Here is what we see in week three. As a reminder, we do not consult with each other before making our picks so there is some overlap - sometimes we agree and sometimes we disagree.

Arizona State @ Michigan State Over 41.5
The MSU offense will be much stronger with the health of QB, Brian Lewerke. With solid depth at WR, the passing offense will be strong and mixed with passes out of the back field. The Arizona State defense will improve this season, but still has its holes. On the offensive side of the ball, the new QB will play a big part in how this offense runs. The MSU defense will shut down the run, but Coach Edwards will be relentless with the passing attack. This leads me to taking the not so high over.
Maryland (-7) @ Temple
The mighty Terps have been moving the ball and putting up points. Josh Jackson and Jake Funk have led the way and will continue to do so in Philadelphia. The first road game will not present much difficulty for this offense for Temple will provide difficulty on the Maryland defensive backs, but the Temple run game is nonexistent. Both teams will put up points, but the Terrapins will win by two scores.
New Mexico @ Notre Dame (-34.5)
The Irish are coming off an early bye and looking to make a statement in front of the home crowd. The offense will continue to click and put up big points early for the win. New Mexico has no chance.

Arkansas vs Colorado State (Over 57)
You have to assume Arkansas would be able to get their offense clicking under 2nd year head coach Chad Morris, but they have yet to do that this season. Colorado State, on the other hand, has averaged 34.5 points in their opening games of the season. I think this will be a high scoring game as both teams will throw a lot, saving clock for the over.
Oklahoma (-22.5) @ UCLA
Jalen Hurts was built for this offense, and under Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley, he has looked like the next great QB for OU. Hurts has put up Heisman numbers throwing for 591 passing yards and six touchdowns, while also rushing for 223 yards and three touchdowns. I don’t think UCLA stands a chance and it could get ugly.
Texas @ Rice (Over 56)
Texas just lost a heart breaker to LSU and some would think that they would come out tired and worn out after that game. I think it will be the opposite. Texas will come out and look to put up points in an attempt to remind AP Voters that they are an elite team. Rice might score a couple touchdowns as well to help get the over.
