2019 College Football Week 5 ATS Betting Picks

Written by on September 24, 2019

As we head into College Football Week 5, all the major players are still alive and well in the top 4. The same cannot be said for the rankings below them, though, with Notre Dame and Michigan both seeing their stock drop after losses in Week 4.

We are now heading into the portion of the season where the conference games begin to come into play, so we may well see those rankings change dramatically in the coming weeks. For now, let’s look ahead to Week 5 and make some ATS NCAAF betting picks from what is a very busy schedule.

2019 College Football Week 5 ATS Betting Picks

2019 College Football Week 5 SU Betting Picks

Texas Tech Red Raiders at Oklahoma Sooners (-27)

I am always a little wary about playing these games with larger spreads, but this one is small enough to make it worthwhile for me. The Sooners are absolutely tearing it up on the offensive side of the football with Jalen Hurts under center, so there is no reason to believe that their numbers are suddenly going to drop off this week.

Week 5 has been a good one to wager on the Sooners ATS, as they have covered in each of their last 6 games at this stage of the season. In comparison, the Red Raiders are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6.

  • Sooners are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games
  • Sooners are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games played in week 5

Northwestern Wildcats at Wisconsin Badgers (-24)

Here I go again with another larger spread, but after watching Wisconsin last weekend, I get the sense that this team is for real. They absolutely dismantled the Michigan Wolverines in a 35-14 win that was even more lopsided than the score suggests.

With that win and the cover, the Badgers have now covered the spread in 5 of their last 6 games. In that same stretch, the Northwestern Wildcats have managed to cover just once. I think the Badgers win big here and cover.

  • Wildcats are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games
  • Wildcats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against Wisconsin
  • Badgers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games
  • Badgers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games played in week 5

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at Temple Owls (-9 ½)

It has been a rough start to the season for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, which is no real surprise when you consider that they have a new head coach who is trying to change the offense. That is going to take some time to happen, with the results being that the Yellow Jackets are struggling to get points on the board.

Temple looks like a good pick for College Football Week 5.

The end result is that the Yellow Jackets have now failed to cover in each of their last 6 games. There are a lot of reasons to like Temple against the spread here, starting with the fact that they have covered in 10 of their last 14. They are also 5-0 ATS in each of their last 5 games in Week 5.

  • Yellow Jackets are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games
  • Yellow Jackets are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games played in September
  • Owls are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games
  • Owls are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games played in week 5

Stanford Cardinal (-3 ½) at Oregon State Beavers in College Football Week 5

The Cardinal are having a rough season, as they will be coming into this one with a 1-3 record after the first 4 weeks. They have the same record against the spread, which might have you looking at a bit of an upset here.

The thing to remember here is that the Cardinal have had a serious edge over the Oregon State Beavers, winning 9 of their last 10 meetings. During that stretch, the Cardinal covered the spread in 7 of those 10 games. The size of this spread makes me think that the Cardinal might just be able to cover.

College Football Week 5 Betting Trends

  • Cardinal are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games
  • Cardinal are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games against Oregon State
  • Beavers are 4-8 ATS in their last 12 games
  • Beavers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games at home
