After losing 13.6 units in Week 4, Week 5 was much better, finishing up more than 8 units. I'm on a quest to win 100 units before the end of the season, so I've got to get my act together ASAP.
Week 4 was a good one, but it could have been better if Georgia hadn't blown a nearly sure thing when it fumbled late against Colorado, costing the Bulldogs the game. That would've been a five-unit swing in our direction. Likewise, Texas Tech was never really in the game against Iowa State, but if it had won, it would have been a HUGE week for us.
This week, the teams I'm using in all of my parlays are: Oklahoma State, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Missouri, Virginia Tech and Air Force. Okie State is on the road at Louisiana-Lafayette, but coming off a bye week. Wisconsin has Minnesota at home, West Virginia is coming off the bye to play UNLV, Missouri is at home against Colorado, Virginia Tech hosts Central Michigan and Air Force is home against Colorado State.
Mizzou is the key to this week. At -440, it's by far my riskiest play. But I like the Tigers, coming off a bye week, entering the game 4-0, and playing at home. Meanwhile, Colorado (3-1) is on the road coming off a hugely emotional win over Georgia. Plus, Colorado's secondary is beat up: it's two starters out for the game, and another one (Sandersfeld) questionable. I really like Mizzou in this spot.
Week 5:
1. Missouri -440 ML + Oklahoma State -2200 ML + Wisconsin -1600 ML + West Virginia -4000 ML + Virginia Tech -1800 ML + Air Force -2900 ML -- 19.02u to win 10u
2. Georgia Tech -375 ML + those six -- 1.5u to win 1.4u
3. Georgia -440 ML + those six -- 1.5u to win 1.31u
4. Florida International -370 ML + those six -- 1.49u to win 1.4u
5. NC State -360 ML + those six -- 1.47u to win 1.4u
6. Michigan State +170 ML + those six -- 1.28u to win 4u
7. Wake Forest +150 ML + those six -- 1.24u to win 3.5u
Only seven picks this week, and a couple of them (Michigan State and Wake Forest) are a bit risky. But I like the odds I'm getting on them, and I obviously love the rest of the card. Good luck this week.
Total risk: 27.51u to win 23.01u
