These are my week 3 football picks. I had a really good week last week. Last week I went 5-1 with my football picks. That's way better than the 3-3 I did the week before. The only game I missed last week was the Alabama/Texas game. So overall I'm 8-4 for the season. That's a winning record! I'd make it to the playoffs with a record like that.

This week, all of my college football picks will be in the SEC. There are some big matchups in the SEC this weekend. One of them being the last meeting between Georgia and South Carolina for a while. Those two teams won't be playing each other for the next three years. The reason is because of Texas and Oklahoma joining the SEC next season.

I'm also really looking forward to the Falcons/Packers game coming up Sunday. The Atlanta Falcons looked pretty good last week. The running game was explosive, and the defense was causing turnovers. Those are two things we haven't been able to say about The Falcons in several years.

I'd love to go 5-1 again, or 6-0! Honestly, as long as I get more games right than wrong, I'll be happy.

Alright, here we go, these are my week 3 football picks.

14 LSU @ Mississippi State

This game is Saturday at Noon on ESPN. LSU is favored by 9.5 points. I think that LSU will pull out the win. They're really looking to make some statements and bounce back after that week one loss to Florida State. Geaux Tigers! Gimme LSU by 10.

Dub's Official Pick- LSU

South Carolina @ 1 Georgia

This game will be Saturday at 3:30 on CBS. Georgia is favored by 27.5 points. This will be the last time these two teams will meet for at least three years. I think the Dawgs wanna leave this rivalry with a W in the column. I think they roll at home. Gimme The Dawgs by at least 3 touchdowns.

Dub's Official Pick- Georgia

11 Tennessee @ Florida

This game is Saturday night at 7pm on ESPN. Tennessee is favored by 6 points. I think Florida is still struggling to find their footing this season, well honestly they've been struggling the last few seasons. I think this could be a pretty back and forth game. I think that Florida will try to make a statement at home, but ultimately I think Tennessee gets the job done. Gimme The Vols by a touchdown.

Dub's Official Pick- Tennessee

The Green Bay Packers @ The Atlanta Falcons

This game is Sunday at 1pm on FOX. The Packers are favored by 1. Last week, I was really impressed with The Falcons. The defense looked good, the run game was on point, their performance was pretty dang good. I think the Falcons will win again at home this week. Gimme The Dirty Birds by a touchdown!

Dub's Official Pick- The Atlanta Falcons

The San Francisco 49ers @ The LA Rams

This game is Sunday at 4:05 on FOX. The 49ers are favored by 8. I think the 49ers are going to be one of the teams to beat in the NFL this season. I think they could very well be Super Bowl bound, if they can keep everyone healthy. I'll take them by 10.

Dub's Official Pick- The San Francisco 49ers

The New York Jets @ The Dallas Cowboys

This game is Sunday at 4:25 on CBS. Dallas is favored by 9. I think the Jets caught a lucky break pulling out a win this past Monday night over The Bills. I think it might be a little closer to a touchdown. So give me The Cowboys by a touchdown.

Dub's Official Pick- The Dallas Cowboys
