Colorado vs Florida State Predictions Week 5: Buffaloes (3-0) now after a 17-14 upset win over West Virginia.  Cody Hawkins came out firing the football, throwing touchdown passes to Josh Smith and Patrick Devenny in the first 4:50, the fastest pair for Colorado to start a game in nearly seven years.  RB Rodney Stewart had 28 carries for 166 yards.  Josh Smith had 5 receptions for 75 yards and 1 TD.  The oddsmakers at Bookmaker.com currently have Florida State 5.5 favorites to Colorado heading into this matchup.

CU has looked strong in its three games, everyone seems to be overlooking that they beat WVU last week.

Stewart will be tested this week with FSU defense, I don't think he will get over 100 yards this week.  The Buffaloes could have done better against WV but they still fought till the end.  Colorado just capitalized on WVU mistakes last week, and they have to get some turnovers in this one.

The Seminoles (2-1) lost their first game last week to Wake Forest, 12-3.  They used two QB's last week and both of them could not get the job done.  D'Vontrey Richardson was 6/18 for 66 yards and 2 INT's and Christian Ponder was also 6/18 for 52 yards and 3 INT's.  FSU has no QB, no RB, and no OL.  They have a great defense that will keep them in the games.  In the home loss last week to Wake (FSU had 7 giveaways and 139 yards in penalties!).  They played great the first two games but those teams were high school varsity teams, Western Carolina and Chattanooga.  The OVER/UNDER for this Colorado vs Florida State Predictions Week 5 has combined total of 40 points.

Predictions Week 5: Colorado's Defense is not on the same level as Wake's Defense. They had 9 returning starters.  That means FSU should put up some points this week, will it be enough to get the job done?   FSU had too much pressure to win last weekend that it worked against them.  FSU will correct the mistakes and try to pull of win against red hot Colorado.  CU will jump into the top 25 with a win here because schools in the top 25 will lose, especially since many of them will be playing legit teams finally.
