Week 3 of the NFL season brings the league’s biggest bettors back to work, and HQ’s latest round-up covers every matchup with picks, sleepers and a look at a Florida program that just won its biggest game of the year.
Picks For Every Matchup
HQ’s complete Week 3 betting guide runs through every matchup on the board, including Ravens-Cowboys in Brazil on CBS and Bengals-Steelers. Jamey Eisenberg’s favorite sleepers include Quinshon Judkins, Tony Pollard and more.
The sleepers list is designed to catch players who might not show up on the main betting boards. It’s meant to give bettors a chance to find value beyond the stars that dominate the public conversation.
The Gators After Their Win Over Ole Miss
Florida’s first-year coach now has a chance to join four other coaches in the FBS after a seismic win over Ole Miss. The win over Ole Miss put him in position to reach that milestone.
The milestone would put him alongside four other coaches who have reached it before, each one having led their own program to a level that few can match.
What The Trojans Record Shows
The Trojans have dropped to 5-15 against top 25 opponents under Lincoln Riley after a loss to Oregon. That record is a reminder of how difficult it is to perform consistently against elite competition, even for teams with talent.
The Trojans will need to improve that mark if they want to compete with the top teams in the sport. As it stands, their record against ranked opponents is among the worst in college football.
