Review of "Picks: Week 5"
Friday, September 26 8:00 PM ET ESPN2
Connecticut (4-0, 0-0) @ Louisville (2-1, 0-0) -3.5: UL 23 UConn 17, Cover Confidence 10.
Final Result: UConn 26- UL 21. Loss. While UL gained over 500 yards on offense, they could not capitalize and make costly mistakes. UConn is an opportunistic team and that showed on Friday Night. 0-1.
Saturday, September 27
12:00 PM ET BTN. Minnesota (4-0, 0-0) @ #14 Ohio State (3-1, 0-0) -17.5: OSU 35 Minnesota 10, Cover Confidence 2.
Final Result: OSU 34- Minnesota 21. Backdoor!!! OSU could not stop a 4th and 12 and gave up the backdoor cover. 0-2. This start es no bueno!
12:00 PM ET ESPN2 North Carolina (2-1, 0-1)@Miami (FL) (2-1, 0-0) -7.5: Miami 27 - UNC 17. Cover Confidence 12.
Final Result: UNC 28- Miami 24. I said this one was going to be tough and it looked as if Miami was going to give UNC a class 5 caning, but they fell apart in the second half. 0-3. Mal, senior.
12:05 PM ET ESPN Classic. Northwestern (4-0, 0-0) @Iowa (3-1, 0-0) -8.0. NU 23 Iowa 21. Cover Confidence 3.
Final Result: NU 22 - Iowa 17. Cover Baby! This was a spot on pick. 1-3.
3:30 PM ET ABC/GP Arkansas (2-1, 0-1) #7 Texas (3-0, 0-0) -27.5: Texas 56 Arkansas 21. Cover Confidence 4.
Final Result: Texas 52 - Arkansas 10. This line is HUGE for a "rivalry game". Having said that: Blowout. That's just about right. Cover #2. 2-3.
3:30 PM ABC/GP #9 Wisconsin (3-0, 0-0) -6.5 Michigan (1-2, 0-0). Wisconsin 14 Michigan 9, Cover Confidence 9.
Final Result: Michigan 27- UW 25. This is nothing like what I expected, but it was f'in great like Frosted Flakes. Cover #3. 3-3
3:30 PM ET CBS Tennessee (1-2, 0-1) #15 Auburn (3-1, 1-1) -6.5. Auburn 16 Tennessee 14, Cover Confidence 8.
Final Result: Auburn 14 - Tennessee 12. Cover #4. Well, was I right or was I right? 4-3.

3:30 PM ET NBC Purdue (2-1, 0-0) @Notre Dame (2-1) -1.5:PU 30, ND 14. Confidence 1. LOCK IT.
Final Result: ND 38 - Purdump 21. As Matt said "Football is back on the menu boys!". Notre Dame had a huge program-changing turnaround in the second half and dominated the Boilers. 4-5 (but this is where is gets good).
7:00 PM ET FSN #24 TCU (4-0, 1-0) @ #2 Oklahoma (3-0, 0-0) -17.5: Oklahoma 48 TCU 13. Cover Confidence 6.
Final Result: OU 35 - TCU 10. Cover #5. I was pretty much spot-on on this pick considering that OU took the second half off to watch the Christians clean the lion cages. Note to self: Lock OU. 5-5
7:45 PM ET ESPN #8 Alabama (4-0, 1-0) @ #3 Georgia (4-0, 1-0) -7. UGa 25 Bama 23. Cover Confidence 7.
Final Result: Bama 41 - Georgia 30. Wow, 31-0 at half. Georgia made it interesting in the second half, but too little too late. Cover #6. 6-5
8:00 PM ET ABC/GP #22 Illinois (2-1, 0-0) @ #12 Penn State (4-0, 0-0) -14.5: PSU 38 - ILL 30. Cover Confidence 13.
Final Result: PSU 38 - Illini 24. I love the hook! Cover #7. 7-5.
8:00 PM ET ABC/GP Virginia Tech (3-1, 2-0) @Nebraska (3-0, 0-0) -7: Nebraska 22, VT 21. Cover Confidence 11.
Final Result: VT 35 - Nebraska 30. The black shirts are not back. VT is a pretty poor offensive team. Mizzou visits Nebraska next week. Take the over. Cover #8. 8-5.
Connecticut (4-0, 0-0) @ Louisville (2-1, 0-0) -3.5: UL 23 UConn 17, Cover Confidence 10.
Final Result: UConn 26- UL 21. Loss. While UL gained over 500 yards on offense, they could not capitalize and make costly mistakes. UConn is an opportunistic team and that showed on Friday Night. 0-1.
