Week 5 college football prediction market picks: Pitt, West Virginia upset bets

Pittsburgh and West Virginia are the top picks for Week 5 college football prediction markets as underdogs. Ohio State, Miami, Texas Tech and USC complete the card, built on efficiency stats and recent form. Pitt brings one of the country's best defenses to Blacksburg, while West Virginia's ground game gives it a strong chance against Iowa State.

Ohio State pairs a top-10 defense with a top-15 offense, making it a well-rounded team. The markets are optimistic about Iowa, but the Buckeyes are unfairly being faded due to the reshuffling of the Big Ten's hierarchy after Week 4.
