College Football Picks Week 5

Texas Longhorns		Oklahoma Sooners

Neither team has the offense of recent editions, both are still solid on D and both trying to establish a run game.

UNDER 45

Duke Blue Devils		Maryland Terrapins

Duke over matched on the road here.

Maryland -7

Temple Owls		Army Black Knights

Temple doesn't have the depth on D to consistently slow down Army and may end up with too many FGs on offense to extend the margin.

Army +5

Texas Tech Red Raiders		Iowa State Cyclones

Cyclones will be ready for this one and have the mobile QB play that can give TT some trouble on D and Tech is struggling to find themselves so far this season.

Iowa State +7

Kentucky Wildcats		Mississippi Rebels

Look for the ball in the air early and often.

OVER 58.5

Idaho Vandals		Western Michigan Broncos

WMU off their bye week, at home and Idaho facing yet another road game - that will be the difference here.

Western Michigan +3

TCU Horned Frogs		Colorado State Rams

TCU will get most of this number on their own, then take out their starters and CSU finishes off the high scoring game.

OVER 53.5

Buffalo Bulls		Bowling Green Falcons

Just not impressed enough with Bowling Green to lay points, even at home and Buffalo U looking to be their consistently solid selves.

Buffalo +3.5

Northern Illinois Huskies		Akron Zips

Neither team in this one is 14 points better than too many teams in CFB. Akron will give a weary NIU team all they can handle.

Akron +14

Arizona State Sun Devils		Oregon State Beavers

Both teams have big play potential in all 3 phases of the game - offense, defense and special teams.

OVER 58.5

Wyoming Cowboys		Toledo Rockets

We like the Rockets at home as Wyoming not nearly as good on the road.

Toledo -3

Washington Huskies		Southern California Trojans

We said it last week, USC not a great team but they have too much talent and too much speed on D to not have success against a very one-dimensional team.

USC -10
