2024 college football picks, Week 5 odds, lines, bets from proven expert: This 3-leg parlay returns 6-1

The Texas Longhorns are the No. 1 team in the country after four games but head coach Steve Sarkisian knows that his toughest battles lie ahead as they close out the season with eight consecutive SEC matchups. Texas will make its SEC debut on Saturday at home against Mississippi State, giving the Longhorns a chance to ease into arguably the toughest league in the nation with the Bulldogs coming off three losses. The latest Week 5 college football odds list Texas as 38.5-point favorites and the Longhorns are a perfect 4-0 against the spread this season.

Is that a college football trend you can expect to continue on Saturday, and what other Week 5 college football lines should you be targeting as you put together your CFB parlays?

Top Week 5 college football expert predictions

One of Casale’s top Week 5 college football picks: He is backing Georgia to win on the money line against Alabama for a -128 payout. The Bulldogs are only a year removed from back-to-back national championships but it’s been Alabama that has dominated this rivalry of late, winning eight of nine with Georgia’s only head-to-head win coming in the 2022 SEC Championship Game.

However, this is a new era of Alabama football with Nick Saban retiring and Kalen DeBoer taking over the program after leading Washington to the national championship game last season. Both teams are unbeaten but Georgia has the highest-quality win (over Clemson in Atlanta) and it escaped a potential trap game to open SEC play against Kentucky two weeks ago. Both teams are coming off a bye week so expect both defenses to be well-prepped, and a defensive battle is one that Georgia is better equipped to win. See what other picks Casale likes at SportsLine
