Here at Cappers Info, we are taking a weekly look at the teams that could be ones ripe to pull off some major upsets! Check out the potentially ugly dogs that could come up and bite you in the butt in you aren’t careful for the Week 3 of college football betting action!

Year To Date Record: 2-7 (-$245)

College Football Upset Pick #1: Utah Utes (+152 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. BYU Cougars, Saturday, 10:00 ET: The Holy War is always a battle, and this year should be no exception. RB John White IV has had a great career against his arch rivals, and we just aren’t so sure that the Cougs are going to be able to stop him even though QB Jordan Wynn’s days of quarterbacking the Utes is said and done with. BYU knows that this is an important game, but it might be caught looking ahead to its trip to the Smurf Turf next week to battle with Boise State. If that’s the case, that would be bad, bad news for the boys from Provo, and we think off of the bad game last week against Utah State, Utah is going to look to come back home and beat up its other rival. This game just reeks of an upset.

College Football Upset Pick #2: North Carolina Tar Heels (+145 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Louisville Cardinals, Saturday, 3:30 ET: Here’s what we have to say about this one: Louisville is a good team from the Big East. North Carolina is a decent team from the ACC. When you consider those two things, the choice really is easy. The Big East is just miles and miles away from the rest of the major college conferences at this point, and it is going to show on Saturday. North Carolina has the talent of a Top 25 team, and though we know that the Cardinals are legitimately a Top 25 squad right now, that doesn’t mean that that should stay that way. They aren’t going to have the more talented team on the field at Papa John’s Stadium, and we think that the oddsmakers know it.

College Football Upset Pick #3: Virginia Cavaliers (+325 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Saturday, 3:30 ET: This is just way, way too many points for the Yellow Jackets to be laying in this game. Last year, it wasn’t a fluke that the Cavaliers were just a game away from going to the ACC Championship Game. This team won on the road at Florida State, and it was able to contain the Ramblin’ Wreck, holding it to just 21 points in a mid-October clash. UVA is taking a bad rap due to the fact that it barely beat (and shouldn’t have beaten) Penn State last week, but it just isn’t justified to us. The Cavvies are the better of these two teams as we see it.

Here at Cappers Info, we are taking a weekly look at the teams that could be Twos ripe to pull off some major upsets! Check out the potentially ugly dogs that could come up and bite you in the butt in you aren’t careful for the Week 3 of NFL betting action!

Year To Date Record: 6-7 ATS

Upset Record: 2-5 -$250

Underdog Pick #1: Chicago Bears (+170 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. Green Bay Packers, Sunday, 4:15 ET: The Packers are well on their way to another fantastic season for sure, but we’re not ready to write off the Bears quite yet. These two divisional foes remember what happened last time they met in the Windy City; Green Bay stole the NFC Championship from the hearts of the fans at Soldier Field. However, this time around, we’d like to think that QB Jay Cutler is going to be able to stay on the field. The Bears’ running game seems to be more confident than it was last year at this time with RB Matt Forte doing a tad bit of everything as well. On top of that, we’re just not all that sure that the Packers are suited for the road. After all, they were nearly taken down by the Carolina Panthers last week, of all teams. We’re willing to say that this is nearly a 50/50 proposition that we’re backing the side at +170.

Underdog Pick #2: Houston Texans (+175 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ New Orleans Saints, Sunday 1:00 ET: This is going to be the second straight week that we are going against the Saints at the Superdome, and we prefer this spot to even the one that we had last week with the Bears. Houston really needs to prove that it is legit. The only problem that it has had this year defensively has been handling a rushing game straight up the gut. That’s about the only thing that the Saints don’t have the ability to do offensively. That being said, we’re not afraid of Houston getting into a shootout with New Orleans, knowing that this is just the right spot for QB Matt Schaub, WR Andre Johnson, and company to prove that they are for real this season.

Underdog Pick #3: Denver Broncos (+270 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Tennessee Titans, Sunday, 1:00 ET: A nice price here on the Broncos. Tennessee has a lot of hype around it right now after it took down the Baltimore Ravens last week. However, we’re just not all that sure that it is justified for this team to be a TD favorite over anyone. We know that the Broncos have played a dreadful schedule thus far, but we don’t think that playing the Titans is all that much more difficult than going against the Oakland Raiders or Cincinnati Bengals. The difference is that this one is on the road. Still, we can’t justify in our heads that Denver should be more than a 2 to 1 underdog, and we plan on fully capitalizing come Sunday.
