Bet ✓: College football (Week 5) picks

 It's been almost a week and you're still walking around talking to yourself because you had under 46.5 in the Notre Dame vs. Wisconsin game. I feel your pain if you watched in disbelief as the offensively challenged Irish scored 21 points in the fourth quarter -- on a special teams touchdown and two defensive 🏠 calls. Sorry.

 But it's Thursday and you should be on the way to the grocery store right now to buy some adult beverages and grill favorites because Week 5 is here: 

 Virginia @ Miami (-8.5) - 7:30 p.m., Thurs., ESPN

 Miami, down to the point their coach has to start a presser by swatting away media criticism, opens ACC play as more than a TD fav at home for third time this season. Virginia, ama flawed opponent yet to score a conference win, is playing at Hard Rock Stadium for the third straight year. Third time is the charm - no matter who starts at QB for the Hurricanes. 

 

Drop of a hat: Miami (-8.5) opens ACC play vs. Virginia at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. 

 No. 12 Ole Miss (+14.5) @ Alabama - 3:30 p.m., CBS

 Kind of smelly digits here considering Ole Miss has had an extra week to prepare with a Heisman Trophy candidate and played Alabama pretty evenly last year despite serious issues on defense. And this 'Tide outfit doesn't look unbeatable. In fact, they should have lost at Florida. This line doesn't look right. Live 'DOG ALERT.

 

 No. 6 Oklahoma @ Kansas St. (+10.5) - 3:30 p.m., FOX

 The Wildcats, despite coming off a loss, have been pretty $olid as a home underdog under Chris Klieman and now roll out the welcome mat for a Sooners squad unable to get their offense on full. 

  

 No. 3 Oregon (-8.5) @ Stanford - 3:30 p.m., ABC

 The Ducks, only a single-digit road favorite vs. an irregular conference opponent, are still going about their business as quite a bargain. Take advantage of the market, most of which is consumed with the SEC and Notre Dame, and not up on the Pac-12, while you can. $$

 Minnesota @ Purdue - U47.5 - Noon, BTN

 The Gophers just cooked a spoiled egg vs. Bowling Green as 31-point home favs, and apparently are convinced running the ball over and over again is great strategy. Even in 2021. Meanwhile, Purdue, dealing with a number of injuries on offense, likely will not have an easier route to the end zone.
