AAC Fantasy Picks: Week 5

All 12 teams from the American are in action this weekend with conference play starting to take over the schedule.  Temple has a gimme matchup with Charlotte and tilts between Houston/Tulsa and ECU/SMU promise some high fantasy numbers.

I am 5 for 24 so far this season, which actually increases my percentage correct from last week.  For a refresher on my scoring system, click here.
