The top five teams in the country are all heavy favorites during the Week 3 college football schedule. Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan and Clemson are all favored by at least 25 points, according to the latest Week 3 college football odds at Caesars Sportsbook. There are still plenty of intriguing Week 3 college football spreads, though, including a matchup between No. 12 BYU (+3.5) and No. 25 Oregon on Saturday afternoon. Oregon is looking to extend its 20-game home winning streak, while BYU is coming off a double-overtime win against then-No. 9 Baylor last week.
The other matchup between ranked teams this week features No. 24 Texas A&M (-6.5) playing host to No. 13 Miami at 9 p.m. ET. Should you be backing either side of that spread with your Week 3 college football bets?

Top Week 3 college football expert predictions
One of Sallee’s top college football picks for Week 3: He’s backing No. 6 Oklahoma to cover the 11.5-point spread against Nebraska in a noon ET kickoff in Lincoln. Nebraska is trying to quickly regroup after losing to Georgia Southern as a 23.5-point favorite last week, which resulted in head coach Scott Frost getting fired. The Cornhuskers also lost to Northwestern as 12.5-point favorites in Week 0, so the betting market has been way off on them multiple times this season.
Oklahoma is facing its first real test of the season after blowing out UTEP and Kent State in its first two games. Junior quarterback Dillon Gabriel has thrown for 529 yards and five touchdowns, while senior running back Eric Gray is averaging 6.7 yards per carry. The Sooners have plenty of firepower, so Sallee is not worried about the double-digit spread on Saturday afternoon. See who else Sallee likes at SportsLine.
