Best Bets for College Football Week 5 Odds
Best Bets for Ohio State vs Washington
The Ohio State Buckeyes continued to roll last week, storming to a lopsided 37-9 victory over the Ohio Bobcats and have now outscored opponents by a massive 121-16 margin during a sensational 3-0 start.
However, the Buckeyes can expect a stiffer challenge from the Washington Huskies, who have regularly run up the score during a 3-0 start, capped by last week's 59-24 rout of the rival Washington State Cougars. Perched as 9.5-point road favorites on the college football odds, the Buckeyes have benefited from Julian Sayin's breakthrough performance. The sophomore pivot piled up 347 passing yards and three touchdowns in last week's win, and is poised to pay out on the college football props as a -115 bet to record OVER 255.5 passing yards.
However, Ohio State cannot afford to look past a Huskies squad that ranks second in the nation with 55.7 points scored per game. The big challenge for the Buckeyes will be shutting down star running back Jonah Coleman, who has already racked up nine scoring runs and is a solid pick to top 64.5 rushing yards.
Best Bets for Oregon vs Penn State
The Penn State Nittany Lions have effectively shut down opponents during a 3-0 start, allowing just two total touchdowns, both of which came in the dying seconds of crushing victories over Nevada and Villanova. That should work in their favor against an Oregon squad that remains unbeaten, but which has struggled to put up points early on in their past two contests.
Indeed, the ante gets raised for Oregon's sophomore passer Dante Moore, who has enjoyed a big confidence boost while tossing for 11 scores against just one pick in his debut as a starter. Can Moore maintain that momentum against the national champions. The short answer is no, with college football betting fans likely best served by taking Moore as a -155 bet to toss UNDER 1.5 touchdowns.
Best College Football Week 5 Picks
- Julian Sayin: OVER 255.5 passing yards | -115
- Jonah Coleman: OVER 64.5 rushing yards | -115
- Dante Moore: UNDER 1.5 touchdown passes | -155
Best Events to Use the BetMGM Bonus Code For Saturday September 27
- NCAAF: Luke Altmyer, OVER 1.5 touchdown passes | +105. The Illinois Fighting Illini were humbled in a stunning 63-10 loss to Indiana last week, and will be eager to atone for that debacle when they host USC on Saturday. Quarterback Luke Altmyer took the loss particularly hard, apologizing to fans following the loss. However, the senior is a good bet to bounce back against a slumping Trojans pass defense, and offers excellent value as a +105 bet to complete OVER 1.5 TD passes.
- NCAAF: Alabama vs Georgia, OVER 53.5 | -110. The Alabama Crimson Tide have rebounded from a stunning season-opening loss to Florida State with consecutive lopsided wins while averaging 55.5 points per game. While betting the Tide to claim a ninth straight victory over the Bulldogs while pegged as 2.5-point underdogs is not for the faint of heart, sports bettors should expect fireworks as this renewal of this rivalry gets celebrated with plenty of scoring.
