Description
It's Week 3 on The Mike Blitz Show, and the ranked matchups are stacked: No. 24 Houston at No. 13 Texas Tech, No. 17 SMU at No. 23 Louisville, and No. 7 LSU at No. 9 Ole Miss headline a full night of college football picks.
Punt or Go For It (5 debates):
- Is the Group of 6 playoff race already down to just North Dakota State and Boise? (Mike goes for it; Darren and Mark punt)
- Texas Tech won't make the Big 12 title game (Mike and Darren go for it; Mark punts)
- One of Pitt, Missouri, Utah, or Iowa wins their conference as a dark horse (Mike goes for it; Darren and Mark punt)
- No quarterback wins the 2026 Heisman (Mike and Darren go for it, both betting on a wide receiver; Mark punts)
- Oregon misses the College Football Playoff entirely (Mike and Mark go for it; Darren punts)
Ten games, picks, and betting angles, including LSU–Ole Miss (Magnolia Bowl) as the marquee homer pick, Texas Tech vs. Houston, Louisville vs. SMU, Florida at Auburn, Clemson vs. North Carolina, Florida State at Alabama, Mississippi State at South Carolina, Arizona State at Kansas, Virginia Tech at Maryland, UVA vs. West Virginia in the Duke's Mayo Classic, Iowa vs. Northern Iowa, and Tennessee vs. Kennesaw State — plus a nine-leg parlay of the week.
