NFL Odds: Week 5 picks against the spread

Tennessee Titans (-3) @ Buffalo Bills

The Tennessee Titans make literally no sense. Marcus Mariota is playing without feeling in his hand. He’s closer to 50 percent than he is to 100 percent. The team has a first-year coach with little experience in Mike Vrabel. Yet, this team is 3-1 and leading their division.

The Bills, on the other hand, are the worst team in the league. Despite the fact that the Bills blew out the Vikings two weeks ago, they still have a -56 point differential. That’s the opposite of impressive.

This one is easy. Always bet against Buffalo. Until these lines start to get crazy, always bet against the Bills.

Tennessee 26, Buffalo 13

New York Giants @ Carolina Panthers (-6.5)

Man, the New York Giants had ample opportunities to come up with the win against the New Orleans Saints, until they completely fell apart. The team was on the doorstep multiple times, yet came away with field goals for the most part. A team can’t do that against a team from the high-powered NFC South.

The Panthers are getting a lot of points in this game, but the Giants haven’t shown a reason to get the benefit of the doubt. This is still Eli Manning we’re talking about here. Taking on former MVP Cam Newton.

The Panthers are coming off an early bye week, which means they’ve had two weeks to prepare for this Giants team. Odell Beckham Jr. is not happy with his role. Saquon Barkley has looked good, but not game changing good. And again, this is Eli Manning at QB. Go with the Panthers even with the points.

Carolina 28, New York (G) 21
