The card looks tricky this week so let\u2019s just try to avoid any landmines. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Record: 12-2 (+8.15 units)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Navy Midshipmen @ Wake Forest Demon Deacons (-900)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, Wake Forest doesn\u2019t always dominate as a big favorite but this is one case where we will trust them. The Demon Deacons are off a big win against Florida State and back at home against the feeble Midshipmen, there is plenty of potential for a letdown situation.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Jim Grobe\u2019s crew seems to always play to the level of their competition but this year they appear to have a superior team \u2013 particularly their defense. Navy is a very weak team and unless they play perfect, they won\u2019t be pulling the upset.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><strong>Free Pick:\u00a0Wake Forest -900<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.betus.com\/ats\/11892\/sportsbook\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>BetUS Sportsbook<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/a>Join the leaders in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.betus.com\/ats\/11892\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">online betting<\/a> at BetUS.com sportsbook offering most attractive bonuses for sports bettors. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.betus.com\/ats\/11892\/join\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Join<\/a> BetUS.com today and start betting!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>South Florida Bulls @ North Carolina State Wolfpack (+330)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">NC State pulled an impressive upset last week as they upended East Carolina\u2019s Cinderella season but can they make it two in a row?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">The Wolfpack are a young team that has dealt with a ton of adversity to start the season. The good news is that they seemed to have turned a corner in last week\u2019s win against the Pirates and should be ready to give South Florida a very stiff test.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">The offensive backfield appears to be set as Russell Wilson is slowly emerging as a reliable playmaker for the Wolfpack. Look for them to play the Bulls very tight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Free Pick:\u00a0NC State +330<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Marshall Thundering Herd @ West Virginia Mountaineers (-700)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">West Virginia, a supposed BCS contender, is now only 1-2 and is reeling. It\u2019s quite clear that they miss their head coach, Rich Rodriguez.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">The Mountaineers were clearly overrated as a championship contender but they are still a pretty good team. They\u2019ve lost to the East Carolina Pirates and the Colorado Buffalos in each of the past two weeks but there isn\u2019t a ton of shame in that. But losing to Marshall is another story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">\u00a0<\/span><strong>Free Pick:\u00a0West Virginia -700<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Colorado Buffaloes (+190) @ Florida State Seminoles<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">After watching the Florida State Seminoles play last week, it\u2019s hard to have much faith in them. Their defense is fairly steady but their offense is firing blanks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Colorado looks like a team that might be slowly rising and with a solid quarterback, they are capable of winning this game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">In the grand scheme of things, the way that the ACC is right now, a mid-tier Big 12 team might be as good as the ACC\u2019s best programs. Colorado should be confident after upsetting West Virginia last week and heading to Bobby Bowden Field isn\u2019t as daunting as it used to be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<strong>Free Pick:\u00a0Colorado +190<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.betus.com\/ats\/11892\/mid\/1400\/default.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>College football week 5 football straight up selections from the best sports handicappers in the world at CappersPicks.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[279,2604,287,1565,470,475,545,1768,66500,778,1002,1027,1028,1767,2364,2602,2603],"class_list":["post-1946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gambling","tag-cfb","tag-cfb-money-lines","tag-cfb-picks","tag-college-football-handicapping","tag-free-pick","tag-free-play","tag-handicappers","tag-moneyline-betting","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaaf","tag-plays","tag-prediction","tag-predictions","tag-straight-up-picks","tag-week-5","tag-week-5-college-football-games","tag-week-5-moneylines"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/68"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1946"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1946\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":106079,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1946\/revisions\/106079"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
