Week 3 college football odds, TV schedule: Road tests for Michigan State, Georgia

Not a lot of marquee games, but some interesting lines

After a weekend full of upsets and surprises left preseason top 10 teams Notre Dame and Texas A&M stunned while No. 1 Alabama snuck by Texas by a single point, the college football season marches into a week without a marquee game.

That doesn’t mean there won’t be any excitement. Of course there will be. The question is where and when — and, of course, which side to bet on.

One interesting game to watch will be a battle of Power Five schools that are unbeaten but also untested when No. 11 Michigan State visits Washington, with the Huskies favored by 2 points. Two more Southeastern Conference games also are on the slate, with new No. 1 Georgia (-24.5) visiting South Carolina and LSU playing host to Mississippi State (-3).

Here’s a complete schedule and list of the available Week 3 point spreads and over/under totals at Caesars Sportsbook:
