Analyzing NFL Week 5 Line Movement

Let’s jump into analyzing the latest NFL week 5 betting odds to the opening lines.

Indianapolis Colts vs. Denver Broncos

Opening Spread: Broncos -3 / Current Spread: Broncos -3.5

Opening Total: 44 Points / Current Total: 43.5 Points

In what should be low-scoring, getting over a FG on the spread is enticing.

New York Giants vs. Green Bay Packers

Opening Spread: Packers -6.5 / Current Spread: Packers -8

Opening Total: 45.5 Points / Current Total: 41.5 Points

We’ve seen a lot of movement on the game total due to both teams struggling offensively.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Buffalo Bills

Opening Spread: Bills -8 / Current Spread: Bills -14

Opening Total: 47.5 Points / Current Total: 47 Points

The Bills have seen a huge jump on their point spread after defeating the Ravens in week 4.

Los Angeles Chargers vs. Cleveland Browns

Opening Spread: Chargers -3 / Current Spread: Chargers -3

Opening Total: 48 Points / Current Total: 48 Points

There has been no movement yet in this game, but look for the Chargers spread to increase this week.

Houston Texans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Opening Spread: Jaguars -3 / Current Spread: Jaguars -7

Opening Total: 43.5 Points / Current Total: 44.5 Points

The Texans remain winless and the Jaguars lead the AFC South, so early action has been on the Jags.

NFL Odds

Chicago Bears vs. Minnesota Vikings

Opening Spread: Vikings -4.5 / Current Spread: Vikings -7

Opening Total: 43 Points / Current Total: 44 Points

The Vikings are now touchdown favorites and this spread could continue rising into the weekend.

Detroit Lions vs. New England Patriots

Opening Spread: Patriots -5 / Current Spread: Patriots -3

Opening Total: 44.5 Points / Current Total: 46.5 Points

Can the Patriots keep up with the Lions high-scoring offense? Bettors aren’t convinced.

Seattle Seahawks vs. New Orleans Saints

Opening Spread: Saints -4.5 / Current Spread: Saints -5.5

Opening Total: 41 Points / Current Total: 45.5 Points

This game total has shot up already, but it’s unlikely to go any higher before kick-off.

Miami Dolphins vs. New York Jets

Opening Spread: Dolphins -2.5 / Current Spread: Dolphins -3

Opening Total: 45.5 Points / Current Total: 44 Points

There’s a good chance this Dolphins spread will continue to rise. Jump on Miami now if you like them.

Atlanta Falcons vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Opening Spread: Buccaneers -10.5 / Current Spread: Buccaneers -8

Opening Total: 47.5 Points / Current Total: 48 Points

The Bucs have lost two in a row. Should they be such big favorites against anyone in the NFL?

NFL Picks

Tennessee Titans vs. Washington Commanders

Opening Spread: Titans -1 / Current Spread: Titans -2.5

Opening Total: 42.5 Points / Current Total: 42.5 Points

The Titans have won two in a row and the public will be backing them in a tough spot on the road.

San Francisco 49ers vs. Carolina Panthers

Opening Spread: 49ers -3 / Current Spread: 49ers -5

Opening Total: 39 Points / Current Total: 39.5 Points

The 49ers are having a tough start to the season, but Carolina have been even worse.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Arizona Cardinals

Opening Spread: Cardinals -2 / Current Spread: Eagles -5.5

Opening Total: 48.5 Points / Current Total: 49.5 Points

The Eagles are undefeated and now favored to cover ATS over the Cardinals in week 5.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Los Angeles Rams

Opening Spread: Rams -4.5 / Current Spread: Rams -5

Opening Total: 52.5 Points / Current Total: 45.5 Points

This game total has shot down quickly, but with Dak Prescott potentially back, the over is enticing.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Baltimore Ravens

Opening Spread: Ravens -1 / Current Spread: Ravens -3

Opening Total: 45 Points / Current Total: 48.5 Points

The Ravens will remain favored at home, but don’t expect the line to jump over a FG.

Las Vegas Raiders vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Opening Spread: Chiefs -4.5 / Current Spread: Chiefs -7

Opening Total: 52.5 Points / Current Total: 51.5 Points

After a strong week 4 performance, the Chiefs will be heavily backed to cover ATS over the Raiders.
