The NFL season continues to roll along as we have already reached week 5 of the regular season. NFL betting continues to be extremely popular and there are some great betting options this weekend.
One of the best ways to bet on the NFL is to look at the game totals and bet on each game. With that in mind, here are the five best NFL week 5 over/under picks.
Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings
Bears vs. Vikings Predictions
Best Bet: Under 44 Points
The Chicago Bears are in Minnesota to face a Vikings squad that is 3-0. Minnesota is loaded with weapons on offense. That could make you think about taking the over in this game.
The biggest reason for taking the under in this game is that the Bears are a terrific team on defense. They also have an offense that does very little damage. Minnesota will find the endzone in this game, but the Bears aren’t going to do much scoring of their own.
New York Giants at Green Bay Packers
Giants vs. Packers Predictions
Best Bet: Over 41.5 Points
Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers head to London to take on the New York Giants. Rodgers is known for putting on a show in primetime and he will want to put on a show for the fans in the UK.
New York has gotten off to a 3-1 start to the season, which is extremely impressive for this team. The Giants have a superstar running back in Saquon Barkley and he is facing a Packers team that sometimes struggles against the run.
Take the over in this game as Rodgers will put on a show and Barkley helps the Giants score.
Seattle Seahawks at New Orleans Saints
Seahawks vs. Saints Predictions
Best Bet: Under 45.5 Points
The Seattle Seahawks and New Orleans Saints have both had interesting starts to the season. There are games in which both teams have been great on offense and others in which scoring points has been a chore.
This game should be pretty competitive, but it should also be one that features plenty of points. Take the under 45.5 points in this match-up as 21 points should be enough to come away with the victory.
Atlanta Falcons at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Falcons vs. Buccaneers Predictions
Best Bet: Over 48 Points
Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers struggled mightily in week 4 and were blown out by the Kansas City Chiefs. The Atlanta Falcons have been impressive to begin the year and they have been scoring nearly 26 points per game.
This should be a big game for the Buccaneers offense. The Falcons will be playing fast to try and keep up. Take the over 48 points in what should be a shootout in Tampa Bay.
Philadelphia Eagles at Arizona Cardinals
Eagles vs. Cardinals Predictions
Best Bet: Over 49.5 Points
If you are a fan of offense, then you will want to check out the game in Arizona. The Cardinals and the Philadelphia Eagles are two of the best offensive teams in the NFL and defense might be optional in this game.
Arizona is the better defensive team in this match-up, but they are facing an Eagles team that struggles to get stops. Philadelphia is putting up a ton of points to begin the year and this should be another great game for that unit.
Take the over 49.5 points as it might take 30 points to win this showdown.
