Predictions for College Football Week 3! – Updated Weather and Vegas Lines

There are 52 Division 1 matchups for Week 3. Updates have been made to include statistics from Week 1-2. A few tweaks have been made to incorporate trends. I look for the percentage correct to continue to go up this week as real time statistical data is now available.

The team highlighted in green is the team predicted to cover the spread listed. I will lock down the picks and Vegas spreads Friday at 5PM to get a better gauge on the percentage correct each week. The game picker will be used in tandem with the intangibles to generate green picks this week.

Just click on the image of the game you are interested in analyzing.
