Week 5 Picks

4-3 last week (18-11-2 overall), need to stop being mediocre. First big week of conference play, and we have two monster games (Stanford/Oregon and Tide/Gators). God Bless October, God Bless College Football, and God Bless America.

Texas A&M to cover in Stillwater (getting 3, o/u 67) against the Cowboys
Forgot to get this up. Thought Jerrod J would have a great game, the picks killed my chances of a W and ended up in a push.

Oklahoma to cover in the Cotton Bowl (giving 3.5, o/u 45) against the Longhorns
Texas can not run the ball and without a QB who is a threat to run, the sooner D will be able to shut down the Horns. Oklahoma’s vertical passing game should be able to use good field position and their talented to receivers to give the Muschamp led D fits.

Wisconsin to cover in East Lansing (giving 2, o/u53.5) against Sparty
The Badgers are getting healthy and will be able to run the ball against the Spartans, they will get their guards into the second level and onto Greg Jones and the MSU backers. We saw Sparty’s duel RBs gash the Irish for 60 minutes, but UW’s D brings the wood. Tolzien and his healthy receivers will covert the 3rd and shorts that their running backs give them, and get a big road W.

NC State to cover in Carter-Finley (getting 4, o/u 54.5) against the Hokies
Russell Wilson and the Pack might have found something special. Va Tech’s lack of sophisticated offense and their inability to open holes for their RBs will make beating the Pack in Carter-Finley too tall of a task. The Pack LBs should be able to control Tyrod Taylor’s scrambling.

The world’s most famous Pack fan, Brian Fork, is smoking a whole hog for tailgate. Below is a highlight video of the tailgate of the win against Cincy on a Thursday night.


The Irish to cover in Boston (giving 2.5, o/u 45) against the Eagles
Wake up the Echoes. The Boston College offense is worse than the Irish D, they are completely inept. Crist, Rudolph, and Floyd will have a big day and the Irish will win by double digits.

Florida to cover in Tuscaloosa (getting 8, o/u 48) against the Tide
Give me Urban Meyer and 8 points and I’ll take it every freaking time. I am worried about another midseason slump from Tide’s QB1. While Ingram will be run all over the Gators, Brantley and his weapons should be able to score with Bama.

Oregon to cover in Autzen (giving 7, o/u 65) against Stanford
The Stanford O did not look as good as they should have Saturday afternoon in South Bend, I think that going on the road to Autzen is going to be too much. I really love Jimmy H and the Cardinal, but I just think the Oregon speed is going win over the Stanford power. I don’t feel great about this game at all, but I am so jacked up to watch it.

Hurricanes to cover in Death Valley (giving 3.5, o/u 51) against Clemson
Don’t love Jacory on the road and I really think the Tiger D is underrated. The fact that the Canes had 9 days to prep after killing Wanny gives me a little bit of pause but I think its time for a signature win in the reign of Dabo.
