Which are the best NFL Week 5 bets against the spread?

Happy Sunday! Week 5 of the NFL season began on Thursday with yet another blowout on the strength of the Green Bay Packers utterly exploding past the Minnesota Vikings, and once again, the rest of the league waits with bated breath as we unveil the handicapping end of the spectrum with five picks against the spread. Throughout the first four weeks of the campaign, we have provided you with five selections per week on the NFL slate, and to be frank, the early results have not been acceptable. Still, we will not be denied (!) and in that vein, the new objective is to climb out of a mounting deficit.

As usual, we will be fading the public as a general principle, and if a line seems out of place or just simply “fishy”, we will often be the first to pounce on it, even if it requires some ignorance to reality. Before we get to the picks, let’s look at where we stand for the season, including last week’s results from what admittedly was a disaster:

  • Last week: 1-4
  • Season: 7-13

With that out of the way, let’s take a look at this week’s selections!
