Thankfully we don't have to wait until Saturday for some decent college football action in Week 3.
At 6 p.m. ET, undefeated North Carolina (with both wins coming as an underdog) travels to Winston-Salem for a cross-state matchup with undefeated Wake Forest. The Heels are once against listed as underdogs, but are finally getting some love from bettors, collecting 54% of bets.
In the nightcap, No. 20 Washington State visits Houston in a game that should display some offensive firepower. The two teams have combined for 185 points through the first two weeks, a cumulative average of 46.25 points per game.
And somewhere in between, BC hosts Kansas.

This over/under opened at 75, the highest number on the Week 3 slate. That's no longer the case thanks to some professional under action.
Sixty-eight percent of the tickets on this total have landed on the over, which is often the case in these expected high-scoring games (and most other games, really). No one wants to root for punts and turnovers; we'd all rather see big offensive plays. So when a total drops despite a heavy over backing, you can assume there's a good chance that sharps probably have something to do with it.
Our Sports Insights Bet Signals have triggered six steam and reverse line moves on the under — at numbers from 76 to the current 73.5 — with no conflicting signs the other way.
The most recent move brought the market to a consensus of 73, but with 66% of dollars also hitting the over, the monetary liability has inched the total back up by a half point. Time will tell whether sharps feel like hammering the under 73.5 once more.
Sharp angle: Under (moved from 76 to 73.5)
