Week 3 of the college football season has the potential to be a bad one for the SEC. Check out our picks against the spread and best bets for the must-watch games of the weekend.

BYU defeated defending Big 12 champion and No. 9 ranked Baylor 26-20 in double overtime last week. The Cougars have a physical defense -- especially along the defensive line -- that does a good job stopping the run. Baylor ran the ball 52 times and tallied just 2.9 yards per carry. The Cougars will slow down the Ducks rushing attack and force quarterback Bo Nix to beat them. Based on his career so far, it's unlikely Nix is going to carry his team to victory against a better ranked opponent.

It's difficult to trust the Ducks based on what we've seen through two games. They've played one quality opponent and got destroyed. BYU has played better on both sides of the ball with an impressive victory against a top 10 team.No. 22 Penn State at AuburnThe Nittany Lions beat Auburn last season, but that was in Happy Valley. This year's game will be played at Jordan-Hare Stadium, where Auburn has won 15 of its last 20 games.

Penn State has the edge at quarterback with Sean Clifford, who completed 87.5 percent of his passes for 280 yards with two touchdowns and one tip-ball interception against Auburn in 2021. He will lead a more well-rounded Nittany Lions squad to their first ever win at Auburn.: Saturday, Sept. 17 at 9 p.m.
