College Football Week 3 Picks, DFS Plays: Memphis vs. Florida State, Alabama vs. Wisconsin, LSU vs. South Carolina, Boston College vs. Missouri, Oregon vs. Oregon State, Colorado vs. Colorado State and more

1 hour 4 minutes

Memphis Tigers (+6.5) at Florida State Seminoles — Noon, ESPN

Brian: I’ve had this one marked as a potential upset since the preseason. Memphis has been a contender for the Group of 5 playoff spot, and Florida State hasn’t impressed me enough to change my mind. I need to see more from FSU to believe in them.

Brian’s Pick: Memphis +6.5

Jordan’s Pick: Memphis +6.5

No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide (-15.5) at Wisconsin Badgers — Noon, FOX

Brian: This spread is bigger than I expected. Last week’s close call with USF might scare some off Alabama, but USF troubled them last year, too. I think Alabama dominates because Wisconsin won’t contain Jalen Milroe.

Brian’s Pick: Alabama -15.5

Jordan’s Pick: Alabama -15.5

No. 16 LSU Tigers (-7.5) at South Carolina Gamecocks — Noon, ABC

Brian: I’m surprised this game is hosting College Gameday. South Carolina shocked Kentucky, but I wasn’t high on the Wildcats to begin with. South Carolina has a strong pass rush, but LSU is more talented, and I like betting on talent.

Brian’s Pick: LSU -7.5

Jordan’s Pick: LSU -7.5

No. 24 Boston College Eagles (+17.5) at No. 6 Missouri Tigers — Noon, SEC Network

Brian: I didn’t expect BC to be ranked this season, but here we are. Missouri can score, but BC showed they can hang with top teams, and Bill O’Brien has proven he can coach. BC keeps this close.

Brian’s Pick: Boston College +17.5

Jordan’s Pick: Boston College +17.5

No. 9 Oregon Ducks (-16.5) at Oregon State Beavers — 3:30 p.m., FOX

Jordan: I trusted Dan Lanning to figure things out last week, but I’m doubling down on Oregon here. The talent gap will show in this rivalry game.

Jordan’s Pick: Oregon -16.5

Brian’s Pick: Oregon -16.5

Tulane Green Wave (+13.5) at No. 15 Oklahoma Sooners — 3:30 p.m., ESPN

Jordan: OU looked shaky, and Tulane performed well last week. With Tennessee coming up next for Oklahoma, this could be a trap game, but I’m taking the Sooners.

Jordan’s Pick: Oklahoma -13.5

Brian: Tulane impressed me last week, and Oklahoma struggled with Houston. I think Tulane keeps it close.

Brian’s Pick: Tulane +13.5

Texas A&M Aggies (-4.5) at Florida Gators — 3:30 p.m., ABC

Jordan: Florida’s QB situation could cause confusion, while Texas A&M is better on both lines. I’m taking the Aggies.

Jordan’s Pick: Texas A&M -4.5

Brian’s Pick: Texas A&M -4.5

West Virginia Mountaineers (-3.5) at Pitt Panthers — 3:30 p.m., ESPN2

Brian: Dez Reid has transformed Pitt’s offense, and I expect them to keep rising.

Brian’s Pick: Pitt +3.5

Jordan’s Pick: Pitt +3.5

Washington State Cougars (+5.5) at Washington Huskies — 3:30 p.m., Peacock

Jordan: WSU’s offense is clicking, and UW hasn’t been tested. The Cougars could pull off an upset.

Jordan’s Pick: Washington State +5.5

Brian’s Pick: Washington State +5.5

Colorado Buffaloes (-7.5) at Colorado State Rams — 7:30 p.m., CBS

Jordan: Colorado is a mess, and losing Shilo hurts. I’m taking CSU with Fort Collins fired up.

Jordan’s Pick: Colorado State +7.5

Brian’s Pick: Colorado State +7.5
