(12) Arkansas 31, Georgia 24 Look out for Ryan Mallett in the Heisman Trophy race. The big Arkansas pivot threw for 380 yards against Georgia and connected on a 40-yard touchdown pass with Greg Childs with just 15 seconds left on the clock. Arkansas’ big road win came with the Razorbacks listed as +3 underdogs. If you picked them, you would’ve been sweating bullets on the final drive. Not only did the late TD cover the spread for Arkansas, it brought the point total to 55 points. Sportsbook had the over/under at 54. Georgia looks to bounce back at Mississippi State next, while Arkansas has another vicious test on the schedule at home to No. 1 Alabama.
Florida State 34, BYU 10 Christian Ponder was a nightmare against Oklahoma in Week 2, going just 11 for 28 with two interceptions, but he was sharper against Brigham Young. Ponder threw a touchdown pass and ran for a score as well. If you had faith in FSU in your bets, you made some money over the weekend. The Seminoles easily covered the 10-point spread and hit on the -380 moneyline. Since they shut down BYU’s offense, they kept the total under the predicted 60 points.
