Vaughn Dalzell breaks down his College Football Week 3 plays starting with Michigan hosting Arkansas State and a few rivalry matchups.
Arkansas State at Michigan (-23.5): O/U 47.5
The Michigan Wolverines had a lot of problems hosting Texas last week which ended their home-winning streak, but a lot of those issues will be repatched with duct tape when Arkansas State comes to town.
The Red Wolves have escaped with two wins by a combined seven points against Central Arkansas and Tulsa, including a touchdown with 3 seconds left to beat Central Arkansas. Jaylen Raynor has been sacked four times and thrown two interceptions through two games, plus the team has four fumbles.
Michigan’s pass rush and pass defense are as good as it gets so I expect Arkansas State to be overmatched early in this game and quite a few turnovers and 3-and-outs. I played Arkansas State’s Team Total Under 12.5 at -113 odds and would go down to 10.5. This is my best bet of the weekend.
Pick: Arkansas State Team Total Under 12.5 (2u)

Washington State vs. Washington (-5): O/U 56.5
This is a neutral field meeting at Lumen Field in Seattle where the Seahawks and I think we’re in for a doozy here. Last year, Washington won 24-21 at home and extended their winning streak to two games in this series.
The Huskies have won 9 of the last 10 meetings with Washington State, so over the past decade, it hasn’t been quite a rivalry. However, we have to adjust our expectations to what Washington is now.
Washington has a new coaching staff, a quarterback who leads a lackluster offense, and a solid defense that hasn’t had any challenges yet. The Huskies struggled with Eastern Michigan and without two quick touchdowns in the final 3:04 of the first half, Washington would have been on upset alert.
I played Washington State +5 at -110 odds and the ML at…
