ON WE DRIVE IN WEEK FIVE.

Last weekend we went a perfect 8 and 0.

Let that sink in for a moment.

Close your eyes and envision that huge stack of cash you made. Cha ching, baby.

That puts us at a 78% winning clip!! Hard to beat that.

So let’s keep the party rolling with another great slate of games, starting with tonight’s Penn State v Maryland game.

[note: beach time calls so this weekend’s edition is pithy and to the point…but still full of winning nuggets].

THE GREAT EIGHT™ FOR WEEK FIVE

  

MISSISSIPPI STATE @ #7 AUBURN…the Tigers have yet to hit full stride with their offense but yet has come away with two huge road wins over Oregon and Texas A&M. Their lines have been exceptional, and do a great job of controlling the game. The Bulldogs are a scrappy bunch and will make this a close game, but not good enough to win. Fly with the War Eagles over Missy State.

#5 OHIO STATE @ NEBRASKA…the Buckeyes finally face an offense that can put up points as the Cornhuskers have their run game hitting on all pistons. Last week against Illinois, the Bug Eaters racked up 346 rushing yards. Unfortunately they have no defense, especially in the secondary. QB Adrian Martinez will make things interesting in the first half but then look for the acorns to pull away as Justin Fields fires up the OSU offense. Put your bucks on the Buckeyes.

NORTHWESTERN  @ #8 WISCONSIN…the Wildcat passing game is the least efficient in college football, hitting only 48% of its throws with only 1 TD pass and 6 picks. Meanwhile the Badgers are #1 in pass efficiency defense. Add in rb Jonathan Taylor and his physical running and the Badgers will walk out with a win. Go big on this one. Badgers bite the Wildcats.

WASHINGTON STATE @ #19 UTAH…both teams are licking their wounds from big losses last week. The Cougars lost a big time shootout with UCLA and the Utes were stung by Southern Cal. So both teams are looking to get back to winning. Keep an eye on Cougar qb Anthony Gordon. He passed for 570 yards and 9 touchdowns last week, and is averaging ten yards per pass with 21 scores and just 4 picks. This will be a close one. In an UPSET SPECIAL, the Cougars chew the Utes.

#12 PENN STATE @ MARYLAND…this is a Friday night game so don’t let this slip by. If the Terps can shake off their melt down versus Temple and crank up their offense, they can pull off a huge win in College Park. The Nittany Lions might not be able to keep pace. They are last in the Big Ten and 127^th in the country in 3^rd down conversions, and they do very little to control the clock. In an UPSET SPECIAL, Terps snap the blue and white.

TEXAS TECH @ #6 OKLAHOMA…qb Jalen Hurts is all you need to know about the Sooners. He’s proven to be a winner and can kill you with his arm or his feet. The Sooners are 2^nd in the nation in rushing, 2^nd in 3^rd down converiosn, 2^nd in scoring offense. The Red Raider offense will not be able to keep pace. BUT…the 27 point line is just too tempting to ignore. So take Texas Tech and the points. Sooners will not cover.

#21 SOUTHERN CAL @ #17 WASHINGTON…Jacob Eason, the Huskie qb, is playing really, really well, and will be the difference maker in this game. Plus the Washington defense doesn’t have to worry about a Trojan run game. So the table is set for a big conference win at home. Huskies bark Saturday night.

#18 VIRGINIA @ #10 NOTRE DAME…surely the Cavs have studied film from last week’s ND-UGA game and know that the Irish lack a run game which will face a pretty strong defensive front. The Irish passing game will have to make up for weak running and they have the horses to do it. Virginia will be looking for a huge road win, and there’s no better place than South Bend to pull the upset. But not this Saturday. In a close one, Irish spank the Cavs.
