Favorites, Overlays and Nearly All the Public Backed Teams Come Through Early - Week 3

Here are your 2022 College Football Week 3 betting results along with the action, overlays, underlays and line movement analysis for the afternoon and early evening games. 

We had a bunch of favorites covering in the key games prior to this evening matchups.  All but three of those featured overlays in the lines.

The two biggest overlays with our extra games of 9.5 to 10 saw the favorites win.  Two of the extra game dogs that covered were 8-point overlays. 

The Syracuse Orange continue to surprise this season.  They opened as a +1.5 home dog against Purdue and ultimately won by a field goal as a -1.5 favorite.  The Sagarin number nearly fell on zero to give us the 1.5 overlay.

Those gaves that featured the wildest line movements included Ole Miss vs. Georgia Tech, Oklahoma vs. Nebraska and California vs. Notre Dame. 

The Ole Miss-Georgia Tech game line shot up three points while the Oklahoma-Nebraska game line dropped three.  Both were overlays in the 1 to 3 point range and both favorites covered the spread.

The dog (California) covered in their game against Notre Dame. That line dropped from +13.5 to +9.5 and closed back around the +13 mark.  That 13 represented a slight overlay while much of the week the number was an underlay.
