Week 5 Predictions (2009)
Didn't have that great a week of picks for Week 4...but the games were entertaining. How 'bout that Ole Miss/South Carolina game to kick off the week? And how about the Texas Tech/Houston ball game to close the week? Sure, there were some let downs like the Miami/VT game.
But I think it is pretty sad how a whole week of games to a backseat to a player getting injured, and yes, I'm talking about Tim Tebow.
But anyway, we got another slate of games to pick from, and let's see if I can pick em better.
But this week's Report is going to be a little shorter than usual. I'm feeling a little under the weather this week, and I'm really having trouble finding the initiative.
I apologize to my readers, and promise a better Report for Week 6.
ACC Game of the Week
8 Oklahoma (2-1, 0-0) vs 17 Miami (FL) (2-1, 2-1)
Prediction
Miami didn't look good at all last week against VT. The 'Canes looked slow, and really appeared to be the 'Canes of last year. If that team shows up, this will be a short game.
The key for Oklahoma is QB Sam Bradford. If he is back, this game is over by half-time. If he is out, expect an old-fashioned ball game with the Sooners running it.
I just think last week, VT showed holes in the Canes, and I think Oklahoma exploits them again.
Miami 14
Oklahoma 27
SEC Game of the Week
18 Georgia (3-1, 2-0) vs 4 LSU (4-0, 2-0)
Prediction
Georgia is coming off a big win over Arizona State, where WR AJ Green finally looked like the All-American freshman we saw last year. They will have a much tougher challenge this week with the Tigers.
LSU is coming off a close win over Miss. State (yep, Dan Mullen's Bulldogs looked good). This isn't the caliber of player that was on the National title team a few years ago, but they are still rough and tough. The Tigers need QB Jordan Jefferson to play better, and they need their defense to step up this week. The only question for the Tigers is, are they overlooking the Dawgs for a possible shot at a Tim Tebow-less Florida Gators squad?
