Just guessing but I would say the -3 has juice attached (probably -110 or even -120) while the -3.5 is even money if you lay the extra half point. Probably plus 3 is minus 110 or minus 120 and plus 3.5 is -110 or more likely -120.
The alternate gives you a choice.
There is also a possibility that the alternate means that you can switch favorites and lay or take heavy juice on either side at opposite the actual number. For example you can have Ole Miss the Favorite plus 3 instead of minus 3 but you have to lay some heavy juice like -60 or 70 cents.
Your example makes it for me at least a bit difficult to be sure what it means.

what it actually means is that you can lay with us -3 and -3.5 at plus +105 since the line moved recently ( was -3,-3.5 even)
IF the games falls at 3, you push half your bet and you lose the other
the advantage is that you don't lay as much as you would at any other book as long as you risk the -3 and -3.5, and it's called an asian line
