Here’s our locks for week five of college football
With Ole Miss on a bye, its time for a perfect week of picks
Week five of college football brings some intriguing matchups that could lead to some exciting watching for fans, especially those looking to gamble. Ole Miss' struggles continue, but the Cup has bounced back with our picks keeping the season at .500 with a 9-9 record.
The Week Four CFB LOCKS include Boston College (+21) taking on No. 21 SMU. Although SMU has been averaging 37 points per game, Boston College's 2-2 record may make this game closer than expected, thanks to Bill O'Brien's leadership.
No. 7 Alabama (-6) faces off against No. 16 Mississippi State. Despite Alabama's recent dominance, Mississippi State seems set for a letdown game this week, almost 20 years after Alabama's last loss to Mississippi State.
Kentucky (+3) takes on South Carolina in another unpredictable matchup. Kentucky is battling for surprise of the year in the SEC, while South Carolina appears to be on the decline, possibly leading to Shane Beamer's departure before the year ends. Kentucky is expected to secure a win in this game.
Arkansas vs. Texas A&M (-14) presents a stark contrast after Arkansas' poor performances in the previous two weeks. Texas A&M might be the worst team in the SEC, presenting an opportunity for Arkansas State to secure a home victory.
Lastly, Arkansas State vs. Louisiana-Lafayette (-6.5) features a ragged Cajun offense against an inconsistent Ragin' Cajun defense. The night game in Louisiana could turn ugly, with Louisiana-Lafayette potentially winning by a touchdown or more.
