Feeling Lucky – Patriots 1-13 points @ $2.18
Philadelphia Eagles @ Detroit Lions
The surprising Eagles will look to continue their winning start to the season when they travel to Detroit to face a Lions team that has hit the wall quickly. After winning in Week 1, the Lions have dropped 3 straight games by less than 7 points and must return to the winners list if they are to make it back to the playoffs this season.
Line Bet – Eagles -3.0
Best Bet – Total points over 46.0 points @ $1.90
Feeling Lucky – Lions +3.0 @ $1.91
Chicago Bears @ Indianapolis Colts
The injury ravaged Bears will look to make it back to back wins when the travel to face a Colts team returning from a trip to London in Week 4. The Colts have a star quarterback in Andrew Luck and the Bears a journeyman in Brian Hoyer, but neither side has a clear advantage at this position.
Line Bet – Bears +4.5
Best Bet – Bears at the line +4.5 @ $1.96
Feeling lucky – Bears H2H @ $2.92
Tennessee Titans @ Miami Dolphins
The Titans and Dolphins enter this Week 5 game at 1-3 and the loser of this game will face a monumental climb back into playoff contention. The Titans average the fewest points in the league while the Dolphins are not much better, but scored 30 points in winning their only home game thus far.
Line Bet – Titans +3.5
Best bet – Total points under 43.0 points @ $1.90
Feeling Lucky – Titans H2H @ $2.53
Washington Redskins @ Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens lost a cliff-hanger to the Raiders last weekend for their first loss for the season, while the Redskins recorded a crucial victory to barely stay afloat in the NFC East. The Ravens headed into Week 4 with the NFL’s best defence but struggled to contain Oakland.
Line Bet – Ravens -3.5
Best Bet – Ravens H2H @ $1.52
Feeling Lucky – Ravens by 1-13 @ $2.14
Houston Texans @ Minnesota Vikings
The Minnesota Vikings are flying at 4-0 behind arguably the NFL’s best defence. They rank 31st in total offensive yards Sam Bradford is playing safe, consistent football and the Vikings are reaping the benefits. The Texans are 3-1 on the season but face life without star J.J. Watt who makes their defence tick.
Line Bet – Vikings -6.0
Best Bet – Vikings H2H @ $1.34
Feeling Lucky – Vikings by 1-13 @ $2.23
New York Jets @ Pittsburgh Steelers
The New York Jets are staggering early in the season and come to Pittsburgh to tackle a Steelers team that decimated the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4. Everything points to a Steelers win and a Jets offensive struggle; eight of the last 10 meetings between the Jets and Steelers have been won by the home team and the game total has fallen below the market line in six of the Steelers last eight games.
Line Bet – Steelers -7.5
Best Bet – Steelers H2H @ $1.30
Feeling Lucky – Steelers by 7+ @ $1.92
Atlanta Falcons @ Denver Broncos
Atlanta bring their high-powered offence to Denver to tackle the Broncos’ champion-calibre defence, unbeaten in 2016. Julio Jones was just the sixth player in NFL history to tally 300+ offensive yards last weekend, but Denver will welcome him into the lion’s den having recorded five interceptions, three forced fumbles, two touchdowns and a league-high 17 sacks thus far this season.
Line Bet – Broncos -5.5
Best Bet – Broncos to win @ $1.41
Feeling Lucky – Broncos by 6-10 @ $4.00
Cincinnati Bengals @ Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys are invoking dreams of seasons past on the back of a pair of rookies. Quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott have led the Cowboys to three straight wins but will face a tough task against superstar A.J.Green, consistent quarterback Andy Dalton and the Cincinnati Bengals who have covered the spread in nine of their last 10 away games.
Line Bet – Bengals -1.0
Best Bet – Either team by 7 points or less @ $1.53
Feeling Lucky – Either team by 3 points or less @ $3.30
Buffalo Bills @ Los Angeles Rams
The Buffalo Bills head to Los Angeles fresh off doing something an NFL team hadn’t done since 1992 – they kept the New England Patriots scoreless at home. The Rams have won three straight behind, minimising their errors and playing strong defense.
Line Bet – Rams -2.0
Best Bet – Either team by 7 points or less @ $1.67
Feeling Lucky – Rams by 1-6 points @ $4.00
San Diego Chargers @ Oakland Raiders
The Chargers have lost three straight games after leading by ten or more points. That is very tough to do and leading to many questions. The Raiders are allowing a league-worst 460 yards per game, but Derek Carr is leading the offense brilliantly as they sit 3-1 with a chance to push strongly for a wildcard playoff spot.
Line Bet – Raiders -3.5
Best Bet – Raiders H2H @ $1.52
Feeling Lucky – Total points over 50.0 @ $2.02
New York Giants @ Green Bay Packers
The Giants play their second straight prime time road game against a Packers team fresh off their bye. New York were completely smothered against the Vikings, while the Packers were struggling prior to the bye and will look to the big stage to stay in touch with the divisional leading Vikings. Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson and Eddie Lacy should ensure they get the win in this game.
Line Bet -Packers -7.5
Best Bet – Packers H2H @ $1.30
Feeling Lucky – Packers by 7-12 points @ $4.50
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Carolina Panthers
The two most hit quarterbacks face off on Monday Night Football. Despite their athletic prowess, the offensive lines protecting Cam Newton and Jameis Winston have not done their job thus far, and the result is that both teams are staring down the barrel of a 1-4 start with a loss. Four of the Panthers six straight wins against the Buccs have come by a margin of 14 points or more.
