Each week, to coincide with the release of the “Group of Five Deep Dive” under the Big Bets On Campus podcast banner, I'll be sharing my Group of Five parlay of the week.
Here's a quick recap of how Week 5 played out for our wagers.
Tulane came through in the clutch in its upset win over Houston, and depending on the number you got in Georgia Southern-Coastal Carolina, CJ Beasley's insane last-minute hurdle either pushed the total or helped cash an over. The Eagles and Chants combined for 33 fourth-quarter points in a high-scoring game that screamed “Fun Belt.”
But it wasn't all sunshine and dramatic wins at the window for this column. Kent State failed to cover -11, shooting itself in the foot with six fumbles. It also stalled out in the red zone twice against Ohio, taking sacks, penalties and putting the ball on the carpet.
