WEEK 5

FRIDAY

1. LOUISVILLE (4-0) AT NORTH CAROLINA STATE (3-1) +3 push. actually won $$ on this as the line at kickoff was l'ville -3.5
cards have looked good, beating foes by 3 td's/game. but they may be looking ahead to nd next week, plus they're 1-6 ats off back/back wins as a favorite. wolfpack is 7-3 ats as home dogs off a win. nc state.

2. CINCINNATI (2-2) AT BYU (3-1) -2. win
2 good defenses, 2 mediocre offenses. cougars are just 1-6 ats as home chalk. uc is off 2 home losses. flipping a coin, taking the home team.

3. #10 UTAH (4-0) AT #19 OREGON STATE (3-1) -3. win
in '17, the beavers were 1-11. in '18, jonathon smith took over at his alma mater. and not counting the covid year in '20j, osu's win total has been 2, then 5, then 7, then 10-3 w/a bowl win over florida in '22. fantastic job. on the other side, kyle whittingham's team is built on a barbed wire defense and an offense held together by baling wire while qb cam rising rehabs his acl, though he has practiced this week. host has covered 4 straight here, oregon st. is 7-0 ats w/pac 12 revenge, but that's all been as an underdog. still, they are 14-1 ats the last 15 home games, while the utes are 4-9 ats in their last 13 road games. lean to oregon st.

SATURDAY

4. #8 USC (4-0) AT COLORADO (3-1) +21.5. loss. damn trojans, up 34-7
proof positive that tv running cfb has some issues; this game kicks off at 10 am mountain, 9 am pacific time. jeez. buffs got beat up by oregon, while sc sleepwalked thru a 42-28 win in tempe over asu. trojans are 16-0 su all-time vs cu, 8-4 ats the last 12, while colorado is on a 2-8 ats run vs pac 12 opponents. that said, they're also 5-2 ats as home dogs of 10+, while usc is 0-3 ats as -10/more road chalk. ugh. usc.

5. #22 FLORIDA (3-1) AT KENTUCKY (4-0) -1. loss. my nc state $$ goes back in the bookie's pocket
uk has taken the last 2 vs the gators, 3 of the last 5, and 5-0-1 ats the last 6. they haven't won 3 straight in the series since the 40's I think. uf has the better defense, the 'cats don't run the ball like they have in recent years, florida is much more battle-tested schedule wise to this point. gators.

6. CLEMSON (2-2) AT SYRACUSE (4-0) +7 loss
tigers had fsu on the ropes last week, then gave up a scoop/score and missed a game winning fg, which basically popped the bubble on their acc chances. I know the orange haven't exactly played a murderer's row, but 4 of the last 6 in this series have been decided by less than a td. plus (cfb nerd stat alert) 4-0 conference home dogs are 11-3-1 ats vs opponent who allow 19+/game. syracuse.

7. ARIZONA STATE (1-3) AT CAL (2-2) -13. loss
it's been a merry go round at qb for the sun devils, who've played 4 so far this season, trying to spark an offense that's put up just 67 pts so far. asu is 9-4 ats as road dogs while cal is just 4-11-1 ats as home chalk lately. but arizona state has a ton of injuries. cal bounces back from a blowout loss to uw.

8. #2 MICHIGAN (4-0) AT NEBRASKA (2-2) +17. easy win
2 yrs ago in lincoln, um kicked 2 fg's in the last 3:00 to pull out a 32-29 win. huskers have been better so far in '23 both running the ball and stopping the run, while the ugly hats have methodically but very unspectacularly putting away 4 mediocre foes in the big house. here's a cfb nerd stat for you... since '14, teams in their 1st road game after opening the season w/4 straight at home are 17-6 ats. here's another one; the last 14 times unl has been a home dog, they're 0-14 su/4-10 ats. here's another one; the huskers have put up 24 pts, total, vs fbs opponents so far. the wolverines's defense is 10 times better than anyone who's played nebraska to date. um

9. #24 KANSAS (4-0) AT #3 TEXAS (4-0) -16.5. loss. horrible luck w/ku qb daniels going down w/an injury in pre-game
ku has covered 5 of the last 6 in the series, w/rosters not as good as the one they have in '23. texas is 0-7 ats as big 12 chalk of 10+, 2-9 ats the week before the red river shootout vs ou, 1-5 ats off back/back wins. jayhawks are 5-2 ats as big 12 dogs of 10+, 7-3 ats w/big 12 revenge. upset alert. kansas.

10. #13 LSU (3-1) AT #20 OLE MISS (3-1) +2.5. loss. biggest surprise of the weekend imho
lsu has dominated this series lately (6-1 su, 5-2 ats) and the rebels are 0-3 ats after taking on alabama. combined the 2 teams average 1000 yds of total offense/game, but only 1 had any semblance of a defense. bayou bengals.

11. SOUTH CAROLINA AT #21 TENNESSEE (3-1) -12.5. loss
a year ago the gamecocks cold-cocked the then #5 vols 63-38 as +22 underdogs, a 47 pt cover (don't see that too often). apparently bettors still don't believe, despite the underdog in this series going 10-3 ats the last 13 meetings. and b-o-w-o is just 39- ats the last 12 times they played w/revenge. mix in tennessee's suspect secondary w/usc-east qb spencer rattler currently hitting 74% of his passes? I'm picking' the chickin's

12. #11 NOTRE DAME AT #17 DUKE (3-1) +5.5. win
as I was walking out of nd stadium last saturday night, the 60k or so fans dressed in green were walking slowly in a state of shocked silence, while the 20k or so buckeye fans (at least a lot of them) were singing 'we don't give a damn for the whole state of michigan'... why? uh, eh, they really don't give a damn. bigger question is whether the Irish will give a damn about getting over that dramatic loss vs the upstart dukies, who imho are still getting a lot of street cred for beating clemson 28-7 in a game that was really more about the tigers' mistakes. notre dame is 10-3-1 ats of late as road chalk, and they're a lot more used to the 'gameday' hoopla than the blue devils football program is. more trends? nd is 9-0 ats vs acc opponents, 13-1 ats as favorites of -9/less. wake up the echoes...

13. #12 ALABAMA (3-1) AT MISSISSIPPI STATE (2-2) +14.5. win
the crimson tide's defense returned to form last week, holding mississippi to 10 pts/306 total yds. on offense? saban's 3-headed qb trilogy is still trying to find its footing. but so are the bulldogs, who are 0-5 ats as home dogs of 7+ and 1-7 ats in the first of back/back home games, which fits nicely into alabama's 19-4 ats trend in the first of back/back road games and a 5-0 ats record of late in the series. alabama.

14. #1 GEORGIA (4-0) AT AUBURN (3-1) +14.5. win
speaking of 5-0 ats, that's the streak the dawgs have vs war eagle of late. at a&m auburn was awful last week, gaining just 200 yds in a 27-10 loss. uga is 19-8 ats as road chalk, and frankly they're due for a 4-quarter performance. but here's a contradictory cfb nerd stat alert; defending national champs are just 8-14-1 ats as unbeaten away favorites vs .750+ opponents. tigers are also 3-1 ats as sec home dogs of 6+. rolling the dice on a backdoor cover on the plains.

15. WEST VIRGINIA (3-1) AT TCU (3-1) -12. win
since the stunning loss to colorado in the season opener, the horned frogs' offense has been hoping', putting up nearly 40 pts/game and among the leaders in total yards/game. tcu is also 6-1-1 ats as big 12 chalk of 7+. wvu starting qb garrett greene is still banged up (missed last week's upset win over texas tech) and is iffy for saturday, but the mountaineers are running for around 190/game, which I think keeps them close here.

More Eastern football brilliance by Mark Scott here, who seems to think that 21st century history has anything to do with Deion Sanders' revamped 2023 Colorado Buffs team.

Contrary to Mark Scott's latest huge Colorado Buffs point-spread blunder, Colorado actually outscored the USC Trojans 27-14 in the second half-- after giving up 14 points on a blocked punt and INT in the first half.  The final score was USC 48 Colorado 41.

The blocked punt was, ultimately, the difference in the game

The 21 point underdog Buffs came within an on-side kick recovery of tying the game in the 4th quarter.

Three of Colorado's starting DBs were out with injuries in this game-- including Travis Hunter and Shilo Sanders.  But the silver lining there is that two Colorado freshmen played NFL caliber games on Saturday-- especially WR Omarion Miller, who torched the Trojans for almost 200 yards receiving in his first NCAA start.

A few stats for Buckeye/ESPiN genius Mark Scott and Paul Finebaum.

Total yards:  Colorado 564   USC  498

1st Downs:   Colorado 32     USC  26

Rushing yards:  Colorado 193  USC  95

Passing yards    Colorado 371  USC  403

What you conveniently leave out of your stats is the context. There are games where you can make numbers look like a different reality. In this game with 2 1/2 minutes. Left in the first half, USC was winning. 34 to 7. 34 to 7.

At that point, USC had 321 yards of total offense. Colorado at 158. If you want to concentrate on Colorado coming back congrats the total yardage at that point means less because Southern California is more intent on burning clock, whether they have the ball or their force in Colorado to use time, in order to try and come back, which apparently is lost on your feeble sports vacuum of a mind.

If you want to be more impressed that Colorado outgained USC in the second half as opposed to how absolutely awful the buffaloes played in the first half to be down by four touchdowns, be my guest I’m sure you think that makes you smarter.

By the way, if you ever want to talk about games prior to them being played as opposed to the cherry picking Monday morning quarterback, that you’ve decided to take on I’m more than game to match wits with you. Otherwise, all you do is continue to prove that you don’t know as much as you think you do.

Gawd-awful game. Grinch needs to go. I'm not even sure I'd wait til the end of the year. He has no clue.

Let's give some credit to phenomenal performances by Omarion Miller and Shedeur Sanders in that game.

Sanders didn't have much of a pocket, but he still managed to throw for almost 400 yards-- and Miller made some NFL caliber catches in tight coverage.

Mark Scott doesn't seem to realize that USC got the opening kick off, and also got 14 quick points in the first half off of a blocked punt and an INT in Colorado territory.

The Buffs made some defensive adjustments in the second half, and held the Trojans offense to 14 points.  They also got Caleb Williams' first INT of the year.

You could've presented this info without the personal attack....its just 1 game out of 15. Nobody cares. On to next week.

[drjensen]

I'll bet if that guy who cracked his football helmet when he fell off the bench would have been playing for Colorado, they still would have lost. Put a sock in your piehole, no one cares what you think. Colorado lost, end of story.

An ugly win is still a win.

I would have gladly taken ugly in Oxford.

USC is 5-0 and in the Top 10.

Speak for yourself, Jensen.  It's not the end of the story.  

In fact, there's a lot more to the story, for anyone with a modicum of curiosity about the sport of football.

My point is that Colorado was, once again, a 21 point Vegas underdog in a game that they had a shot at tying in the 4th quarter.

Another sports "story" here is Colorado freshman WR Omarion Miller's 196 yards receiving in his first NCAA game.

(BTW, based on Walter's new rules, you should put a sock in your piehole before Walter bans you for posting personal insults.)

[drjensen]

Ha, no one argued that Colorado didn't make a concerted effort, but the fact remains, they lost. You, however, chose to insult Mr. Scott for his observation and prediction of the outcome. I for one, enjoy reading his comments and projections of the games to be played. He puts considerable thought into his choices, and it is obvious to anyone interested in football that he has forgotten more about the game than you have ever known. You chose not to enter into our fall football contest, and I am sure we are all thankful you have abstained; but to no one's surprise you have the gall to stain our weekly contest with your incessant vitirol and gibberish. No one cares what you think, no one even likes you, anyone with any self-respect and minute intelligence would realize this and refrain exposing themselves to the constant abuse you bring upon yourself and refrain from exposing themselves to the ridicule you bring upon yourself. This is not intended to be an insult to you, I am merely stating facts and observations that will be backed by all the posters on this site. I have chosen to vacate most of this site as I find it an insult to my intelligence and it serves no personal gain for me to read the opinions of others I have little or no respect for. This particular thread has been set up for our weekly guesses as to who will win and by how much and at the end of the season, the winner is awarded a useless avatar with some semblance of Liz and can carry bragging rights until the next season. Comments such as yours are unwelcome as they carry no bearing on what the subject matter is. My Hawkeyes won, wasn't pretty and I ain't bragging about it, but they won, your Colorado Buffaloes lost, learn to deal with it. And you should be banned for not using my proper name!
