Week 5 College Football Pick #1 – Penn State and Oregon Might Score 100 Points

I’m an SEC guy; I’ve always been. Not my fault, though. I’m from the south, so I was born into it. Still, all that aside, the game I’m looking forward to the most is the Oregon Ducks vs. Penn State Nittany Lions jumpoff. This thing literally has everything.

We’re talking about a quarterback from Oregon who could legit win the Heisman ,and nobody is talking about him.

Dante Moore is nasty. We’re talking about nasty, nasty. The guy has already thrown for almost 1000 yards on the season, and it’s not even October. Sure, the Ducks really haven’t played anyone but they’ve kicked the crap out of literally everyone they’ve played, so there is that. They were given their schedule, they didn’t make it.

The reason I bring up Dante Moore is that we need Oregon to score in this game if we have any hope of going over the posted total. We’re sitting on 51.5, so we need all the help we can get. After seeing Oregon on the road against Northwestern, I’m thinking they can approach a 30-burger in this thing, because Penn State’s defense is not what it was last season.

We’re kind of guessing here, being that Penn State has played the easiest schedule in the country so far. With that being said, once Oregon moves the ball on them, Drew Allar has the acumen to match scores. Totals are about game flows in College Football, and this one has all the makings of a 31-27 type thriller. Feels easy.

• The Bet: Oregon/Penn State Over 51.5 (+118) at FanDuel (With Boost)

Week 5 College Football Pick #2 – Georgia Isn’t Getting Beat at Home

I know I said I’m looking forward to the Penn State/Oregon game more than Bama/Georgia, but I lied a little. I can’t wait for this thing to get going. When it comes to the SEC, we can talk stats all we want, but none of that ends up mattering. The SEC is about vibes, and damnit, Georgia has all the vibes.

They also have a kid who runs at the speed of light.

Sure, Georgia has Zachariah Branch, but they are so much more than just him. We just saw them pull out a thriller in Knoxville last week, and that thing took the entire team. Gunner Stockton is absolutely loaded with talent on the offensive side of the ball, and it looks unfair at times.

Now, Stockton and friends welcome a Bama side that went to Tallahassee, FL, a couple of weeks ago and got smoked by the Seminoles. Not to take anything away from FSU, but they are a far cry from Georgia. From where I’m sitting, the Crimson Tide has a 0.0% chance of going into Athens and covering 2.5 points. This feels easy.
