Week 5 is here. 

The early window opens with Alabama at Mississippi State, Alabama -5.5. Two undefeated SEC teams, both ranking in the top 16, both putting up points. Starkville has been loud all year and this is the biggest test yet for the Bulldogs. 

Afternoon settles into a stretch of road favorites. Ohio State at Iowa is Ohio State -14.5. Kinnick in early October always feels heavier than the number. Florida at Missouri is Florida -5.5, another ranked SEC matchup where the home team has something to prove after last week. Kentucky at South Carolina is South Carolina -3.5, the kind of conference game that can quietly decide how the middle of the standings looks by November.

Late window brings Miami at Clemson, Miami -17. The Hurricanes are rolling and looking to make a statement on the road in the ACC.

Five games, mostly favorites on the road, and plenty of opportunities for the home crowds to make life difficult. Don’t blink. It’ll be November. Drop your favorite Saturday bet in the comments. 🏈
