Top-ranked Georgia will play a true road game for the first time this season when it travels to Kentucky for its SEC opener on Saturday night during the Week 3 college football schedule. The Bulldogs crushed then-No. 14 Clemson to open the season before cruising to a 48-3 win over Tennessee Tech last week. They are 24-point favorites in the Week 3 college football odds, as Kentucky is coming off a 31-6 loss to South Carolina. The Wildcats will be motivated to bounce back against the top team in the country, but can you trust them with your Week 3 college football bets?
No. 4 Alabama is also on the road this weekend, traveling to Camp Randall Stadium for a matchup with Wisconsin at noon ET on Saturday. The Badgers have failed to cover the spread in their first two games this season, and they are 15.5-point underdogs in the Week 3 college football spreads.

Top college football predictions for Week 3
One of the college football picks the model is high on during Week 3: Washington (-4.5) covers in its Apple Cup rivalry game at Washington State in a 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. This line has fallen after opening at -9.5. 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 Demon Deacons are off to a rough start this season, allowing Virginia to erase a 30-17 deficit in a 31-30 final last week. Their defense is allowing 383.5 yards per game, which does not bode well as they get set to face one of the best offenses in college football.
Ole Miss has outscored its first two opponents 128-3, covering the spread as a heavy favorite in both of those games. Senior quarterback Jaxson Dart has thrown for 795 yards and six touchdowns, completing 87% of his 54 pass attempts. The Rebels have covered the spread in five of their last six games against ACC opponents, and SportsLine’s model has them covering in almost 60% of its latest simulations.
