Here are the week 5 picks from the Stanford Steve & The Bear podcast. I always suggest you listen to the full thing yourself to get the full breakdown, lots of opinions on a lot of games, and you know exactly what they feel about the games below.

The following are the unofficial week 5 picks as presented in the Stanford Steve & The Bear podcast, and if you need the specifics you’ll need to listen to the podcast.  These are not their official picks.  Their official picks are found on ESPN Chalk every Thursday morning.
