College Football Week 3 Anytime Touchdown Scorer Picks: LSU vs. Mississippi State 

We’re through two weeks of the college football season, and the way it sits right now, I’m 4-2 on my touchdown prop bets on the year. I’ve used Notre Dame running back Audric Estime on back-to-back weeks, but I’m going to fade him this week. Not because I don’t like the matchup but just because I want to show some love to other players who have had strong starts to the season. Even though I love having a running back touchdown prop on my bet slip, I’m going to go all wide receivers this week due to some intriguing passing attacks. Let’s jump into my favorite touchdown scorers for week 3 of college football, specifically looking at LSU vs. Mississippi State .

College Football Week 3 Anytime Touchdown Scorer Picks: LSU vs. Mississippi State 

(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)

LSU vs. Mississippi State 

The Bulldogs of Mississippi State needed some serious help from their defense to hold off Arizona last week. Their defense forced five turnovers and kept Arizona inches away from a 4th down conversion in overtime. Unfortunately for them, they’re playing LSU this week, and despite a tough week one loss to Florida State, I’d expect LSU to play much better than what they did in Week 1. 

While there’s plenty of attention towards wide receiver Malik Nabers, there’s another receiver being slept on in the LSU offense. That receiver is Brian Thomas Jr., for the Tigers. Through two weeks of the season, he has 13 receptions for 220 yards and three touchdowns. With so much attention drawn to Nabers, I believe that Thomas could see some 1-on-1 opportunities. Especially down in the red-zone. Keep in mind that Arizona just torched Mississippi State through the air for over 340 yards last week. I’d look for his 6-foot-4 and 200 pound frame to have another strong performance as LSU aims to be 2-1 after the third week of the season. 

Bet: Brian Thomas Jr over 0.5 receiving touchdowns (+130)
