Last week's picks went 5-0! Let's keep that momentum heading into this weekend's top five picks!
Favorite 5 Weekend Picks
NCAAF: Oklahoma State vs. Kansas State: Oklahoma State +5 (-110) (Bet $110 to collect $210)
Saturday, September 28, 12:00 PM ET
We faded Oklahoma State for Utah last week. But now we're back on Oklahoma State with a road matchup against Kansas State.
While Oklahoma State took a beating through three quarters, they showed a fight in the 4th against the Utes. Kansas State dropped just nine points in a devastating 38-9 as a top-25 ranked team against BYU.
The Oklahoma State Cowboys have the better secondary and even run defense and a much better offense behind senior quarterback Alan Bowman and top-five running back Ollie Gordon.
Give me the Cowboys at +5.
NCAAF: Illinois vs. Penn State: Illinois +18 (-110) (Bet $110 to collect $210)
Saturday, September 28, 7:30 PM ET
I won't guarantee Illinois a win against Penn State, but I absolutely believe they'll keep this game close.
The Illinois Fighting Illini are 4-0 with impressive wins at home against Kansas and on the road against Nebraska. Luke Altmyer has thrown 10 touchdowns in four games and looked very comfortable on the road in that win against Nebraska.
Meanwhile, Penn State has missed more tackles and probably hasn't been nearly as good in the run block compared to Illinois, either.
At home, you'd expect Penn State to win. But probably not by three scores.
NFL: Philadelphia Eagles vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Buccaneers +2 (-110) (Bet $110 to collect $210)
Sunday, September 29, 1:00 PM ET
The Buccaneers last met the Eagles in last year's NFL Wild Card round. The Buccaneers took care of business with a double-digit win at home.
This isn't the playoffs. Instead, it's Week 5. But the Buccaneers look much better on paper, again at home.
Philadelphia isn't even sure if they'll have A.J. Brown or Devonta Smith. Britain Covey was just played on the IR, and Landon Dickerson and Mekhi Becton are also questionable.
Additionally, Jalen Hurts has already thrown four interceptions, and if he's without his three favorite receivers, it could get ugly pretty fast.
NFL: Washington Commanders vs. Arizona Cardinals: Over 50.5 (-115) (Bet $115 to collect $215)
Sunday, September 29, 4:05 PM ET
Get used to taking Overs in Washington Commanders games now. After last week's win against the Bengals, the offense has improved drastically, but the defense still absolutely stinks.
Arizona added 41 points in an earlier home game against the Rams. An offense explosion like that isn't out of the question against this pitiful Washington defense. However, Jayden Daniels and the Commanders' offense will likely build off last week and score at will as well.
NFL: Cleveland Browns vs. Las Vegas Raiders: Raiders -2 (-110) (Bet $110 to collect $210)
Sunday, September 29, 4:25 PM ET
The Cleveland Browns took a 7-0 lead and then allowed 21 unanswered points to the New York Giants at home in Week 3.
The offense proceeded to get sacked eight times. They also turned the ball over multiple times.
On the other hand, the Raiders aren't perfect, either. They've got guys giving up before the game is finished. That said, Antonio Pierce addressed that with his team. It's unclear if the Browns have faced the mirror like the Raiders.
I'm grabbing the Raiders at -2.
