Hard Locks College Football: Week 5 2023
Hard Locks is back in your life! Each week, Alex Chick (AKA: Chickster) and I take a look at the ten ESPN College Pick ‘Em games choose the games on the spread, and keep a record to see who is the better bettor. After four weeks, I am currently three games up on Alex, but could this be the week that he starts to make up some ground? Let’s take a look at the ten games on tap this week:
- No. 8 USC (-23.5) at Colorado (12 p.m. ET, FOX)
- No. 1 Georgia (16.5) at Auburn (3:30 p.m. ET, CBS)
- No. 2 Michigan (-17.5) at Nebraska (3:30 p.m. ET, FOX)
- No. 24 Kansas at No. 3 Texas (-17.5) (3:30 p.m. ET, ABC)
- No. 9 Oregon (-26.5) at Stanford (6:30 p.m. ET, PAC12 Network)
- Iowa State at No. 14 Oklahoma (-20.5) (7:00 p.m. ET, FS1)
- No. 11 Notre Dame (-5.5) at No. 17 Duke (7:30 p.m. ET, ABC)
- No. 12 Alabama (-14.5) at Mississippi State (9:00 p.m. ET, ESPN)
- No. 7 Washington (-17.5) at Arizona (10:00 p.m. ET, PAC12 Network)
- Nevada at No. 25 Fresno State (-24.5) (10:30 p.m. ET, FS1)
There are going to be some close covers this week in our Hard Locks picks. My free money game of the week has to be Washington over Arizona. Michael Penis … I mean Michael Penix, is going to throw it around the yard with no issues. I would consider buying points. Another game I really love this week would be Michigan over Nebraska. Alex and I have bet against Michigan twice this season, but with the spread being this thin I believe it should not be an issue for the Wolverines.
Tail or fade at your own risk, and we will see you next week!
