. The Rebels have one of the best offenses in college football, and they have outscored their first two opponents a combined 128-3. Senior quarterback Jaxson Dart’s Heisman Trophy campaign is well underway, throwing for 795 yards, six touchdowns and zero interceptions, despite getting to rest down the stretch of both games.
The Rebels also have an elite rushing attack headlined by senior running back Henry Parrish Jr., who has rushed for 205 yards and four touchdowns on 22 carries. Wake Forest gave up 31 points in a loss to Virginia at home last week, allowing 14 fourth-quarter points after entering the final period with a 30-17 lead. Ole Miss has covered the spread in five of its last six games against ACC opponents, and the model has the Rebels covering almost 60% of the time. See picks for every other game in Week 3 here.
