NOTE: The Kalshi contract prices were correct at the time of writing but could change.Ole Miss vs. LSU prices on KalshiGame winnerIn Lane Kiffin’s return to Oxford, his familiarity with Ole Miss’ schemes could be an advantage. LSU will look to expose the Ole Miss pass defense. Defensively, the Tigers might also dominate up front. The Ole Miss faithful will provide a raucous home-field advantage, and the Rebels have won three of the past four meetings. If QB Trinidad Chambliss can evade the LSU pass rush, Ole Miss might be able to stick close.This will be the premier college football prediction market matchup for Week 3. Point spread: LSU by 2.5 pointsTo cover the spread, the Tigers must avoid turnovers, as they committed four last week. Kiffin should have his team well-prepared to play in a hostile environment.Despite the turnovers, LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt passed for four touchdowns vs. Louisiana Tech. It will be on Chambliss to see if he can keep pace with the LSU gunner.Total points: 58.5 LSU will do its part to drive up the score behind Leavitt. The Tigers have posted 1,172 yards of offense in their first two games, which is a program record. Chambliss will be a key in this market, too. How he performs could determine how much Kalshi users have to sweat. SMU vs. Louisville prices on KalshiGame winnerBased on Kalshi prices, this is expected to be a tight game. SMU has won all four previous meetings, and Mustangs QB Kevin Jennings passed for a career-high five TDs in just one half last week. Louisville QB Lincoln Kienholz will look to match or stay close to Jennings’ output. So far this season, the Cardinals are averaging 552 yards per game. Louisville wants to exact some revenge after losing to SMU in each of the past two seasons. Point spread: Louisville by 1.5 pointsKienholz will be the key to Louisville covering the spread, as he aims to test the SMU pass defense. Last week against Villanova, he passed for two TDs and rushed for two more. SMU will be willing to trade offensive punches with the Cardinals, as it is averaging 442.0 passing yards per game. Total points: 59.5 Both teams have potent offenses, so this market might appeal to Kalshi traders. SMU held Louisville to six points in a 32-point win over the Cardinals last year. Louisville is +3 in turnover margin this season.Alabama vs. Florida St. prices on KalshiGame winnerThe consensus is that this will be a one-sided affair largely in Alabama’s favor. In 2025, FSU toppled the Crimson Tide by 14 points in the season opener, and the Tide should be out for revenge. Alabama is coming off a 28-point win over Kentucky. The Crimson Tide are allowing 32.5 rushing yards per game. To have any hope of pulling off another surprise, FSU must be effective running the ball. Point spread: Alabama by 20.5 pointsTo have a shot at covering the spread, FSU will have to clean up its problems from its first two games. In their loss to SMU in Week 1, the Seminoles won the turnover battle, 4-0, but managed just seven points off the opportunities. The Seminoles have also struggled on third downs, and their pass defense has been consistently burned. FSU must have an impressive turnaround to stick close to Alabama.Total points: 49.5 This will be a tough draw for the FSU secondary, which allowed 430 passing yards and three TDs to SMU. The Tide might push this game near the total largely by themselves, but FSU might contribute with some garbage-time points.
