BetMGM's total has seen much more movement, sliding from 62.5 to 59.5 by this morning, then dipping another 2 points today to 57.5. Ticket count is close, while 60% of money is on the Under. It might be rainy and could be windy Saturday night in Seattle.

UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: Washington (3-0 SU/2-1 ATS) is emerging as a contender in the College Football Playoff odds market. The Huskies went to Michigan State as 15.5-point favorites and pounded Sparty 41-7.

California (2-1 SU and ATS) topped FCS foe Idaho 31-17, but didn't cover as a 15.5-point home chalk.

Washington touched -21.5 twice already at Caesars and is now -21.

No. 5 USC vs Arizona State Odds

• Opening point spread: USC -30.5
• Opening moneyline: Southern Cal -80000/Arizona State +2750

• Time: 10:30 p.m. ET (FOX)

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET FRIDAY: USC opened -34.5 at BetMGM, spent a few hours Tuesday at -33.5, then climbed to -34.5 (-115). The huge number isn't scaring off early bettors, with ticket count 3/1 and money 9/1 on the Trojans.

The total moved from 61.5 to 62.5 today. Current splits aren't available.

UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: Southern Cal (3-0 SU/2-1 ATS) has piled up 178 points through three games, and didn't even face an FCS team to do so. The Trojans, who had a Week 3 bye, stomped Stanford 55-10 as 28.5-point home favorites in Week 2.

Arizona State (1-2 SU/0-3 ATS) appears to be dreadful thus far. In Week 3, the Sun Devils were 4-point home underdogs to Fresno State and got blanked 29-0.

After opening -30.5 Sunday afternoon, USC shot out to -34 by this morning at Caesars. The Trojans are now -33.5.

No. 17 North Carolina vs Pittsburgh Odds

• Opening point spread: North Carolina -6
• Opening moneyline: North Carolina -240/Pittsburgh +196
• Opening total: Over/Under 50 points scored
• Time: 8 p.m. ET Saturday (ACC Network)

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET FRIDAY: BetMGM nudged North Carolina from -7 to -7.5 this week, though it's two-way spread play. Ticket count and money almost dead even, with the slightest edge to home 'dog Pittsburgh.

The total opened and is currently 50.5, juiced to Under -115. The Over is landing 58% of bets, but 88% of money is on the Under.

UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: North Carolina (3-0 SU/2-1 ATS) went unscathed through nonconference play. The Tar Heels were 7-point home favorites vs. Minnesota in Week 3 and posted a 31-13 victory.

Pittsburgh (1-2 SU/0-2-1 ATS) is coming off a Backyard Brawl loss to West Virginia. The Panthers fell 17-6 as 2.5-point road 'dogs.

North Carolina stretched to -8 this morning at Caesars Sports, then went to -7.5. Correspondingly, the moneyline is already out to Tar Heels -305/Panthers +240.

No. 6 Ohio State vs No. 9 Notre Dame Odds

• Opening point spread: Ohio State -3
• Opening moneyline: Ohio State -141/Notre Dame +117
• Opening total: Over/Under 54 points scored
• Time: 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday (NBC)

UPDATE 5:15 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Ohio State is -3 (-115) at BetMGM, having spent the week toggling between various iterations of -3 and -3.5. Action is running so even, on the spread and moneyline, that BetMGM doesn't have much of a decision.

"Ohio State-Notre Dame is as amazingly two-way as you can get. Almost identical action on each team," BetMGM senior trader Cameron Drucker said. "I'm not sure I've seen a game this big have such close two-way action like this. Any result looks like a small win, currently."

UPDATE 12:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: The Buckeyes spent most of the week at various iterations of -3, which is where Fanatics Sportsbook opened this clash. Ohio State topped out at -3.5 (-115) Monday, but returned to -3 Tuesday.

The Buckeyes are netting 61% of spread bets/67% of spread dollars. And at Fanatics, this matchup is taking the most money of any matchup on the college football odds Week 4 slate.

The total climbed from 54 to 55.5 by Tuesday and hasn't moved since. Tickets and money are almost 2/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: Ohio State (3-0 SU/2-1 ATS) is about to get its first legit challenge of the season. In Week 3, the Buckeyes boatraced Western Kentucky 63-10 giving 29.5 points at home.

Notre Dame already has four games under its belt, playing in Week 0, and is 4-0 SU/3-1 ATS. The Fighting Irish topped Central Michigan 41-17 as 34.5-point home faves, failing to cash for the first time this season.

Last season in Week 1, Ohio State beat Notre Dame 21-10, while the Irish covered as 17-point road 'dogs.

Multiple sportsbooks posted this game preseason with Ohio State a touchdown favorite. When TwinSpires opened it Sunday, Ohio State was -3 and has since inched to -3.5.

Notre Dame is netting 66% of spread bets, while 57% of spread money is on Ohio State.

"It's early, but it's shaping up to be a Pros vs. Joes game. Pros on Ohio State -3," Lucas said.

The total is down a tick to 53.5, with 65% of tickets on the Over/52% of money on the Under.

No. 3 Texas vs Baylor Odds

• Opening point spread: Texas -14.5
• Opening moneyline: Texas -740/Baylor +470
• Opening total: Over/Under 51.5 points scored
• Time: 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday (ABC)

UPDATE 1:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: BetMGM opened and is currently at Texas -14.5. It's two-way play with a lean toward the Longhorns, at 55% of early tickets/58% of early money.

After opening 51.5, the total reached its low point of 48.5 today. Ticket count is almost dead even, but 87% of cash is on the Under.

UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: Texas got a scare similar to what Georgia and Alabama faced in Week 3. The Longhorns closed as 30.5-point home favorites against Wyoming, yet were in a 10-10 tie through three quarters.

But Texas (3-0 SU/1-2 ATS) scored the final 21 points in a 31-10 victory.

Baylor (1-2 SU/0-2-1 ATS) got its first win, but it was hardly impressive. The Bears beat FCS foe Long Island University 30-7, failing to cover as massive 45-point faves.

Texas is up a notch to -15 in TwinSpires' college football odds Week 4 market. It's two-way action early, with 52% of spread tickets/59% of spread money on the Longhorns.

"Sharp play on Texas -14.5," Lucas said.

The total hasn't moved off 51.5, with tickets and money 2/1 on the Over.

No. 24 Iowa vs No. 7 Penn State Odds

• Opening point spread: Penn State -14
• Opening moneyline: Penn State -720/Iowa +450
• Opening total: Over/Under 41.5 points scored
• Time: 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday (CBS)

UPDATE 5:15 P.M. ET SATURDAY: This line went back and forth from Penn State -14 to -14.5 a couple times this week at BetMGM. The Nittany Lions are currently -14.

This game is seeing strong two-way play for BetMGM in digital betting – online/mobile action. Iowa is getting 54% of spread tickets, while 51% of spread money is on Penn State.

UPDATE 12:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Fanatics Sportsbook opened Penn State -14, peaked at -15 Wednesday and is now -14.5. It's two-way spread play with a lean toward Iowa, at 56% of tickets and money.

The total is down to 39.5 from a 41.5 opener and 42 high points. Ticket count is 2/1-plus on the Over, but money is just shy of 2/1 on the Under.

UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: Penn State is out of the gate 3-0 SU and ATS. In Week 3, the Nittany Lions had little trouble in a 30-13 win laying 14.5 points at Illinois.

Iowa (3-0 SU/2-1 ATS) notched a 41-10 victory as 28.5-point home chalk vs. Western Michigan.

TwinSpires nudged Penn State from -14 to -14.5 in the college football odds Week 4 market. Iowa is actually getting 64% of early bets, while 61% of early money is on Penn State.

"Another Pros vs. Joes battle. Pros on Penn State -14," Lucas said.

The total hasn't moved off 41.5, with 59% of bets on the Over/56% of money on the Under.

UAB vs No. 1 Georgia Odds

• Opening point spread: Georgia -39
• Opening moneyline: Georgia TBA/UAB TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 53 points scored
• Time: 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday (ESPN2)

UPDATE 1:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: After opening -41.5 flat, Georgia spent time at -42 and is now 41.5 (-115) at BetMGM. Ticket count is 2/1 on big 'dog Alabama-Birmingham, but money is 6/1 on Georgia.

The total is up a point to 54.5 at BetMGM, where ticket count is 5/1-plus and money almost 9/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: Two-time defending national champion Georgia got a huge scare in Week 3 vs. South Carolina. The Bulldogs (3-0 SU/1-2 ATS), 26.5-point home favorites, trailed 14-3 at halftime.

But Kirby Smart's troops did all the second-half scoring to escape with a 24-14 victory.

Alabama-Birmingham (1-2 SU and ATS) was a 2.5-point Week 3 home fave vs Louisiana-Lafayette and got drilled outright 41-21.

Georgia already got as high as -42.5 this morning and is now -41.5 at Caesars. The total stretched to 54.5 before receding to 53.5.

No. 14 Oregon State vs No. 21 Washington State Odds

• Opening point spread: Oregon State -3
• Opening moneyline: Oregon State -135/Washington State +115
• Opening total: Over/Under 56 points scored
• Time: 7 p.m. ET Saturday (FOX)

UPDATE 5:15 P.M. ET SATURDAY: With kickoff less than two hours out, Oregon State is a 3-point road chalk at BetMGM. The line spent the week toggling between Ducks -2.5 and -3, with wiseguy Washington State play at +3.

"Washington State getting more of the money here. And we saw some sharp bets on the Cougars, as well, early in the week," BetMGM senior trader Cameron Drucker.

That said, money isn't that much in favor of the home 'dog. Washington State is getting 54% of spread tickets/57% of spread money at BetMGM. Bettors are on Cougars moneyline tonight, as well.

UPDATE 1:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: BetMGM toggled from Oregon State -2.5 to -3 a couple times this week and is currently at -3. It's nearly perfect two-way play on the spread, with 53% of tickets on Washington State and money running dead even.

The total went from 56.5 to 57.5 Wednesday, then to 58.5 Thursday. It's currently 58.5 (Over -115), with tickets 4/1 and money 9/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: It's another matchup of ranked Pac-12 teams, with the conference having a stout year so far.

Oregon State (3-0 SU/2-1 ATS) beat San Diego State 26-9, but didn't cash as 24.5-point Week 3 home chalk. Washington State (3-0 SU/2-1 ATS) thumped FCS foe Northern Colorado 64-21, but couldn't cover the massive 46.5-point number.

Moments after opening Oregon State-Washington, Caesars moved the Beavers from -3 to -2.5.

Arkansas vs No. 12 LSU Odds

• Opening point spread: LSU -16
• Opening moneyline: LSU -1000/Arkansas +650
• Opening total: Over/Under 55.5 points scored
• Time: 7 p.m. ET Saturday (ESPN)

UPDATE 1:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: LSU is painted to -17.5 at BetMGM, staying at that number all week. Arkansas is drawing 54% of early spread tickets/53% of early spread money.

The total is also stable at BetMGM, sitting at 55.5 all week and at 55.5 (Under -115) since Wednesday. That said, tickets and money are 4/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: In Week 3, LSU looked much more like oddsmakers expected this season. The Tigers (2-1 SU and ATS) bashed Mississippi State 41-14 laying 9.5 points on the road.

In contrast, Arkansas (2-1 SU/1-2 ATS) was an 8.5-point home favorite against BYU and lost outright 38-31.

LSU is already up 2 points to -18 in Caesars Sports' college football odds Week 4 market.

Charlotte vs No. 25 Florida Odds

• Opening point spread: Florida -26
• Opening moneyline: Florida -4500/Charlotte +1550
• Opening total: Over/Under 51 points scored
• Time: 7 p.m. ET Saturday (ESPN+/SECN+)

UPDATE 1:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: BetMGM is pinned to Florida -28 in this matchup, with no movement all week. The Gators are landing 54% of spread bets/75% of spread dollars.

BetMGM's total opened at 51.5, dropped to 50.5 and 49.5 Monday, then to 48.5 Thursday. The Over is getting 65% of bets, while 59% of cash is on the Under.

UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: Florida (2-1 SU/1-2 ATS) notched a Week 3 upset to climb into the Top 25. The Gators closed as 5.5-point home underdogs to Tennessee and claimed a 29-16 victory.

Charlotte (1-2 SU and ATS) lost to Georgia Southern 41-25 as a 4.5-point home 'dog in Week 3.

On Sunday afternoon, shortly after opening this game, Caesars bumped Florida from -26 to -28. The total is down a point to 50.

No. 19 Colorado vs No. 10 Oregon Odds

• Opening point spread: Oregon -20
• Opening moneyline: Oregon -1667/Colorado +700
• Opening total: Over/Under 72.5 points scored
• Time: 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday (ABC)

UPDATE 1:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Two hours before kickoff, Oregon is laying 21 points at TwinSpires Sportsbook. The lookahead line last week was Oregon -14, and the game reopened Sunday at -20.

Spread tickets are 5/1-plus and spread money 8/1 on Colorado. And it's even more lopsided on the moneyline, with tickets 8/1 and money 10/1 on Colorado, currently +700.

"It's all Colorado. And Colorado moneyline is a monster liability. Oregon is our biggest need of the weekend," TwinSpires director of retail sports Zachary Lucas said.

The total is down to 70.5 from a 72.5 opener. The Over is getting 67% of tickets, while 59% of money is on the Under.

"Sharp play on Under 72.5," Lucas said.

UPDATE NOON ET FRIDAY: Oregon is a 21-point favorite at Fanatics against Colorado, the trendiest team in the nation by far. Bettors are all over the Buffs, with spread tickets and money in the 9/1 range on Colorado.

The Buffaloes are +615 on the moneyline, and bettors are piling on there, as well. Moneyline tickets are 4/1 and moneyline cash almost 8/1 on Colorado. At Fanatics, Colorado-Oregon has taken the most bets of any of Saturday's college football games.

The total opened at 72.5 and by Thursday was down to 70, where it remains today. Early ticket count is almost even, but 73% of early money is on the Under.

UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: Colorado is quite fortunate to be sitting 3-0 SU at this juncture. The Buffaloes (2-1 ATS), 23.5-point home favorites against Colorado State, were down 28-17 in the fourth quarter. Colorado needed a final-minute TD/2-point conversion to force overtime, tied at 28.

Coach Prime's troops went on to a 43-35 double-OT win, while thrilling bookmakers by falling miles short of covering.

Oregon is certainly part of what's shaping up to be a loaded Pac-12 this season. The Ducks (3-0 SU and ATS) did as expected in Week 3, punching out Hawaii 55-10 as 38.5-point home favorites.

Lucas said Oregon was -14 on the lookahead line in TwinSpires' college football Week 4 odds market. The Ducks reopened -20 Sunday and are now -20.5. That said, early ticket count is 3/1 and early cash 2.5/1 Buffs.

"It's all Colorado. We're moving with the market and fine with people taking Colorado at +20.5," Lucas said. "Colorado moneyline is currently +700, and that will likely be our biggest liability on Saturday."

The total receded from 72.5 to 71 at TwinSpires, with 66% of tickets on the Over/55% of cash on the Under.

"Sharp play on Under 72.5," Lucas said.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Oddsmakers were thoroughly unimpressed with Colorado needing double overtime to beat Colorado State. As such, BetMGM opened Oregon a healthy 17.5-point favorite this morning.

And that wasn't enough. The Ducks are already up to -19.5 in the college football odds Week 4 market.

Colorado (3-0 SU, 2-1 ATS) was a 23.5-point favorite against its instate rival and had to scramble late in the fourth quarter to forge a 28-28 tie and overtime. The Buffs put up TDs in each extra period and got the 2-point conversion in the second OT, then clinched the 43-35 victory with an interception in the end zone.

Meanwhile, Oregon (3-0 SU and ATS) had zero issues with Hawaii. The Ducks steamrolled to a 55-10 victory laying 38.5 points at home.

With Colorado failing to cover, sportsbooks recouped a ton of money that bettors hauled in on the Buffs in Weeks 1 and 2.

"One of the biggest results we'll see all season. You'd have to think it [killed] a thousand parlays," BetMGM trader Seamus Magee said.

But that noted, Magee fully expects bettors to stay on the Buffs bandwagon.

"I imagine we'll see Colorado bettors back next week against Oregon, getting double digits on the road," he said.

No. 15 Mississippi vs No. 13 Alabama Odds

• Opening point spread: Alabama -7
• Opening moneyline: Alabama -265/Ole Miss +205
• Opening total: Over/Under 55 points scored
• Time: 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday (CBS)

UPDATE 1:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Alabama has been steady at -7 all week at TwinSpires. That said, spread tickets and money are in the 2/1 range on underdog Mississippi.

"Ole Miss getting 7 vs. struggling Alabama is too to pass up. A very trendy 'dog this week," Lucas said.

The total went from 55 to 56 on two-way play, with 59% of tickets on the Under/56% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 1 P.M. ET FRIDAY: BetMGM has toggled between 'Bama -7 and -6.5 a couple times this week and is currently at -6.5. Early spread tickets and money are almost 2/1 on underdog Ole Miss.

Early bettors like the Rebels even more on the moneyline at BetMGM, with tickets and money beyond 9/1 on the road underdog. Ole Miss is currently +210, while Alabama is -275.

The total went from 55.5 to 56.5 Monday, then peeled back to 54.5 by Wednesday. This morning, BetMGM returned to the 55.5 opener. Ticket count is 2/1 on the Over, but money is running almost dead even.

UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: Alabama (2-1 SU, 1-2 ATS) seemed to have a Week 3 hangover after its Week 2 home loss to Texas. The Crimson Tide went to South Florida as 34.5-point favorites and found themselves tied 3-3 at halftime.

'Bama went on to an extremely lackluster 17-3 victory and has questions at the quarterback spot. But coach Nick Saban said today Jalen Milroe will start this week.

Meanwhile, Ole Miss is off to a 3-0 SU and ATS start. In Week 3, the Rebels wrecked Georgia Tech 48-23 giving 17 points at home.

TwinSpires hasn't moved off Alabama -7 on its college football Week 3 odds board. But ticket count is 2/1-plus and money almost 2/1 on Mississippi.

"Ole Miss getting 7 vs. struggling Alabama is too good to pass up. Mississippi is a very trendy 'dog this week," Lucas said.

The total is stable at 55, with 55% of tickets/58% of money on the Under early on.

No. 22 UCLA vs No. 11 Utah Odds

• Opening point spread: Utah -6
• Opening moneyline: Utah -210/UCLA +175
• Opening total: Over/Under 51.5 points scored
• Time: 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday (FOX)

UPDATE 1:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Utah QB Cameron Rising is not expected to start today against UCLA Rising suffered a torn ACL in the Rose Bowl last season and still hasn't played this season.

Expectations of Rising sitting out helped take this line to from Utah -5 to -3.5 by Friday. TwinSpires Sportsbook is now at Utes -3. Ticket count is almost dead even, while money is 2/1 on the Bruins.

"Sharp play on UCLA +5," Lucas said.

The total opened at 51.5, peaked at 52 and is now 51. The Over is drawing 60% of tickets/58% of money.

UPDATE 12:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: This line has bounced around a fair amount this week at Fanatics, after opening at Utah -5. On Monday, the Utes dipped to -4.5, then on Thursday climbed to -5/-5.5/-6. Moments ago, Utah backed up to -5.5.

Ticket count is 2/1 and money 4/1 on the home favorite Utes.

Fanatics' total initially nudged down from 51.5 to 51 Monday, but it's been at 52.5 since Wednesday. Betting splits are rather interesting: 73% of tickets on the Over/91% of money on the Under.

UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: UCLA is among eight Pac-12 teams in the latest Top 25 rankings, in a banner season so far for the otherwise crashing conference. In Week 3, the Bruins (3-0 SU/2-1 ATS) pounded FCS foe North Carolina Central 59-7 giving 35.5 points at home.

Utah is yet another ranked Pac-12 outfit. The Utes (3-0 SU/1-1-1 ATS) topped Weber State 31-7 in Week 3, but didn't cover the 26.5-point spread.

Bettors appear to be hitting the Bruins early in Caesars Sports' college football Week 4 odds market. The Utes are already down 1.5 points to -4.5.

No. 18 Duke vs UConn Odds

• Opening point spread: Duke -22.5
• Opening moneyline: Duke -2000/UConn +1050
• Opening total: Over/Under 48 points scored
• Time: 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday (CBSSN)

UPDATE 1 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Duke has been painted to -21.5 this week at BetMGM, with the only adjustment coming on the juice, which inched to -115 this morning. Home 'dog UConn is getting 56% of spread tickets, while spread money is running almost dead even.

Early moneyline bettors are taking a flier on the +1000 Huskies at BetMGM. Moneyline tickets and cash are 3/1 on UConn.

BetMGM's total opened 46.5 Sunday night, went to 47.5 within a few hours, then steadily fell throughout the week to the current 44.5. The Over is seeing 53% of bets, but 77% of money is on the Under. Rain, potentially heavy, is in the Saturday forecast, along with winds of 10-20 mph.

UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: Duke (3-0 SU, 2-1 ATS) dispatched Northwestern 38-14 laying 17 points at home in Week 3. Connecticut (0-3 SU, 1-2 ATS) was a 7-point home home favorite against Florida International and lost outright 24-17.

Duke dropped to -21 by this morning at Caesars Sports. The total initially rose to 49, then returned to 48.

No. 20 Miami vs Temple Odds

• Opening point spread: Miami -24.5
• Opening moneyline: Miami -3500/Temple +1350
• Opening total: Over/Under 52.5 points scored
• Time: 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday (ESPN2)

UPDATE 1:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: BetMGM pegged Miami a 25.5-point chalk at Sunday's outset, but the number made its way down to -23.5 by Wednesday. There's been no movement since, with 53% of tickets on the Hurricanes/63% of money on the Owls.

The total plummeted from 52.5 to 46.5 by Thursday afternoon. Much like the Duke-UConn game, rain – potentially heavy – is in the forecast, along with winds of 20-30 mph. Ticket count is 2/1 and money 8/1 on the Under.

UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: Miami (3-0 SU, 2-1 ATS) faced FCS foe Bethune-Cookman in Week 3, and it went as you might expect. The Hurricanes cruised to a 48-3 home victory, but failed to cover a massive 54.5-point spread.

Temple (2-1 SU/1-2 ATS) also had an FCS opponent in Week 3. The Owls beat Norfolk State 41-9, narrowly covering as 31.5-point faves.

Miami quickly went to -25.5 Sunday afternoon at Caesars, but the line is now down to Hurricanes -24. The total backed up a tick to 52.

UTSA vs No. 23 Tennessee Odds

• Opening point spread: Tennessee -18.5
• Opening moneyline: Tennessee -1400/UTSA +800
• Opening total: Over/Under 56.5 points scored
• Time: 4 p.m. ET Saturday (SEC Network)

UPDATE 1:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: The Vols moved from -20.5 to -21 Wednesday at BetMGM, then went to -21.5 this morning. Early spread tickets are 2.5/1 and early spread money 9/1 on Tennessee.

UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: Tennessee's SEC and College Football Playoff hopes got dinged hard in Week 3. The Vols went off as 5.5-point favorites at unranked Florida and lost 29-16.

Texas-San Antonio (1-2 SU/0-3 ATS) was also an upset victim, losing 37-29 as a 7-point home favorite vs. Army.

The Vols are already up to -20.5 at Caesars Sports.

Matchup

• Opening point spread: Florida State -1.5
• Opening moneyline: Florida State -115/Clemson -105
• Opening total: Over/Under 55 points scored
• Time: Noon ET Saturday (ABC)

UPDATE 11:15 A.M. ET SATURDAY: Florida State backed up this morning from -2.5 to -1.5 at BetMGM. The Seminoles opened -2.5 Sunday, went to -1.5 Monday, then spent most of the week at various iterations of -2.5.

Florida State is netting 76% of spread tickets, but a more nominal 61% of spread dollars.

The total spent virtually all week at 55.5, save for a couple hours Tuesday at 56. The Over is taking 76% of tickets/56% of dollars.

UPDATE NOON ET FRIDAY: Fanatics Sportsbook opened Florida State a 1-point chalk and stretched to -2.5 by Tuesday. On Thursday, the number backed up to -2, then this morning went to -1.5.

Still, Ticket count is running almost 8/1 and money almost 4/1 on the Seminoles.

Fanatics' total toggled between 56, 55.5 and 55 throughout the week. In the past hour, it nudged down from 55.5 to 55. Ticket count is 3/1 and money 4/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 3:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: In Week 3, Florida State nearly threw away all the goodwill it gained with its Week 1 win over LSU. The Seminoles (3-0 SU/2-1 ATS), 26.5-point favorites at Boston College, blew a 31-10 third-quarter lead and held on for a 31-29 victory.

Clemson (2-1 SU, 1-2 ATS) had no issues with Florida Atlantic, rolling 48-14 as a 24.5-point home chalk. But that wasn't enough for voters to move the Tigers back into the Top 25.

TwinSpires Sportsbook nudged Florida State up to -2. Early spread ticket count is almost 2/1 and early spread money 2.5/1 on the Seminoles.

"The public is backing Florida State early. A small bit of sharp action on FSU -1.5," TwinSpires director of retail sports Zachary Lucas said.

The total is up a point to 56, with tickets 2.5/1 and money 2/1 on the Over.
