The public's favorite college football picks were all over the place last Saturday, ranging from headliners like Alabama vs. Texas to others such as FIU vs. Texas State.
The most popular college football picks against the spread for Week 3 are just as random.
Memphis vs. Arkansas State and Rutgers vs. Temple lead the obscure showdowns — and that's not all, as the card's loaded with lopsided splits.
Overall, the public's piling up on these five betting spreads in Week 3.
