Gather round young lads and lasses, ’tis time to place your bets for the NFL Week 5 betting lines are here! We broke even last week, which is fine as far as I’m concerned, is a win. All things considered, we still came out ahead because of a few nice bets. Let’s continue the positive streak in week 5!
Overall Record Through Week 4:
Sabin: 34-29-1
Jackson: 33-30-1
Griff: 33-30-1
Chick: 33-30-1
Garrett: 31-32-1
Matt: 30-33-1
Washington Commanders (-5.5) vs. Chicago Bears (+5.5)
Commanders: Jackson, Chick, Garrett, Matt, Sabin Bears: Griff
This game is gross. I hate that I even have to make a pick here. Who do the NFL Week 5 betting lines have to have this as the first game of the week? The Bears played a lot better last week, but it was against maybe one of the other three bottom teams in the NFL. Washington has had flashes this season, but this is a hard one to trust. Put your left hand up in prayer for this one and rock with the Commanders.
Buffalo Bills (-5.5) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (+5.5)
Bills: Jackson, Garrett, Chick, Griff, Sabin Jaguars: Matt
The Bills absolutely destroyed my Dolphins last week. My luck they come out this week and lay a stinker against the Promised Prince and the Jags. However, Buffalo should easily win by a touchdown and cover on this one.
Atlanta Falcons (-2) vs. Houston Texans (+2)
Falcons: Matt Texans: Jackson, Chick, Garrett, Griff, Sabin
C.J. Stroud is playing like Rookie of the Year right now. He has quickly adjusted to the NFL game and the Texans actually look pretty decent (I called them this year’s Lions Week 1, remember). They are very much capable of winning this game, even in Atlanta.
Detroit Lions (-9.5) vs. Carolina Panthers (+9.5)
Lions: Everyone
Dan Campbell is once again on the prowl for some kneecaps. The Panthers have had very few hits and big misses this season. There are some bright spots, but this Sunday will not be one. Look away all Carolina fans.
Indianapolis Colts (+1) vs. Tennessee Titans (-1)
Colts: Jackson, Garrett, Matt, Sabin Titans: Chick, Griff
Weird stuff always happens in AFC South games. While my pick doesn’t really match how both of these teams performed last week, the gut still tells me to rock with the Colts at home in this one. It should be a fairly close game and potentially an ugly one.
Miami Dolphins (-10.5) vs. New York Giants (+10.5)
Dolphins: Everyone
The Dolphins get to take out some rage this week on Daniel Jones. The Giants allowed the Seahawks to sack Jones over 10 times last week! Miami’s pass rush hasn’t been super great this season, but please let this be the game it is. Phins win and help me secure another victory for the NFL Week 5 betting lines.
Pittsburgh Steelers (+4) vs. Baltimore Ravens (-4)
Steelers: Matt Ravens: Jackson, Chick, Garrett, Sabin, Griffj
The Steelers are an enigma. I really don’t know what to make of them. The same goes for Baltimore. I really had to think about which way I wanted to go with this game. We’re going to lean into Baltimore but I’m not super confident about it.
New England Patriots (+1) vs. New Orleans Saints (-1)
Patriots: Chick, Matt Saints: Jackson, Garrett, Griff, Sabin
The Patriots are terrible. New Orleans isn’t great but is still better.
Arizona Cardinals (+3) vs. Cincinnati Bengals (-3)
Cardinals: Garrett, Matt Bengals: Jackson, Chick, Griff, Sabin
Who would’ve thought that in Week 5 of the NFL season, the Bengals would only be 3-point favorites over a tanking team? Yet here we are. The Bengals have been so disappointing this season. They are very close to being on my naughty list when it comes to betting.
Los Angeles Rams (+4.5) vs. Philadelphia Eagles (-4.5)
Rams: Jackson, Matt, Garrett Eagles: Chick, Sabin, Griff
This is the DAWG pick of the week. I have no other analysis other than that Philadelphia has struggled some in this young season. Yes, they still won, but I don’t need the Rams to win this game. The cover is possible!
Minnesota Vikings (+4) vs. Kansas City Chiefs (-4)
Chiefs: Everyone
There was part of me that wanted to pick the Vikings with this one. This is a “better safe than sorry” type pick.
Denver Broncos (-1.5) vs. New York Jets (+1.5)
Broncos: Jackson, Garrett, Matt, Griff Jets: Chick, Sabin
Another gross game in our NFL Week 5 betting lines. I’m going to ride with Broncos Country again this week even though they spurned me last week. I just don’t see the Jets winning on the road.
San Francisco 49ers (-3.5) vs. Dallas Cowboys (+3.5)
49ers: Everyone
One of the first real test for both teams. The Cowboys’ secondary has struggled some recently, and I just don’t see how they cover all of San Fran’s weapons. The 49ers might be the best team in football.
Las Vegas Raiders (+1) vs. Green Bay Packers (-1)
Raiders: Jackson, Garrett Packers: Chick, Matt, Sabin, Griff
The Raiders actually played pretty well last week. I know they have not played well in recent years in Vegas, but my gut tells me they win this one and we end with a positive record this week.
