When it comes to college football, there are few who deserve the "expert" tag quite like Barrett Sallee. The CBS Sports writer and analyst hosts shows on SiriusXM College, writes for CBSSports.com and appears regularly on CBS Sports HQ as well as countless radio shows across the nation as a guest.
Sallee debuted with SportsLine in 2017 and has delivered in a BIG way. Over the past two-plus years, he is 87-62 in his popular best bets column. Anybody who has been following him is WAY UP.
Now, he's turned his attention to the Week 5 odds from Caesars Sportsbook (see the latest college football lines for each game this week on our college football odds page) and is revealing his three top plays for Saturday. A parlay on these three picks would return around 6-1.
We can tell you Sallee is backing Texas A&M (-7) against Mississippi State in a 7 p.m. ET kickoff in College Station on Saturday.
"Texas A&M's offense has been a disaster this season. Its defense, however, has not. It had a relatively bad day against Arkansas last week, but still ranks fourth nationally in pass defense (119.5 ypg). That's all the Bulldogs do, so the Aggies won't have to worry about defending the running game like they did last weekend against the Razorbacks. This game will get sideways really quickly."
Sallee has also found two other college football picks he loves, including a must-see play on a favorite he says "still isn't getting the respect it deserves!" You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any college football picks.
