Predicitons for Week 5 (Oct. 2)

Time for the weekly slate of precidictions and man do we have some good one's this weekend

Last Week: 5-1, Perfect week with the exception of the upset pick of Temple at Penn State, which I must add was very close (Temple led at halftime)

Overall: 12-6, steadily imporving and not too bad for picking some of the major games every week

Texas A&M at Oklahoma State

Dime:  Both teams are 4-0, despite being unranked.  Neither team has really played anybody and both teams are much improved from last year.  I expect the home crowd on a Thursday night to be the difference in this one as Kendall Hunter runs wild on a soft Aggie D.

Cowboys  40   Texas A&M  35

No. 16 Miami at Clemson

Dime:  Clemson has a lot to prove in this game as they are looking to grab hold of thr ACC race at Death Valley.  I'm up in the air on this one as I still don't know if I can trust Jacory Harris quite yet.  I'll take the Canes, but by the most miniscule amoutn possible.

Canes   24     Clemson 23

No. 21 Texas at No. 8 Oklahoma

Dime:  Look for the Longhorns to rebound following the embarrasment that was UCLA.  Oklahoma has been shaky all year with the exception of FSU and I don't see them coming into the game with aa much to prove as Texas.  The Texas D wins this one.

Longhorns 23   Sooners  20

Upset of the Week

No. 11 Wisconsin at No. 24 Michigan State

Dime:  As usual, I look for a game where I think a team looks vulnerable.  This is it this week.  East Lansing is an underrated home advantage and I expect Sparty to be emotionally charged for this one, as Mark Dantonio will be in the coaching booth.  I like Michigan State in another close one.

Sparty  28   Badgers   27

No. 7 Florida at No. 1 Alabama

Dime:  Bama showed its moxi last weekend at Fayetteville and return home to face another test in the Gators.  I like the Crimson Tides line to take hold of this game on both sides of the ball, once again methodically wearing down the speedy Gators.  It'll be close, but gota' roll with the tide in this one.

Alabama 27   Florida 19

No. 9 Stanford at No. 4 Oregon

Dime:  The Autzen Zoo will be absolutely nuts with Gameday coming to town.  This will make a huge difference in the game and cause Andrew Luck to make one mistake too many.  The Ducks video game-like offense will put up points in bunches, just not the usual 60 they are averaging.

Ducks   38     Cardinal   28
