2025-2026 College Football Friday Night Betting Online
The Friday Night College Football schedule for Week 3 takes place on Friday, September 12, 2025. The schedule features a modest but intriguing slate of games showcasing a mix of conferences and competitive matchups. The NCAA football schedule kicks off with Indiana State visiting Indiana at 6:30 p.m. ET with the game airing on the Big Ten Network. Both teams enter with undefeated 2-0 records, making this a critical early test in the season. Indiana will look to leverage the home crowd and strong season start, while Indiana State aims to pull off an upset on the road.
Colgate travels to Syracuse for a 7 p.m. ET kickoff on the ACC Network. Syracuse will be looking to build momentum after a couple of early wins, while Colgate hopes to stay competitive. The feature matchup on ESPN, has Houston hosting Colorado, providing fans with exciting action from the Big 12. The other feature game on Friday has Kansas State at Arizona, airing at 9 p.m. ET on FOX. The late game has New Mexico at UCLA at 10 p.m. ET on the Big Ten Network.
Each year, the college football schedule for Friday night action reveals that major colleges are seeking any means and path to generate revenue, while schools with lower profiles are looking for additional exposure. Naturally, lesser-known teams from the Group of Five conferences are eager to take the field on Friday nights when the bigger brands are off. This strategy allows them the full attention of fans, gamblers, and, most importantly, prospective recruits. Teams that would normally be ignored on a full Saturday find that the entire nation is focused on their Friday night matchups.

2025-2026 Friday Night College Football Schedule
Week 3 - Friday, September 12, 2025
Indiana State Sycamores at Indiana Hoosiers, 6:30 pm, BTN
Colgate Raiders at Syracuse Orange, 7 pm, ACCN
Colorado Buffaloes at Houston Cougars, 7:30 pm, ESPN
The Colorado Buffaloes head to Houston to face the Cougars at TDECU Stadium in a pivotal Big 12 matchup with the Cougars listed as a 5.5-point home favorite in NCAA football odds. Colorado enters the game with a 1-1 record, coming off a strong 31-7 win over Delaware where the offense showed signs of life behind quarterback Kaidon Salter and Ryan Staub. It was Staub who impressed, showcasing poise and efficiency. On the ground, running backs Simeon Price and Micah Welch have been vital to Colorado’s resurgence, with Price rushing for 85 yards against Delaware. Colorado's defensive line will need to tighten pass coverage after yielding some big plays in their last outing.
Houston, undefeated at 2-0, enters the game full of confidence as they aim to continue their solid start in their first full Big 12 season. Quarterback Conner Weigman has been effective, completing 30 of 46 passes for 347 yards and four touchdowns early in the season. The Cougars rely heavily on their rushing attack, spearheaded by Dean Connors who amassed 182 yards and two touchdowns in recent action. Houston’s defense boasts a fierce pass rush with five sacks so far and a physical front seven designed to disrupt opposing quarterbacks. The battle between Colorado’s offensive line and Houston’s defensive pressure will likely be a key storyline, as the Buffaloes look to protect their quarterbacks and sustain drives. Expect a competitive, physical game with implications for early Big 12 positioning.
Kansas State Wildcats at Arizona Wildcats, 9 PM, FOX
Arizona, led by third-year starter quarterback Noah Fifita, looks to leverage a high-octane offense as they welcome Kansas State to Arizona Stadium. Arizona is listed as a 1-point home favorite in this contest. Fifita, a redshirt junior with nearly 6,000 career passing yards and 44 touchdowns, has been efficient and dynamic, throwing five touchdowns in Arizona’s recent dominant win over Weber State. Supporting him is running back Quincy Craig, who adds balance to the offense with his power running and ability to secure crucial yards. On defense, linebacker Jeremiah Patterson and safety Chris Hunter provide leadership in a unit aiming to apply pressure and force turnovers.
Kansas State counters with senior dual-threat quarterback Avery Johnson Jr. and a physical, disciplined team. Key offensive weapons for the Wildcats include running back Dylan Edwards and wide receiver Jerand Bradley, both capable of explosive plays.
Defensively, Kansas State’s linebacker corps, featuring Desmond Purnell and Ashton Moore, looks to disrupt Arizona’s passing game and control the line of scrimmage. The Wildcats seek to impose their tempo and minimize mistakes in a key Big 12 conference test.
This game will be heavily influenced by how well Arizona can sustain offensive drives against a tough Kansas State defense and whether the Wildcats can protect Johnson from pressure. With playoff implications and conference positioning on the line, expect a competitive, tactical battle highlighted by controlling field position and capitalizing on turnovers. Kickoff is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET on ESPN.
