2017 College Football Picks vs The Spread - Week 5

Still 6 games above .500. The picks rallied late last week after staring 0-4.

1. Vanderbilt (+9) at (21) Florida - Not sold on the Gators after escaping Kentucky and the Commodores are better than what they showed against Alabama last week.

Vanderbilt 24, Florida 27
Actual Score: Vanderbilt 24, Florida 38



2. (7) Georgia (-9.5) at Tennessee - Georgia is starting to look like the team that has been expected the past 5 years. Tennessee isn't all that.

3. Northern Illinois at (19) San Diego Aztecs (-9.5) - San Diego State is the better team and Northern Illinois is travelling half way across the country.

10. (11) Ohio State (-28.5) at Rutgers - Ohio State is not the juggernaaut that everybody thought at the beginning of the season. But Rutgers isn't any good at all.
