Games to Bet Big in NCAAF Week 5
Now, let’s take a look at a few games that you suggest betting on this coming weekend.

 

8 USC Trojans at Colorado Buffaloes | BET BIG

NCAAF Odds: USC -21.5; Colorado +21.5 / USC -1694; Colorado +840 / O/U 73.5
Saturday, September 30th, 2023 at 12:00 PM | FOX
Folsom Field, Boulder, CO

The Trojans struggled a little against Arizona State, but do not expect that to continue as they come to Boulder for the Big Noon Saturday. Colorado is coming off a complete beatdown by Oregon.

Expect more of the same here, as Caleb Williams wants to put a stamp on his back-to-back Heisman Trophies. Three touchdowns do not seem like enough for a USC team that loves to continue to score.

6 Penn State Nittany Lions at Northwestern Wildcats | BET BIG

NCAAF Odds: Penn State -26; Northwestern +26 / Penn State -4000; Northwestern +1250 / O/U 46
Saturday, September 30th, 2023 at 12:00 PM | BTN
Ryan Field, Evanston, IL

Northwestern picked up a rare conference win over Minnesota. That’s a bad loss for the Golden Gophers, as Northwestern was a team that many felt would not win a single conference game.

Now, the Nittany Lions come to town fresh off their beatdown shut-out win over Iowa. Look for Penn State’s defense to stay mad. Look for another shut-out as the Nittany Lions cover this spread.

24 Kansas Jayhawks at 3 Texas Longhorns | BET BIG

NCAAF Odds: Kansas +17; Texas -17 / Kansas +550; Texas -900 / O/U 64
Saturday, September 30th, 2023 at 3:30 PM | ABC
DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium, Austin, TX

The Kansas Jayhawks are getting overlooked here. Sure, it will be a hostile environment in Austin, and Texas are one of the top teams in America.

But Kansas is well-coached and disciplined throughout. Look for the Jayhawks to get enough stops and use their skill guys on offense to keep this a significant sweat for Steve Sarkisian and his Longhorns.

9 Oregon Ducks at Stanford Cardinal | BET BIG

NCAAF Odds: Oregon -27; Oregon +27 / O/U 61.5
Saturday, September 30th, 2023 at 6:30 PM | PAC12
Stanford Stadium, Stanford, CA

Back in the Pac-12. What the Oregon Ducks did to Colorado was laughable. Stanford is not the team Colorado is. The home crowd at Stanford no longer makes a difference.

This is a really weak Cardinal squad. Oregon goes to Palo Alto and wins by 4+ touchdowns over the Cardinal. Look for another big game from Bo Nix and the Ducks.

Games to Avoid in NCAAF Week 5
Now, let’s take a look at a few games that you suggest avoiding on when betting this coming weekend.

 

2 Michigan Wolverines at Nebraska Cornhuskers | AVOID

NCAAF Odds: Michigan -18; Nebraska +18 / Michigan -1100; Nebraska +650 / O/U 40
Saturday, September 30th, 2023 at 3:30 PM | FOX
Memorial Stadium, Lincoln, NE

Do we trust Nebraska? But can Michigan figure out a few of the offensive issues they got going on? In a Big Ten game, you never know. It’s probably best if we just stay away from this game.

The #2 team in College Football should not have a problem here, but it’s a road Big Ten game after all.

1 Georgia Bulldogs at Auburn Tigers | AVOID

NCAAF Odds: Georgia -14.5; Auburn +14.5 / O/U 47
Saturday, September 30th, 2023 at 3:30 PM | CBS
Jordan-Hare Stadium, Auburn, AL

The hook scares us here. Georgia has shown they will let teams stick around for a little bit. Auburn may be good enough to stay within two scores in this one.

Just stay away, much like the Michigan game. We know which team is the better team, but the points scare us here. Avoid betting the Bulldogs and Tigers!

23 Missouri Tigers at Vanderbilt Commodores | AVOID

NCAAF Odds: Missouri -13.5; Vanderbilt +13.5 / Missouri -526; Vanderbilt +380 / O/U 55
Saturday, September 30th, 2023 at 4:00 PM | SEC
FirstBank Stadium, Nashville, TN

The Missouri Tigers are coming off an emotional win over Memphis. The jury is still out on how good Missouri is.

Vanderbilt has enough weapons to make this an exciting game. Two touchdowns seem like quite a bit for a home underdog. Just stay away from this game and watch how it plays out!

17 Duke Blue Devils vs. 11 Notre Dame Fighting Irish | AVOID

NCAAF Odds: Duke +5.5; Notre Dame -5.5 / Duke +182; Notre Dame -227 / O/U 52.5
Saturday, September 30th, 2023 at 7:30 PM | ABC
Wallace Wade Stadium, Durham, NC

This is a dangerous game for Marcus Freeman and his Irish. They will spend the entire week defending themselves after the terrible loss at the buzzer to Ohio State.

How focused will they be as they go on the road to Duke? Duke is a talented football team with a chance to win the Atlantic Coast Conference. We aren’t calling it entirely, but we are considering an upset in the making here!
