No. 24 Boston College has been one of the feel-good stories during the early portion of the 2024 college football season and new head coach Bill O’Brien will face his biggest test yet on Saturday when the Eagles travel to take on the No. 6 Missouri Tigers. Missouri is favored by 16.5 according to the latest Week 3 college football odds via the SportsLine consensus and this is one of two top-25 matchups on the Week 3 college football schedule, but there will be plenty of conference games and rivalries.

Top Week 3 college football expert predictions
One of Casale’s top Week 3 college football picks: No. 4 Alabama (-16.5) against Wisconsin on Saturday. After a dominant 63-0 win over Western Kentucky to open the season, the Crimson Tide were tripped up a little in a 42-16 win over South Florida in a game where they were favored by 30.5. They lost the turnover battle 3-0 and were actually outgained on the ground 206 to 199.
However, Alabama was able to put its foot on the gas in the second half to earn another comfortable victory and now Kalen DeBoer will be hoping to see even more progress with his team getting some key pieces back. The Crimson Tide have only allowed 206 passing yards so far this year and Wisconsin has only averaged 6.4 yards per pass attempt so far this season.
“Alabama has been dealing with offensive line injuries but starting LT Kadyn Proctor should return this week,” Casale said. “It is also important to note that over 80% of the Tide’s offensive production vs. South Florida came after Elijah Pritchett replaced Wilkin Formby (4 holding penalties) at right tackle. Pritchett had been sitting out with a minor injury but came off the bench late in the game. With the offensive line trending up, look for Alabama’s running game to dominate.” See what other picks Casale likes at SportsLine.
