Welcome back to another exciting season of CFB! We continue the Week three action on Saturday night with a big 8-game slate. We are starting to enter conference matchups, which always make for great environments. One of the big conference matchups this week has Tennessee visiting Florida. Both teams will be looking to have a hot start to their SEC campaign.
The purpose of this article is to break down the college football main slates both on the DFS and betting sites. The article includes my favorite plays at every position as well as honorable mentions. You can also find my favorite bets under my Dragos Best Bets section.

Synopsis:
The list above is my player pool for the Week Three Night Slate. The players I listed in the “Core” section are the players that make up the larger parts of my lineups. I would want to have at least one “core” player from each section in every lineup.
The two games that are the main focus for me are the Ole Miss vs. Georgia Tech and TCU vs. Houston matchups. Both of these games have high-powered offenses, and in the TCU game in particular, both defenses rank in the bottom 15 against the pass. I included two options for each passing game in my WR section, as both teams should have multiple pass catchers with three or more receptions. In the other game I mentioned, the defenses aren’t as bad, as both GTech and Ole Miss rank inside the Top 50 so far against the pass. The reason I like both is because both offenses average over 500 yards per game.
Games like Pitt vs. WVU, Syracuse vs. Purdue, and Florida vs. Tennessee also provide a good number of options at RB and WR. I will have plenty of exposure to those three games as well.
Drago’s Best Bets:
- Arizona -18.5 vs UTEP
- Fresno State vs Arizona State Over 48.5
- TCU vs Houston Over 64
