CFB Week 5
Miami +7 @ North Carolina - The 1-4 Tarheels only win this season vs James Madison. This will probably be the toughest test so far. North Carolina has lost 2 defensive starters this season and are lacking experience in depth. All of Miami's 4 wins this season have been by 10 or more. North Carolina 5-11-1 ATS last 17.
Vanderbilt +8 @ Auburn - Auburn will have problems covering this one off of the Florida upset and with Arkansas and LSU on deck. Vanderbilt is 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 road games. Vanderbilt has slightly better avgs. in both defense and offensive categories. Teams haven't met since '03.
Bowling Green +20 @ Boston College - 3-1 Bowling Green getting a ton of pts here. Their only loss @ Mich. St. by 11. In their 3 wins vs Minnesota, Temple and W. Kentucky they've scored 121 pts. Boston College hasn't won by more than 20 all year and have faced some pretty poor competition in Army, UMass, N.C. St.
Michigan -29.5 vs E. Michigan - E. Mich has already lost @ Pitt by 24, vs Ball St by 22 and @ Vanderbilt by 23. Last trip to East Lansing was a 55-0 drubbing.
Kansas +3.5 @ Kansas St. - Kansas St. seems to be the popular pick here but Kansas way better offensively, even given their light schedule. K. State off of a big win over Texas doesn't really say that much considering Texas' poor play so far. The other 2 Wildcat wins over pathetic San Jose St and Missouri St. The Jayhawks have scored 214 pts in 3 games and have only given up 23!
Florida St -17.5 vs N.C. State - Big grudge match here with losses to N.C. State the past 2 years. N.C. State ex-head coach Chuck Amato now defensive coordinator for the Seminoles also looking for payback after being fired last year. N.C. State starting QB Beck will be out this week. Xavier Lee named starter at QB for Florida St. adds scrambling dimension to offense.
USC -40 vs Stanford - Starting QB T.C. Ostrander out for Stanford. Replacement Tavita Pritchard has virtually no college game experience. USC snubbed in the standings after lame effort vs Washington should not hold back in this one. Stanford lost 41-3 last week at home vs Arizona St. Should be even worse this week.
LSU -7 vs Florida - LSU by a TD at home is hard to beat. Florida lost at home vs a lousy Auburn team last week now have to travel to Baton Rouge to play the best team in the country and it's only a TD? 5-0 LSU outscoring opponents 199-32!
Notre Dame +22 @ UCLA - Notre Dame has improved slightly in only losing by 14 and 17 the last 2 games, one of them against one of the best offenses in the country in Purdue. UCLA coming off of a couple of conference games and looking at a bye next week before facing Cal. May not be taking the Irish too seriously at this point.
Virginia -10 @ Middle Tennesssee St. - 4-1 Virginia should be able to run all over 1-4 Middle Tennessee and defense should be able to tame Blue Raiders strength in the running game. Virginia special teams and defense way better.
