College football Week 5 spreads and totals are already out. Here are the biggest storylines ahead of the slate.
Georgia Laying Big Number Versus Red-Hot Arkansas
Oddsmakers aren’t fazed by Arkansas’ hot start, giving Woo Pig an 18-point head start for Saturday’s high-profile matchup against second-ranked Georgia.
The Razorbacks have been one of the best bets in the SEC lately, ripping off 13 covers in the last 16 tries.
Bettors Hit Houston Early
Tulsa opened -4 but was almost immediately bet down to -3.5, then -3.
Houston’s only covered one of the last five dating back to last season. But the program’s been OK in the bounce-back role, going 13-5 against the number the last 18 after failing to cover.

The Seminoles are 1-5 against the spread the last six against conference opponents, 3-8 the previous 11 at home and 4-12 the last 16 overall.
Yikes.
