Twenty and a half points is a number that usually scares a bettor off, but SMU is laying that many at home against Boston College on Saturday, October 3 at 9:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET in Dallas, TX, and the guys laid it without much hesitation. Hear why on the College Football Picks Week 5 episode.

Our Picks
- Ryan Kramer (@KramerCentric): SMU -20.5
- Sean Green (@SeanTGreen): SMU -20.5
- Colby Dant (@thecolbyd): SMU -20.5
Boston College got the best possible setup at home, a game buried in weather that neutralized both offenses, and still lost. The guys weren’t willing to trust that on the road against an SMU team that beat the Eagles 45-13 a year ago and is sitting at 14-2 in conference play.
Colby knows Boston College is coming off an easy cover against a Virginia Tech team that looked lackluster, and he laid the 20.5 anyway. The guys agreed Boston College doesn’t have the athletes to hang with SMU on the road, number or no number.
One of the guys pointed out SMU is just 1-3 against the spread this season and argued a spot this lopsided is exactly when that changes.
