NFL Week 5 Bettors Guide.

Last Week: 10-4 straight up & 6-8 against the spread.
Overall: 32-14 straight up & 27-19 against the spread.

Minnesota Vikings @ St. Louis Rams (+10): I'm probably buggin here...but the Vikes are comin off of an emotional win on Monday night against the Packers and might take these Lambs for granted. After all, they've only scored 26 points all season and teams have scored 3 defensive TDs on them already. This is not sayin that the Vikes will lose, hell no. I'm just tellin yall to be a little cautious here (see Bengals-Browns last week). Minnesota 24 St. Louis 17

Cincinnati Bengals (+8.5) @ Baltimore Ravens: The over/under of 42 is way too low. Anyhow Vegas doesn't respect the Bengals, but you should. They can keep this game close because the Ravens' defense is a shell of its former self...whilst the Bengals' defense has gotten better. Baltimore 27 Cincinnati 24

Washington Redskins @ Carolina Panthers (-4): *Pukes*. Carolina 20 Washington 9

Pittsburgh Steelers (-10.5) @ Detroit Lions: If Polamalu comes back...look out. The way Pitt was able to gash the Chargers on D, they should have absolutely no problem doing so with Detroit's D. They do need to work on their propensity to sleep in the 2nd half of games but they'll be fine. Pittsburgh 31 Detroit 10

Dallas Cowboys (-8) @ Kansas City Chiefs: The Cowboys have become that team that can feast on vastly inferior competition...but when the going gets tough, they come up short. They'll get the job done Sunday without much of an issue. Dallas 27 Kansas City 17

Oakland Raiders @ New York Giants (-15.5): We got some HUGE spreads this week and this one is the biggest. I don't care though if Eli plays or not, Oakland not only is traveling out east to face arguably the league's best D, but they have Jamarcus Russell. Keep in mind they only scored SIX against the Texans' D. SIX. Oy. NY Giants 31 Oakland 3

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Philadelphia Eagles (-15): This will be pretty similar to the Chiefs game in week 3 for these Eagles. Sure their D isn't all that anymore but who are the Bucs on offense? Philadelphia 34 Tampa Bay 14

Cleveland Browns (+6) @ Buffalo Bills: The Bills are a team that looks completely out of sync. The past 2 weeks they've been outscored 65-17 and it has not looked pretty. Cleveland nearly pulled off the upset last week and although they had a shakeup trading Braylon Edwards...it might actually be for the best. The Browns came to Buffalo last year and stole one. Deja vu. Cleveland 21 Buffalo 17

Atlanta Falcons @ San Francisco 49ers (-2.5): The Falcons just don't travel all that well. The 49ers are just solid in all phases and get the job done once again at home in what should be a close game between two evenly matched squads. San Francisco 21 Atlanta 17

Jacksonville Jaguars (+1) @ Seattle Seahawks: I'm tired of underestimating the Jaguars and overestimating the Seahawks so here goes. Jacksonville 24 Seattle 14

Houston Texans @ Arizona Cardinals (-5.5): This will be a shootout for the ages. Both defenses have looked awful while both offenses have been lighting it up and you will get to see two of the premiere WRs in the game in Andre Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald. The Cards coming off of a bye should be the fresher team and will need to get back to form in order to be taken seriously. Arizona 38 Houston 30

New England Patriots (-3) @ Denver Broncos: I still don't take the Broncos seriously even after that come from behind win over Dallas. These two teams always seem to play each other. Should also be interesting with Belichick and Josh McDaniels squaring off with each other...surprised that ESPN hasn't built that up more ha. This will be Denver's first true test on defense and they will fail. Of course however, I don't mind if I'm wrong. New England 27 Denver 13

Indianapolis Colts @ Tennessee Titans (+3.5): You see a 4-0 team at an 0-4 team and yet the undefeated team is only favored by this much? Easy win right? Ehh...the Titans always play the Colts really tough whether at home or away and although Peyton Manning has been nothing short of amazing, somehow and someway I am gonna call an upset. Tennessee 23 Indianapolis 20

New York Jets (-1.5) @ Miami Dolphins: My guys are 5-18 straight up in non 1pm games since 2006. They do however get the job done at Landshark Stadium, winning their last three there. The last time a Rex Ryan D faced the Dolphins, the Ravens absolutely stifled them and their wildcat in the postseason and I expect Sanchez & Co. to bounce back against a tough Dolphins D. NY Jets 20 Miami 10
