NFL Week 5 Picks Against The Spread 2019: Predictions ATS, Updated Betting Odds For Every Game

Twelve of the 15 games in Week 5 of the 2019 NFL season feature a point spread of less than a touchdown. Only three teams are favored on the road in their opponents’ stadium. A winless team is favored to pick up their first victory.

Below are picks against the spread for every game in Week 5, as well as updated betting odds at Las Vegas and online sportsbooks. Betting lines and trends are courtesy of OddsShark.

Los Angeles Rams (+1.5) at Seattle Seahawks

Russell Wilson is playing so much better than Jared Goff through four weeks that it’s hard to bet against the Seahawks at home when they are laying less than a field goal. Los Angeles is 1-4 against the spread in their last five meetings with Seattle.

Prediction ATS: Seattle

Atlanta Falcons (+5) at Houston Texans

All of Houston’s games have come down to the wire this season. Sunday might not be any different, though it’s hard to see Atlanta winning on the road with the way they’ve played in 2019.

Prediction ATS: Atlanta

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+3) at New Orleans Saints

The Saints aren’t getting enough respect after beating two playoff teams in consecutive weeks. Jameis Winston might be due for a multiple-interception game after three straight strong performances. Tampa Bay is 4-11 in their last 15 meetings with New Orleans.

Prediction ATS: New Orleans

Buffalo Bills (+3) at Tennessee Titans

Tennessee hasn’t been able to put together consecutive solid performances. Marcus Mariota will have a frustrating game against a defense that made Tom Brady look pedestrian. Matt Barkley can hold down the fort for a week if Josh Allen is ruled out with a concussion.

Prediction ATS: Buffalo

Jacksonville Jaguars (+3.5) at Carolina Panthers

Gardner Minshew might be the real deal, going 2-1 as a starting quarterback and 3-0 against the spread. Kyle Allen came back down to earth last week, and his penchant for fumbling the football could be a problem against Jacksonville’s pass rush.

Prediction ATS: Jacksonville

Arizona Cardinals (+3.5) at Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals are going to perform much better than they did in Monday night’s 27-3 loss to the Steelers. Cincinnati nearly beat Seattle and Buffalo on the road. They can handle a Cardinals’ team that has lost two straight games by three scores. The Bengals are 6-2 against the spread in their last eight games.

Prediction ATS: Cincinnati

Minnesota Vikings (-5.5) at New York Giants

Kirk Cousins and the Vikings have a habit of beating up on bad teams. In two games against opponents that don’t have a winning record, Minnesota has a plus-36 point differential. The Giants’ defense is still among the NFL’s worst.

Prediction ATS: Minnesota

New York Jets (+13.5) at Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia’s secondary makes it tough to bet the Eagles as a two-touchdown favorite. The Jets backdoored the Patriots in Week 3 and could very well do the same Sunday as heavy underdogs. The Eagles only beat the Redskins by five points in the season opener.

Prediction ATS: New York

Baltimore Ravens (-3.5) at Pittsburgh Steelers

If you eliminate their win over the hapless Dolphins, the Ravens haven’t proven that they should be favored by more than a field goal in Pittsburgh. Baltimore’s defense has taken a significant step back from a year ago, ranking dead last in opponents’ yards per play. The Ravens are 1-5 against the spread in their last six games.

Prediction ATS: Pittsburgh

New England Patriots (-15.5) at Washington Redskins

In the middle of the week, Washington still doesn’t know who will start at quarterback. The Redskins might be lucky to score more than 10 points against the NFL’s No.1 defense. Tom Brady and the Patriots’ offense should move the ball with ease against the NFC’s worst scoring defense.

Prediction ATS: New England

Chicago Bears (-5) at Oakland Raiders (London)

Oakland couldn’t move the ball the one time they faced a top defense this season. Chicago has the NFL’s best defense. If Chase Daniel can get the Bears to 20 points—he did it in both of his starts last season—the Bears should cover the spread.

Prediction ATS: Chicago

Denver Broncos (+6.5) at Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers are off to another one of their slow starts, only covering the spread in their visit to Miami. Denver won in Los Angeles last year, and the AFC West rivals have split their head-to-head meetings since Peyton Manning’s retirement. The Broncos could be in for another close loss.

Prediction ATS: Denver

Green Bay Packers (+3.5) at Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys are a two-point loss in New Orleans away from having a perfect record. Dallas’ offense will bounce back against a Packers’ defense that couldn’t stop the run if their life depended on it last week.

Prediction ATS: Dallas

Indianapolis Colts (+11) at Kansas City Chiefs

It might be difficult for the Chiefs to win by more than 10 points when they rank 29th in opponents’ yards per play and the Colts are getting healthier. Kansas City will almost certainly win straight up. Every Indianapolis game this season has been a one-score game.

Prediction ATS: Indianapolis

Cleveland Browns (+3.5) at San Francisco 49ers

Cleveland’s offensive issues probably aren’t solved after one big win. San Francisco’s defense has been among the league’s best. It will give Baker Mayfield and the Browns’ offensive line all they can handle Monday night.

Prediction ATS: San Francisco

Season Record: 28-35
