NCAA Football Odds: Over/Under Picks for Week 5

NCAA Football Odds: Over/Under Picks for Week 5

Written by on September 27, 2023

The last year of the Pac-12 as a conference has seen a resurgence in the league that, frankly, might have helped if it had taken place in 2021 or 2022, when the conference still had a shot at a lucrative TV deal. Right now, the best offense out west belongs to the Washington Huskies, who have raced out to a 4-0 record – with four routs. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr has thrown for 1,636 yards and 15 touchdown passes in just four games, and he’s on pace to exceed his 2022 numbers (4,641 yards, 31 TD). The USC Trojans are also 4-0, and they also have an elite quarterback in Caleb Williams, last year’s Heisman Trophy winner. He has thrown three or more touchdown passes in each game, including five against Arizona State down in the desert. He also has yet to throw an interception. Don’t miss the NCAA Football Odds and O/U Picks that should help fill your wagering account.

 

NCAA Football Odds and O/U Picks for Week 5: Speaking of high point totals, let’s look at some college football betting picks that concern the point total going into Week 5 | Bet College Football Betting Lines in Xbet Sportsbook

 
Week 5 NCAAF Lines
Cincinnati Bearcats (-2) at BYU Cougars (O/U 48)
#8 USC Trojans (-21.5) at Colorado Buffaloes (O/U 74)
#9 Oregon Ducks (-27) at Stanford Cardinal (O/U 61)
 

Cincinnati Bearcats at BYU Cougars

When: Friday, September 29, 2023, 10:15 pm ET
Where: LaVell Edwards Stadium, Provo, UT
TV/Live Stream: ESPN

It’s hard to tell why Cincinnati is a road favorite here after losing at home to Miami (Ohio) in overtime and only managing six points against the Oklahoma Sooners last week, a team not known for defense, in their Big 12 opener. BYU picked up an impressive 38-31 win at Arkansas two weeks ago, although losing at Kansas last week was a bit of a stumble. Cincinnati’s defense has been solid (except for during the Miami loss) but the offense has been inconsistent. Even though the Bearcats ran for 141 points against the Sooners, they were only able to score six points. I think both teams will let loose on offense here, so take the over.

#8 USC Trojans at Colorado Buffaloes

When: Saturday, September 30, 2023, 12:00 pm ET
Where: Folsom Field, Boulder, CO
TV/Live Stream: FOX

USC has stacked up the points this season, with 122 points in two non-conference wins over San Jose State and Nevada, and 98 points in their first two Pac-12 games, wins over Stanford at home and Arizona State on the road. Colorado has permitted 135 points in four games this season – and that includes limiting Nebraska to 14 points in Week 2. I am not sure that USC can beat Colorado by more than three touchdowns, because I don’t think the Trojans’ defense is as good as what Oregon brought last week, and I think Colorado will approach this game with more humility and less hype. I do think this point total might approach 90 as both teams zip up and down the field. Take the over.

#9 Oregon Ducks at Stanford Cardinal

When: Saturday, September 30, 2023, 6:30 pm ET
Where: Stanford Stadium, Stanford, CA
TV/Live Stream: PAC12 Network

Stanford’s star has certainly fallen in the Pac-12 – four-touchdown underdogs at home in a conference game. This point total is interesting if you look at the Oregon-Colorado score from a week ago: Ducks 42, Buffaloes 6. The Cardinal gave up 56 points against USC – and 30 points at home against Sacramento State. If this point total is going to go over, then the Ducks will basically have to do all of the scoring, although that seems possible – the USC point total ended up being 66. Oregon is putting together a CFP resume and needs another blowout to keep climbing up near the top four. Take the over.
