No. 14 Kansas State vs. No. 20 Arizona, Friday, 8 p.m. ET on Fox
Scott Sewell-USA TODAY Sports activities
Opening Line: Kansas State -8.5
Blake Schuster: Arizona +7.5
Kansas State was very fortunate to flee Tulane with a win and now they get a ranked Arizona crew on a brief week. Give me the Cats and the factors in what’s in all probability and ugly, low-scoring recreation.
Mitchell Northam: Kansas State -7.5
Wildcats by a landing or so at dwelling feels proper in opposition to an Arizona crew that hasn’t appeared all that nice in opposition to opponents a lot worse than Ok-State.
Christian D’Andrea: Kansas State -7.5
The Arizona passing assault may devastate a KSU protection that allow three completely different Tulane receivers common greater than 20 yards per catch final week. However the Wildcats have performed a harder schedule so far and are at dwelling, so… Kansas State, I assume?
Michelle Martinelli: Kansas State -7.5
Arizona will get its first style of the Massive 12 within the Massive 12 with this matchup, and I think it gained’t go in addition to it hopes, particularly on the street. These Wildcats barely received previous Northern Arizona final week, whereas the opposite Wildcats survived a great Tulane crew. Take the purple Wildcats.
Tyler Nettuno: Kansas State -7.5
The Wildcats appeared like they have been in some hassle for some time in opposition to Tulane, which is regarding. However whereas Arizona will be harmful offensively, it gave up 39 factors to New Mexico and struggled in opposition to Northern Arizona.
Wisconsin vs. No. 4 Alabama, Saturday, Midday ET on Fox
Will McLelland-Imagn Pictures
Opening Line: Alabama -10
Blake Schuster: Alabama -16.5
This looks as if it’s going to be a type of video games that Alabama finds itself tied at halftime earlier than the Crimson Tide put up three unanswered landing drives within the fourth quarter to blow it open. Wisconsin’s offense gained’t be capable of sustain.
Mitchell Northam: Wisconsin +16.5
The Badgers being a virtually three-possession dwelling canine looks like an excessive amount of right here. Particularly in opposition to an Alabama crew nonetheless figuring itself out below a brand new teaching employees. Final week, the Tide waited till the fourth quarter to essentially flip it on. Replicating that recipe in Madison could possibly be tough.
Christian D’Andrea: Alabama -16.5
I simply watched this crew battle in opposition to Western Michigan and South Dakota in back-to-back weeks. You may solely get burned on so many cutback runs earlier than it breaks you.
Michelle Martinelli: Wisconsin +16.5
Look, Alabama goes to win in Madison, however this Crimson Tide squad is clearly nonetheless figuring out some kinks and wasn’t capable of put away South Florida till late in final week’s recreation. This can be a uncommon nonconference street recreation for Alabama, and it’ll be a rowdy atmosphere — a giant problem for its barely nonetheless discombobulated crew.
Tyler Nettuno: Alabama -16.5
The Crimson Tide didn’t look superb in opposition to South Florida, and the Badgers are a a lot harder take a look at. Nonetheless, I count on Alabama to finally draw back by simply sufficient to cowl this.
South Carolina vs. No. 16 LSU, Saturday, Midday ET on ABC
John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports activities
Opening Line: LSU -9
Blake Schuster: LSU -7
I really feel a push coming. South Carolina can’t transfer the ball constantly and LSU can’t be trusted interval. I’ll take the extra gifted crew, I assume.
Mitchell Northam: South Carolina +7
I’m not likely positive what to consider both these groups, however the Gamecocks are coming off a giant win and are internet hosting in a main window on ABC. They may not win, however they’ll present up, I believe.
Christian D’Andrea: LSU -7
Nothing would overjoy me greater than a despondent Brian Kelly press convention, however I worry we’ll have to attend some time for the subsequent one.
Michelle Martinelli: LSU -7
South Carolina’s offense enters Week 3 with the 122nd-best FBS offense. Completely not.
Tyler Nettuno: LSU -7
South Carolina’s protection seems to be fairly legit, however Outdated Dominion and Kentucky pale as compared offensively in comparison with this Tigers passing recreation. This one in all probability gained’t be as shut because the fits at ESPN need you to assume it is going to be.
No. 6 Missouri vs. No. 24 Boston School, Saturday 12:45 p.m. ET on SEC Community
Wealthy Barnes-USA TODAY Sports activities
Opening Line: Mizzou -17.5
Blake Schuster: Boston School +17
Who do we expect is extra nervous for this recreation? A BC crew that simply beat FSU in Tallahassee or a Mizzou crew that’s ranked within the high 10 and has a legit playoff path. Missouri wins, however it’s far too shut for consolation.
Mitchell Northam: Boston School +17
Mizzou ain’t performed no one and Invoice O’Brien has the Eagles overachieving.
Christian D’Andrea: Missouri -17
BC is a wonderfully cromulent crew. However Mizzou has playoff bonafides and Luther Burden, who hasn’t gotten the prospect to stretch his legs but in a blowout heavy early schedule.
Michelle Martinelli: Missouri -17
A ranked-ranked matchup? With BC AND Mizzou? Unsure what world we’re dwelling in, however this recreation has absurdity written throughout it. Tigers at dwelling, I assume. In the event that they’re for actual this season, they need to have little hassle placing BC away.
Tyler Nettuno: Missouri -17
Might Boston School be fairly respectable? Positive, however I don’t assume a win in opposition to a doubtlessly very dangerous Florida State crew tells us that someway. Mizzou ought to roll right here in the event that they’re pretty much as good as marketed.
Oregon State vs. No. 9 Oregon, Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET on Fox
Opening Line: Oregon -20.5
Blake Schuster: Oregon State +16.5
Look, if oddsmakers are going to maintain giving us double-digit spreads in opposition to the Geese, I’m going to maintain taking the factors till Dillon Gabriel proves in any other case.
Mitchell Northam: Oregon State +16.5
REVENGE OF THE PAC-2.
Christian D’Andrea: Oregon State +16.5
This can be a silly line for a rivalry recreation to start with, however issue within the Geese’ incapacity to tug away from opponents early in 2024 and this looks like a lure.
Michelle Martinelli: Oregon State +16.5
The Geese’ offense isn’t fairly firing precisely the way in which it was anticipated to — at the least not but. Particularly in Corvallis, the Beavers will probably be pumped up and prepared struggle for the consideration of what’s left of the Pac-12.
Tyler Nettuno: Oregon State +16.5
It could be a bit overreactive, however the Geese look like they might have some points. This unfold simply feels approach too huge for a rivalry recreation given the way in which Oregon has performed within the first two video games.
Washington vs. Washington State, Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET on Peacock
Jennifer Buchanan-USA TODAY
Opening Line: Washington -8.5
Blake Schuster: Washington State +4.5
Justice for the Pac-2!
Mitchell Northam: Washington State +4.5
THE PAC-2 STRIKES BACK.
Christian D’Andrea: Washington -4.5
This isn’t the Huskies of previous, and it’s not fairly a house recreation at Lumen Area, however UW wants a press release win within the post-DeBoer period and this might assist fairly a bit.
Michelle Martinelli: Washington -4.5
This isn’t the playoff Huskies from final season, and neither crew has confronted a problem but. We love a rivalry recreation, however I don’t see the Cougars’ protection standing agency right here.
Tyler Nettuno: Washington State +4.5
I’m going out on a little bit of a limb right here, however I believe the Cougars get it carried out right here. The Huskies simply aren’t the identical crew, and this would be the hardest take a look at but in opposition to a Wazzu crew that dealt with enterprise simply in opposition to Texas Tech final week.
Pitt vs. West Virginia, Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2
Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports activities
Opening Line: West Virginia -5.5
Blake Schuster: WVU -2
I’m not saying the Penn State loss was a fluke, however when you’ve a 2+ hour rain delay at halftime, you’re not getting the complete measure of a crew. The Mountaineers unleash hell on Pittsburgh this week.
Mitchell Northam: WVU -2
Pitt wanted a miraculous comeback to beat Cincy final week. Moreover, Pitt simply inexplicably fired its AD. Does anybody be ok with the Panthers proper now?
Christian D’Andrea: Pitt +2
The one fixed within the Yard Brawl is chaos. Except one crew has Pat White, then it’s CHAOS.
Michelle Martinelli: Pitt +2
OK, I lied: That is the sport for absurdity and chaos.
Tyler Nettuno: WVU -2.
Pat Narduzzi spared himself from a seat engulfed in flames with a comeback win over Cincinnati on Saturday, however that doesn’t precisely ease all of the considerations right here.
UCLA vs. Indiana, Saturday, 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC/Peacock
Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports activities
Opening Line: Indiana -1.5
Blake Schuster: Indiana -3
WE’RE BACK ON THE KURTIS ROURKE TRAIN! Time for UCLA’s “Welcome To The Massive Ten” second and an indication of arrival for the Curt Cignetti period in Bloomington.
Mitchell Northam: UCLA +3
I do know the Bruins solely gained by three factors at Hawaii, however they’ve had two weeks to organize for this recreation. Present us one thing, DeShaun Foster.
Christian D’Andrea: UCLA +3
The Bruins aren’t gonna get pantsed at dwelling of their Massive Ten debut in opposition to a conventional convention doormat… proper?
Michelle Martinelli: Indiana -3
UCLA is coming off an early bye and has solely performed one recreation — an unimpressive three-point win over Hawaii. And never that the Hoosiers have performed the hardest schedule up to now, however they’re rolling with the No. 3 protection proper now. It will be a becoming welcome to the Massive Ten for UCLA to lose to Indiana.
Tyler Nettuno: Indiana -3
The Hoosiers haven’t been examined but, however they scored a faculty file 77 factors in Week 2 and should have one thing in Kurtis Rourke. UCLA struggled fairly a bit in its solely recreation up to now in opposition to Hawaii, and I believe this can be a prime alternative for IU to earn a *shudders* Massive Ten win.
Colorado State vs. Colorado, Saturday, 7:30 p.m. ET on CBS
(Picture by Dustin Bradford/Getty Pictures)
Opening Line: Colorado -7.5
Blake Schuster: Colorado -7
However the actual intriguing matchup right here is the postgame handshake.
Mitchell Northam: Colorado -7
I don’t be ok with this, as a result of I believe Deion Sanders is a fraud of a coach, however Colorado State is just not good. Time for Shadeur and Travis Hunter to string collectively some highlights for the professional scouts.
Christian D’Andrea: Colorado -7
Don’t get me incorrect, I’ll root for a Rams win as a result of I get pleasure from chaos, however the expertise disparity right here stays stark.
Michelle Martinelli: Colorado -7
That is extra of a touch upon how dangerous the Rams are trying up to now relatively than a reward of the Buffs. You by no means know with a rivalry recreation, however take the factors right here.
Tyler Nettuno: Colorado -7
This recreation was far nearer than anybody anticipated final yr, however whereas I’m not shopping for the Buffs, I do imagine they need to be tremendous on this recreation if they’ve improved even barely this season.
Virginia vs. Maryland, Saturday, 8 p.m. ET, ACC Community
Jamie Rhodes-USA TODAY Sports activities
Opening Line: Maryland -1.5
Blake Schuster: Virginia +3
Maryland couldn’t maintain off Michigan State at dwelling final week. Give me the Cavaliers and our candy prince Anthony Colandrea to stun the Terps and win outright.
Mitchell Northam: Maryland -3
It looks like Maryland at all times performs effectively in opposition to previous ACC opponents.
Christian D’Andrea: Virginia +3
Anthony Colandrea hours are upon us.
Michelle Martinelli: Maryland -3
Neither crew seems to be significantly good by means of two weeks, however I’m banking on the Terps being mad about dropping a detailed one to Michigan State final week and being desirous to get again to profitable.
Tyler Nettuno: Virginia +3
Maryland squandered what ought to have been a simple dwelling win in opposition to Michigan State final Saturday, whereas the Cavaliers earned a comeback, shootout win in opposition to Wake Forest. I do know which crew has impressed me extra by means of two weeks.
