NFL
Week 5 Preview
Week Five Preview and Free Sports Picks in the National
Football League
Looking forward to see teams in action that have won all their
games so far in 2007, and beat the spread while at it, too?
Look no further than the Week 5 match-up between the Pats and the
Browns in New England. The Pats are naturally a 16,5 point favorite
in this game, but I’m pretty sure they’ll make it 5-0-0
ATS by the end of this one. The two teams don’t look much
like they’re playing in the same league, and the Pats have
home-field advantage. Put two and two together…it ain’t
that difficult…
The Cardinals should have an easy time disposing of the battered
Rams. The Arizona team looks like they’ll clinch a playoff
spot this year, albeit the competition in the NFC West is not going
to make things truly difficult for them.
The Rams look battered on both sides of the field: their defense
allowing to many PPGs, while their offense is ranked last in the
league.
Arizona are 3 point favs in this one.
One of the tightest calls this week is the Jacksonville –
KC mach-up. These guys are fairly equal all over the field. Do not
underestimate home field advantage though, the bookies sure won’t,
thus you have a 2 point spread crediting the Chiefs as marginal
favorites. Good money can potentially be made on this here game.
The Jets vs The Giants should be an interesting game, which –
from a New Yorker’s perspective – cannot end in a loss.
Seriously though, at the beginning of the season, most experts would’ve
put the slight 3-point spread in favor of the Jets. After their
loss to the Bills though, and after promising signs from the Giants
that they are indeed trying to pull themselves together, the 3 points
go to the Giants in this one. Looks like it’ll be a walk in
the park, but could end up in a slug-fest.
Seattle goes to Pittsburg on a 5 point spread, but if you’re
looking for games where the winner covers the spread, this might
not be it. The Seahawks look well capable of taking care of the
overrated Steelers on their own field, and that’s probably
just what they’ll do. Both teams are coming into this game
off losses against Arizona. While in the case of the Seahawks it
can be considered irrelevant, it says a lot about the much-hyped
Steelers.
The Dolphins in Houston? Throw 5 points on the barbie for the Texans,
and forget about the Dolphins altogether. It’d be a big surprise
if Houston didn’t manage to cover that spread, but then again,
these are exactly the kind of games where hidden value can be exploited.
Sharpen up the old handicapping skills, and see if you can come
up with a reason or two for a wild bet…Don’t be surprised
though, if you won’t find any.
Whether Atlanta can find an answer to Vince Young, remains to be
seen, but don’t get your hopes up in that respect just yet.
Also, if you thought Atlanta may have just embarked on a w inning
streak, think again.
The Titans will probably represent an obstacle that’ll make
last week’s win over Houston forgotten very fast. The spread
is set at 8 and a half points in favor of the Titans, and frankly,
they look well capable of covering it.
The Lions vs the Redskins will be a battle on the defensive end.
In that respect, the Skins are superior, even though they are only
2-1 so far.
Detroit is 3-1, but let’s not forget that the game takes place
on the Redskins’ turf, so while it might be a close call,
I’d say Skins by a small margin.
The 3 point spread is fair-enough here.
