NFL bye weeks are here. Atlanta Falcons, Denver Broncos, New Orleans Saints and Washington will all sit this week. But don’t fret, there are several great betting opportunities in Week 5.
This is the NFL Week 5 Betting Cheat Sheet
Patriots (-4) at Buccaneers | Thursday, Oct 5 at 8:25 PM ET
How are the Patriots 2-2 when Tom Brady is playing some of the best football in his career. He has tossed 10 TDs and zero picks while being sacked 13 times. Brady is leading the league in passing yards with 1399 yards. That puts him on pace to throw for an NFL record 5,596 yards this season.
The bad news is that the Pats rank last in total defense and second worst in points allowed with 32.0 PPG. A short week won’t help Belichik and co to shore up the D.
Titans at Dolphins | Sunday, Oct 8 at 1:00 PM ET
Which team is in the dog house? The Titans after allowing Texan rookie QB Deshaun Watson to put up 57 points or that the Dolphins’ were skunked in London?
Bills at Bengals (-3.5) | Sunday, Oct 8 at 1:00 PM ET
Can you believe the Bills are at the top of the AFC East after four weeks?

Don’t be fooled.
Panthers at Lions (-3) | Sunday, Oct 8 at 1:00 PM ET

Chargers at NY Giants (-4.5) | Sunday, Oct 8 at 1:00 PM ET
