NFL narratives change every 7 days like clockwork. Just two weeks ago I was ready to call the Packers the Super Bowl Champions, since then they lost to the Browns and ended a game in a tie with the Cowboys. Are you not entertained?
Favorite Sides: NFL Bets Week 5
The Denver Broncos are one of my favorite teams to back this season, however I feel like I am a year early on them being who I think they can be. On the other side of this game are the proven juggernauts Philadelphia Eagles. Denver can and will probably keep this game close for 3 quarters. Give me the Eagles having an 8 minute scoring drive in the 4th to go up 2 scores and covering.
The beat up Buccaneers will take on the hot, hot, hot, Seattle Seahawks this weekend. As much as I am trying to steer clear of this game, seeing the Buccs take 3 points is something I cannot pass up. Not sure, call me a kid in a candy store with this one, I have to take something, right?
The last side I will be on this weekend will be the biggest number I lay all year probably. In this league any given Sunday a team can and will be competitive. I am allowing myself to be a square with this one and accept all of the recent bias from what happened last week. I mean, the Bengals looked awful on Monday night. I’m laying it with the Lions.
Philadelphia Eagles -4.5
Tampa Bay Buccaneers +3
Detroit Lions -10.5
Favorite Totals: NFL Bets Week 5
Thursday Night Unders have been good to me this season. Add in a division rivalry where one team is more beat up than a chicken cutlet, I’ll take the bait again. Give me the Under this Thursday Night.
Down in the Crescent City, the New York Football Giants will take on the Saints. Dart, Rattler, a new age in NFL quarterbacks is here; too much? Sorry. This number is just too low for me not to bet the Over. Dart showed last week he can take care of the ball by scrambling and not forcing throws down field. Also, my gut tells me Rattler has the best game of his life and throws for 3+ touchdowns. Even typing that felt wrong, give me the Over.
The Colts are back home this weekend, and ready to take out some frustrations of losing a game their fans think they should of won. Add Geno in a dome into that pitcher of Iced Tea, delicious recipe for an Over to occur. Offense galore in Indianapolis.
San Francisco 49ers at Los Angeles Rams UNDER 46
New York Giants at New Orleans Saints OVER 41.5
Las Vegas Raiders at Indianapolis Colts OVER 47.5
