2024-2025 College Football Week 3 Betting Online
Week 3 college football has some tricky games for some of the top teams in the country including the FOX Big Noon game between the Alabama Crimson Tide and Wisconsin Badgers. The Noon kickoff window was always considered a loser for the TV networks. But FOX believed that if you give the public a great early matchup, they would watch with interest. Week 3 is indicative of FOX and its ratings-winning series. The Wisconsin Badgers hosting the Alabama Crimson Tide is a game with mass appeal. Alabama brings cache as one of college football’s most successful program, while Wisconsin is a respected brand from the Big Ten. Camp Randall Stadium will be electric for this Week 3 college football matchup. The Week 3 college football schedule includes games on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and for one of the rare occasions, a pair of ranked teams meet on Friday night. It will be the Arizona Wildcats visiting the Kansas State Wildcats in a game that can be seen on FOX. Let’s look at the Week 3 college football schedule and spotlight a few of the games including Arizona at Kansas State on FOX, Alabama at Wisconsin on FOX and top-ranked Georgia at Kentucky on ABC.

The Crimson Tide are road favorites in this noon Eastern start on Saturday. Alabama and Wisconsin are each 2-0 with Alabama going 1-1 ATS, while the Badgers are 0-2.

The Badgers are led by quarterback Tyler Van Dyke but he has thrown just one TD pass this season. Wisconsin is averaging 27.5 points per game and giving up 13.5 per contest. Worth noting is that linebacker Jake Chaney was ejected for targeting during the third quarter of their win over South Dakota State and he will miss the first half of the Alabama game.

7:30 p.m. | No. 1 Georgia at Kentucky | ABC
The Georgia Bulldogs are 2-0 SU and 1-1 ATS this season, while the Kentucky Wildcats are 1-1 SU and 1-1 ATS. The Bulldogs are big favorites to beat the Wildcats on Saturday. Georgia has been extremely impressive in wins over Clemson and Tennessee Tech. The Bulldogs have been led by quarterback Carson Beck who has thrown for over 500 yards this season with 7 touchdowns. The Bulldogs are averaging 41 points per game this season.
Kentucky won their opener against Southern Miss but it was ugly for the Wildcats last week in a 31-6 loss to South Carolina. Kentucky was hoping that quarterback Brock Vandagriff would be the answer this season after coming over from Georgia, but he didn’t play well last week against South Carolina. He was benched for Rutgers transfer Gavin Wimsatt after going completing just three of his 10 pass attempts for 30 yards with an interception. Wimsatt went 3/7 for 14 yards with an interception so it is unclear who will start at quarterback for Kentucky on Saturday.
Georgia has won each of the past 10 games against Kentucky and they are 6-4 ATS with four of the last five going under the total.
