Last week, I ended up going 3-2-1 on my six plays for a small profit. Let’s post another profitable week. There are four teams on a bye week (Browns, Chargers, Seahawks and Buccaneers).

If you’re new to this weekly article, I share my top three point spread and game total picks.

NFL Week 5 Predictions – Against the Spread

Here are my top three point spread NFL Week 5 predictions:

Best Bet: Buffalo Bills -5 (-110)

The Bills (3-1) host the Jaguars (2-2). Jacksonville won last week and will remain in London this week. Buffalo are one of the top teams in the NFL. The Bills score 34.8 PPG (2nd) and allow 13.8 PPG (2nd). The Jags are scoring 20.0 PPG (21st) and won’t be able to keep up on the scoreboard.

NFL Over/Under Odds

Best Bet: Carolina Panthers +10 (-110)

Carolina (0-4) have only lost one game by more than ten points this season and that was in Week 1. The Lions (3-1) have been cashing for bettors to begin the season and they’ve won their last two games by 14 points each. The Lions will find running lanes, but will struggle to throw on Carolina. This will be close.

Best Bet: Baltimore Ravens -4 (-110)

The Steelers (2-2) host the Ravens (3-1) on Sunday. Baltimore just defeated the Browns (28-3) and are now 2-0 in the AFC North. The Steelers are only scoring 15.5 PPG (T25). Baltimore’s offense ranks fourth in rushing yards (151.3 RYPG) and the Steelers are allowing 148.5 RYPG (29th).

NFL Week 5 Predictions – Game Totals

Here are my top three game total NFL Week 5 predictions:

Best Bet: Saints vs. Patriots Under 39.5 Points (-110)

Derek Carr is banged up and struggling to throw the football downfield. The Saints (2-2) and Patriots (1-3) are both struggling on offense. The Saints are scoring 15.5 PPG (T25) and the Patriots are scoring 13.8 PPG (30th). This feels like a game that’ll end up with neither team scoring 20+ points.

NFL Over/Under Picks

Best Bet: Bengals vs. Cardinals Over 44 Points (-110)

The Bengals (1-3) have been bad on offense, but they have a chance to get things back on track against Arizona (1-3). The Cardinals are allowing 25.5 PPG (T25). Cincy are allowing 23.5 PPG (18th). I expect both teams to score 20+ points, which will send this game flying over the total.

Best Bet: Chiefs vs. Vikings Under 53 Points (-110)

The Chiefs (3-1) are scoring 25.3 PPG (9th). The offense hasn’t been too explosive. Minnesota (1-3) won last week in a low-scoring game and they’re allowing 23.8 PPG (19th). Kansas allow 15.0 PPG (T5) and Kirk Cousins will struggle in this matchup. This total is too high for how these offenses are playing.
