This Post Contains the Week 3 Games
GAMES FOR WEEK 3
Note: There were really slim pickings in this week’s games. Many big FBS schools were playing FCS schools or the games were just too lopsided to be of any interest. So the followings games were chosen because they were very competitive games or had some other interesting hook.

Georgia Southern +19.5 at Wisconsin -19.5 9am on BTN (Clay Helton Who?)
Washington -16.5 at Michigan St +16.5 at 2pm on Peacock Network (How many points is Mel Tucker worth?)
Tennessee -7.5 at Florida +7.5 at 4pm on ESPN (Jack Daniels vs Southern Comfort)
Pittsburgh -1.5 at West Virginia +1.5 at 430pm on ABC (Rivalry Game, always a good game)
BYU +9.5 at Arkansas -9.5 at 430pm on ESPN2 (Kedon Slovis Who?)
Colorado St +22.5 at Colorado -22.5 at 7pm on ESPN (In-State Rivalry)
Fresno St -3.5 at Arizona St +3.5 at 730pm on Fox Sports 1

All Week 3 wagers, for Saturday games must be received by September 15, 2023 at 5pm PT.
Please make your choices known by using the following sample format:
USC -9.5 for 1000
Stanford/USC Over 65.5 for 500
The contest closed to new contestants on Friday September 1, 2023 at noon P.T.
This Post will be updated throughout the week.
Contest Rules
Please remember, this is supposed to be about fun and Trojan camaraderie.
There are no entry fees.
Every participant will receive 20,000 betting units.
You must bet a minimum of 1 game and 1,000 units each week. The exception to this rule is Week 0 (games played on August 26th) where you do not need to make a wager.
There will be a limited number of games to choose from each week.
The contest ends on December 4, 2023.
I will post the point spread for each week’s games on Monday
All wagers must be received by Friday at noon PT. (Exact date will posted weekly)
Wagers must be posted on the TDB (preferred) or they can be emailed to: john@trojandailyblog.com.
I will review each wager to make sure that it was correctly placed. I will then respond to your entries to let you know that they have been accepted by liking your wager comment.
If you do not see your wager acknowledgement please contact me as soon as possible by posting a comment on the blog prior to the first game you have wagered on.
If a game is cancelled or moved to another date, then that game will not be counted as a wager (no action).
Winning wagers will be paid as ‘even money’, for example; if you bet 1,000 units, you will win 1,000 units.
The winner will be determined by who has the most betting units in their account at the end of the contest.
I will keep track of everyone’s account and this accounting will be posted on TDB on Monday of each week of the contest. Please review my figures. If you think that a mistake has been made you must contact me by 9pm on the Monday that the results were posted, otherwise these numbers will be considered official.
First Prize is: 150.00
Second Prize is: 75.00
Third Prize is: 25.00
If two people end up in first place, then the first and second prize will be added together and that amount will be split between the two winners.
I will handle all disputes and my decision will be final.
Anyone can be removed from the contest for exhibiting poor sportsmanship, as determined by me.
By making wagers on the games you acknowledge you agree to these rules.

This week, the underdogs all did well against the spread, some even won the game outright. You can never tell how well a team is going to play in a rivalry game. The college athlete plays with so much emotion and it can vary from week-to-week and this just makes the college game so much more exciting.
