College Football Action Heats Up in Week Five

Michigan is looking to continue their winning ways as they host Minnesota on Saturday. The Wolverines are laying 10 points and the total is set at 35.5. Michigan's quarterback, Alex Orgeron, had a solid game last week against USC, leading the ground attack and managing the game effectively. The Golden Gophers' defense is susceptible to the run, allowing 3.8 yards per carry, making Michigan's offense a strong bet. On the other side, Minnesota's offense has shown improvement, with quarterback Max Brosmer bringing a new dimension to the team. Look for Michigan to score enough to push the total over 35.5.

In another matchup, NC State hosts Northern Illinois on Saturday. The Wolfpack are favored by 7.5 points and the total is set at 46. NC State has struggled against good teams, but against inferior competition, they've had a tendency to let them hang around. Northern Illinois is looking for a bounce-back win after a tough loss to Buffalo, and with Grayson McCall questionable for the game, they may be able to capitalize on NC State's struggles.

Wake Forest is looking to bounce back from a tough loss as they host Louisiana on Saturday. The Demon Deacons are laying 3.5 points and the total is set at 60. Wake Forest has struggled on defense, ranking 126th in total defense, and Louisiana's offense has shown improvement, scoring at least 33 points in each of their first three games. Look for Louisiana to keep the pressure on Wake Forest's struggling defense.

Notre Dame is looking to continue their winning ways as they host Louisville on Saturday. The Fighting Irish are favored by 7 points and the total is set at 45.5. Notre Dame has struggled on offense, ranking just outside the top 50 in total offense, and Louisville's defense has shown improvement, holding Georgia Tech in check last week. Look for Louisville to keep the game close, making the over a good bet.

In the final matchup, Auburn hosts Oklahoma on Saturday. The Tigers are laying 2.5 points and the total is set at 45. Auburn has struggled with consistency, but Oklahoma has been plagued by quarterback issues. Look for Auburn's defense to shut down Oklahoma's offense, making the under a good bet.
