Week 5 Picks

After starting 2-3 im looking to rebound after a week of major over sights. So here we go.

Washington at Notre Dame
The Huskies have been good so far. Though some would argue that maybe Notre dame is in store for a breakout year, I see otherwise. And it starts here. The Huskies already beat USC, and Notre Dame is still unproven even with one of the easiest schedules around. Jake Lockear will lead this team, to a week 5 upset of the Fighting Irish and get his name into the Heisman or at least Davey O' Brian conversation. My prediction: Washington wins by 6 points.

USC at Cal
Oh wow what a game. With potential Pac 10 champion implications this should be the game of the week. Two extremely good running attacks, inexperienced defenses, and quarterbacks who can be hit and miss. Look for this game to get into the 30's and come down to the end. My prediction: Usc wins by 7 points.

Oklahoma at Miami (FL)
So many questions in this game it might feel like a mid term just to watch it. Jacory Harris? Can he pass against better defenses? Will Sam Bradford be back? Can Miami's running game step up? Its gonna be a good one in South Florida, lets just hope the weather is nice, or Miami will get beat again. My prediction: Miami wins by 7.

Auburn at Tennessee
My friend Kyle aka Kip has a unique opportunity to see this game upclose. I too may get tht same chance. Trying to be unbiased is hard considering the extreme respect I have for the Auburn program. Though the Vols have homefield and are starting to mesh as a team the Tigers are already one step ahead. If the Auburn offense can put up 20 points, (They are averaging over 40 a game so far) then they should be able to win this one. My prediction: Auburn wins by 6.

LSU at Georgia.
Running game vs running game. Power D vs Fast D. Very simple the team with the better run game will wi this one. Bad QB's and polar oppposite D's should make this fun to watch if you are an LSU fan. My prediction: LSU wins by 11 points.
