Continue reading →: Cleveland Browns at San Francisco 49ers: 2019 Week 5 NFL Pick
Cleveland Browns (2-2) at San Francisco 49ers (3-0) The 49ers have gotten off to a very strong start and come out of their bye week at 3-0. They rank 2nd in first down rate differential behind the Patriots at +11.13% and have an average margin of +14.0 points per game.…

Continue reading →: Indianapolis Colts at Kansas City Chiefs: 2019 Week 5 NFL Pick
Indianapolis Colts (2-2) at Kansas City Chiefs (4-0) The Colts lost at home to the Raiders last week, but that wasn’t all that surprising. Not only did the Colts have this huge game in Kansas City looming as a potential distraction, but they also were without some of their best…

Continue reading →: Minnesota Vikings at New York Giants: 2019 Week 5 NFL Pick
Minnesota Vikings (2-2) at New York Giants (2-2) The Giants blew out the hapless Redskins last week 24-3, while the Vikings lost 16-6 to a Bears team that lost it’s starting quarterback to injury in the first half. The Vikings were favored over the Giants by 5 points on the…

Continue reading →: Denver Broncos at Los Angeles Chargers: 2019 Week 5 NFL Pick
Denver Broncos (0-4) at Los Angeles Chargers (2-2) Earlier in the week I was thinking I was going to bet on the Broncos as 6-point underdogs this week in Los Angeles against the Chargers, but then the news broke that the Broncos will be without edge defender Bradley Chubb for…

Continue reading →: Green Bay Packers at Dallas Cowboys: 2019 Week 5 NFL Pick
Green Bay Packers (3-1) at Dallas Cowboys (3-1) On paper this looks like an exciting matchup between a pair of NFC contenders, but neither team is coming in at 100%. While the Packers will be without #1 wide receiver Davante Adams with injury, the Cowboys will be without left tackle…

Continue reading →: Buffalo Bills at Tennessee Titans: 2019 Week 5 NFL Pick
Buffalo Bills (3-1) at Tennessee Titans (2-2) The Bills lost their first game of the season last week, but I have a higher opinion of them coming out of that game than going into it. Their 3-0 start came against the Jets, Giants, and Bengals, with the Bills trailing in…

Continue reading →: Oakland Raiders vs. Chicago Bears: 2019 Week 5 NFL Pick
Oakland Raiders (2-2) vs. Chicago Bears (3-1) in London Ordinarily, it’s smart to take the favorite in these international games. Favorites are 23-10 ATS all-time in international games and it makes sense that better teams would be better prepared for an unusual situation like this. However, I think this line…

Continue reading →: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New Orleans Saints: 2019 Week 5 NFL Pick
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-2) at New Orleans Saints (3-1) The Saints have won both games started by Teddy Bridgewater, but they can’t get Drew Brees back quickly enough, as their offense has completely sputtered in his absence, even as much talent as they have on offense around the quarterback. In…

Continue reading →: New York Jets at Philadelphia Eagles: 2019 Week 5 NFL Pick
New York Jets (0-3) at Philadelphia Eagles (2-2) This line is pretty high at Philadelphia -14, but I don’t think it’s high enough. In their last game, the Jets were 21-point underdogs at New England and only covered because they got two late return touchdowns off of a muffed punt…
