What are the lines for Week 3 of the 2022 college football season – and what should they be?

After last week and all of the craziness, this gets more interesting than ever to try predicting how the public views the lines, at least right out of the gate.

As always, I give my first guess without looking, and then add the actual opening lines after.

The early college football lines and odds for Week 1 of the 2022 season. Where are the potential values?
