You know you’re in for an exhilarating Saturday when college football best bets are headlined by none other than Nevada vs. Iowa and Old Dominion vs. Virginia.
Let’s be completely honest: These matchups aren’t the most attractive on the college football Week 3 slate.
However, what they lack in overall aesthetics, they may compensate in a couple betting winners. And that’s all that matters.
One of Action Network’s systems has identified some profitable betting trends pertaining to both Nevada vs. Iowa and Old Dominion vs. Virginia, with two best bets against the spread.
These will be the system’s second and third best bets of the 2022 college football season; the first pick was last Saturday, recommending Middle Tennessee State +12 vs. Colorado State.
Oh, yeah: Middle Tennessee State won outright.

Action Network’s “Scoring Streak Fade” college football PRO system suggests betting against home favorites who are off a game in which they scored single digits. It’s an A-rated system that’s won 60.1% of its picks since 2006.
Here, we’re fading Virginia — which lost 24-3 to Illinois last Saturday — and betting Old Dominion as an 8.5-point underdog.
These two are separated by just 4.5 points in Collin Wilson’s 2022 Power Ratings.
Best Bet: Old Dominion +8.5
Nevada vs. Iowa
7:30 p.m. ET
Here, we’re betting the Nevada Wolf Pack plus the points against an Iowa team struggling offensively.
The Hawkeyes are fresh off a 10-7 loss to arch-rival Iowa State and have relied on the defense or special teams for half their points thus far.
It’s a large number for the home team to be laying. We’re seeing Nevada +23 on our college football odds board, but those with the flexibility to shop can find a +23.5 out there at various sportsbooks.
Best Bet: Nevada +23.5
