College Football Week 3 Predictions: Alabama Favored Against Florida State

The Week 3 college football schedule includes a notable matchup between Alabama and Florida State, taking place at 3:30 p.m. ET at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa.

According to SportsLine's model, Alabama is projected to win 33-20, making Florida State the recommended pick against the spread at +19.5. The model indicates that FSU covers the spread 66% of the time, while the Over/Under of 49.5 is expected to clear 53% of the time based on simulations.

Alabama opened as a 15.5-point favorite, but the line has shifted significantly. Florida State, which has struggled in its first two games, previously covered against SMU. Alabama, after a strong performance against Kentucky, will face a team that defeated them last season in Tallahassee.
