NFL Week 5 Betting Preview

It is Week 5 of the NFL, we got through week 4 which had some of the weakest match ups so far this season. We all knew Raiders were pitiful but 44-7 with Giants players saying it felt more like a scrimmage basically sums up the games last week.

NFL Week 5 has some better match ups along with a couple double digit lines. There is definitely two tiers in the NFL you are either a legit playoff contender or a team that will be happy to win 3-4 games this season.

Games to Watch – NFL Week 5 Odds

Baltimore Ravens (3)  vs Minnesota Vikings (-3) - Can Favre & Pedersen lead the Vikings over the Ravens defense. Offshore sportsbooks seem to think so with an advantage of a field goal.

My Opinion: I tend to think the Vikings with the passing & running threat will be able to beat the Ravens . I would pick the Vikings by -3.

New York Giants (3) vs New Orlean Saints (-3) – The Saints are coming off their bye week and have to take on the Giants who are also undefeated. The Giants beat the Raiders easily and effectively last week but now taken on a much better offense and defense. This is the must watch game of the week and whoever wins this will likely be the NFC favorite.

My Opinion:  This is a tough game to pick, I know it will be close but I am going to go for the Giants to cover the spread.

Denver Broncos (3.5) vs. San Diego Chargers (-3.5) - Will LT come back and be effective (I hope so, I have him in fantasy..he is killing me)? Broncos beat the Patriots last week and are 5-0  but they had a couple close wins and could easily have another loss or two.

My Opinion: I am going to take another favorite and choose the Chargers.
