Can Colorado keep up with UCF in the first half? Will the Ducks put up big points in Big Ten After Dark? Geoff Schwartz breaks it all down with his Week 5 best bets.
College football Week 5 features some intriguing matchups, including one between UCLA and Oregon that I have my eye on. One reason that I'm looking at that game is because Oregon is close to my heart. I was a lineman there before my NFL career, so as a player-turned-fan, I know more than a little when it comes to my Ducks. Of course, there are a few other games that I think are worth a wager. So let's dive into my best bets for Week 5. No. 20 Oklahoma State @ No.
Kansas State to win by more than 5 points Colorado @ UCF Colorado is heading to Orlando after an epic win against Baylor on Saturday night. The Buffaloes converted on a Hail Mary to force overtime, quickly scored in the first overtime period and then forced a fumble on Baylor’s OT possession to win the game 31-24. The two best players on the field, Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter, came up big in those moments to get the win for the Buffs.
UCF to lead my more than 7.5 points in the first half No. 8 Oregon @ UCLA Oregon is off a bye and ready to score points in bunches against UCLA’s poor defense. The Bruins defense — having played Hawaii, Indiana and LSU — ranks 126th in points allowed per drive. It is 130th in passing success rate defense, 126th in pressure rate and dead last in third-down defense.
