College football upset picks have been on point to start the season, tallying an impressive 3-0 record in Week 1 and delivering another winning week in Week 2. Then again, we’re kind of cheating using PRO Systems.
Due to a proprietary system we rely on, we can identify potential teams that stand a good chance of pulling off upsets. This week, one of our PRO Systems is active, spotlighting two sides that don’t need the points.
Specifically, we are looking at a college football moneyline betting trend that points us toward two teams historically adept at emerging victorious in toss-up games — a great strategy to apply for those seeking high-value bets.
Let’s transition into this week’s upset picks.
Best Upset Picks: College Football Week 3 Moneyline Predictions
Bettors looking for valuable upset picks for the Saturday college football slate in Week 3 can find multiple key insights in our PRO Report. Today’s all about a backtested trend which consistently finds value.
The PRO System at play is labeled “Small Visiting Dogs.”
According to this system, when the road team is a +0-4 underdog against the spread and the over/under is set at 46 or above, it’s been historically profitable to bet the underdog for an outright victory. The high-scoring predictions add an element of variability to the games, which enhances the case for moneyline picks on these underdogs.

Overall, the system boasts a 51% win rate – excellent considering all the picks at plus-money prices.

UCF goes into their matchup against TCU as slight underdogs at +1.
However, following our PRO System’s criteria, UCF presents a golden opportunity for bettors looking for a moneyline wager. Historically, teams that match this trend are well-positioned to pull off an upset.
Given the high-scoring nature anticipated for this game, the variability further strengthens UCF’s case.

The second team to make our list is Jacksonville State, which will face off against Eastern Michigan.
Jacksonville State is listed as +2 underdogs, making them an enticing pick for those leaning toward a moneyline upset. Again, they fit perfectly within the “Small Visiting Dogs” criteria, and our historical data backs this up.
