Jeff Brohm and the Louisville Cardinals are a perfect 3-0 and they’re ranked No. 15 in the country heading into a matchup with No. 16 Notre Dame on the road on Saturday. The Cardinals are also one of 13 teams who are perfect against the spread this season, so can bettors continue to rely on Louisville in their Week 5 college football parlays? The latest Week 5 college football odds via SportsLine consensus list the Fighting Irish as 6.5-point home favorites but Notre Dame already has a massive letdown in South Bend on its resume after losing to NIU earlier this season.

Top Week 5 college football expert predictions
One of Casale’s top Week 5 college football picks: He is backing Georgia on the money line against Alabama for a -119 payout. Both teams are ranked inside the top five, are a perfect 3-0 and are coming off a bye week after wins over power conference opponents. The College Football Playoff and SEC title implications are clear in this one and you can expect Kirby Smart to give Georgia the advantage here with Kalen DeBoer in his first season at Alabama.
“This line is a product of recency bias. The spread over the summer was Georgia -4.5. Alabama is coming off a rout of Wisconsin and Georgia barely got by Kentucky. I’m not putting too much stock in those results though,” Casale told SportsLine. “Wisconsin is a bad football team that lost its starting QB early in the game, and UGA can sometimes play down to its competition.” See what other picks Casale likes at SportsLine.
How to make Week 5 college football picks
Casale has also found two other college football picks he loves, including backing a potent offense in a game where “both teams should struggle to get stops.” You can only see his picks at SportsLine.
