NFL Week 5 Picks: Who is the BetSided Community Backing?
Week 5 of the NFL season is here.
If you already my best bet for every single game on this week's episode of the Bacon Bets Podcast, so now I want to hear who YOU are backing.
I sent out a tweet asking the BetSided community to give me their best bets, so let's take a look at a few of them.
Dolphins vs. Jets Pick
Dolphins -3
— Rich Poggi (@rich_poggi) October 5, 2022
Dolphins will have Teddy Bridgewater, aka Teddy Two Gloves, under center on Sunday when they take on the 2-2 New York Jets. I'm personally on the OVER in this game, but I'd take the Dolphins if I had to take a side. Bridgewater has been fantastic against the spread as a starting QB this season.
Fade Teddy "Covers" Bridgewater at your own risk... 🧐

Falcons vs. Buccaneers Pick
Not just saying this because you are a homer lol but what have the bucs done to get 9 points against the falcons? Like wth I’ll take that all day idc where it is played

I agree with this! I'm trying not to be a home, as Fins-up said, but there are some issues going on with the Tampa Bay offense. Heading into this week, the Buccaneers rank 22nd in yards per play. The Falcons rank 9th. The spread is way too big in this game, in my opinion.
Chargers vs. Browns Pick
Browns +3 2u
— Hot Takes With TP3 (@TP3bets) October 5, 2022
2nd best oline in the nfl
Chargers 20th vs the run
Browns won the stats and lost last week
Teams that didn’t cover vs teams that did are 57% ats
Browns should have back both rush ends or at least Garrett
Chargers have many injuries still
I couldn't have said it better myself, TP3. The Chargers have the second worst run defense in the NFL this season, and now they have to take on a top tier rushing attack. Good luck stopping Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.
Eagles vs. Cardinals Pick
Cards moneyline

Cards +5
— Crypto_Cort (@Crypto_Cort) October 5, 2022
Two separate picks on the Cardinals, and Dylan is backing them on the moneyine. Big upset call! Every single statistic points towards the Eagles dominating the Cardinals in this game, but sometimes weird things happen. I'm on the Eagles, but I wouldn't be shocked if Arizona puts everything together and hands the Eagles their first loss of the season.
Steelers vs. Bills Pick
These are both very difficult to type
— jn (@Nolanpoker) October 5, 2022
Steelers +14
Titans -6
There aren't going to be many 14-point spread this season, and NolanPoker has no interest in laying the points. It's an ugly bet, and not one I can convince myself to take. Godspeed, Nolan.
