Our 7 best bets for Week 5 of the college football season

This is probably the toughest game that Ohio State has played yet, but the Buckeyes haven't scored less than 42 points so far this season. The line is a bit long, but Ohio State's potential for explosive plays could put this one away early with a few quick scores.

Last weekend UCLA pulled off one of the most impressive comebacks in college football history, erasing a 32-point deficit to beat Washington State for their first win of the season. After that marathon of a game, it feels like there might be a bit of a hangover-effect heading into this week's matchup against Arizona.

In a matchup of styles, give me the non-stop offensive attack of the Oklahoma State Cowboys over the more regimented approach of Stanford. Through four games, we've yet to see any real spark from the 1-3 Cardinal, and I don't expect one to come on Saturday.

According to the Action Network, 58% of bets have been on Purdue in this game, but a whopping 93% of the total money bet has come in on Minnesota.

This indicates that a few large bettors are incredibly confident in the Golden Gophers to cover the number. I don't have a great read on this game personally, but I trust their instincts.

After a scare against Army in Week 2 and getting blown out by Wisconsin last weekend, what better way for the Wolverines to recover than rolling over Rutgers in the Big House.

Michigan is far from a powerhouse this year, but you don't need to be a powerhouse to beat Rutgers by four touchdowns.

The Pac 12 looks wide open and better than expected, and I trust Washington head coach Chris Petersen to get the Huskies a shot in the conference title game. Getting there means taking care of business against the likes of USC.
