The early lines and odds are out for Week 5 of the college football season. What are the early values?
Pete Fiutak @PeteFiutak
It’s a blah week of games coming up, but that’s not why you called.
Akron vs. UMass is just as investable as Virginia vs. Notre Dame.
Before diving into the research for all the game previews and predictions, without looking at what the real ones are, I take a first guess at what the early lines and odds will be for Week 5 of the 2019 college football season. The real ones then get put in to see how far from the pin I am.
Get all lines this week at and bet on all the games at BetMGM …
