Here are the Week 5 Spread Picks Courtesy Of Fanduel
Jaguars vs Bills (-5.5 Bills)
The Jacksonville Jaguars need to focus more attention on their ground game to take pressure off their QB. The Bills are hitting their stride now. And at home, this could get ugly. The Bills cover the spread here.
Texans vs Falcons (+2.5)
A battle of two young teams with bright futures. the Texans are winning with solid play from their rookie while the Falcons are grinding out wins as well. Even on the road, the Texans will do just enough to win this game.
Panthers vs Lions (-9 Lions)
The Panthers still have a ways to go as far as being competitive. The Lions are destined for the playoffs this season. At home, the Lions will cover the spread here.,
Titans vs Colts (+1.5 Colts)
Are the veteran Titans turning the corner? Are the young Colts ready to take that next step? Both teams have talent but which one is the one to place your money on this week? Take the Colts at home to cover the spread.
Giants vs Dolphins (-10.5 Dolphins)
The New York Giants were embarrassed Monday night. The Miami Dolphins were humbeled against the Bills. Who will set their season straight this week? Expect the Dolphins to cover here.
Ravens vs Steelers (-4 Ravens)
The Baltimore Ravens have been hit with injuries since the start of the season and yet, they find ways to win. The Steelers must put an all-out good performance on the field or Mike Tomlin could be jobless. However, this is not the week this happens. Ravens cover the spread.
Will Your NFL Team Cover The Spread In Week 5
Saints vs Patriots (-1 Saints)
The New Orleans Saints just need time to get their offensive players on the same page with Alvin Kamara back. Meanwhile, the Patriots are in a tailspin. With devastating injuries to their defense, can Mac Jones be the savior? Nope. Saints cover here.
Bengals vs Cardinals (-3 Bengals)
This game could be the deciding factor in whether to rest Joe Burrow or not. The Cardinals are a scrappy bunch and could pull off the upset here and ruin the spread. But it doesn’t happen, even while at home.
Eagles vs Rams (-4.5 Eagles)
The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to go to 5-0 on the season but the pesky Rams have other plans. Can the Eagles cover the spread on the road? Yes, they will.
Chiefs vs Vikings (-5.5 Chiefs)
This game has all the making of a high-scoring affair. The Chiefs are rolling and the Vikings still have Justin Jefferson and Kirk Cousins. However, while on the road in Minnesota, the Chiefs will cover here.
Jets vs Broncos (-1.5 Broncos)
Which Zach Wilson will show up for the New York Jets? Will it be the version that stumbles or the one we saw last week against the Chiefs? The same can be said for Russell Wilson. Either way, expect the Broncos to cover the spread here.
Cowboys vs 49ers (-3.5 49ers)
This is the NFL Game of the Week. the Cowboys and looking to get their respect and the 49ers are looking to move to 5-0 on the season. the bet here is a toss-up. But I like the 49ers to cover here.
Packers vs Raiders (-1 Packers)
This could turn into a running back competition here between the two teams, especially if neither can get things going through the air. The Packers have a slightly better defense which should help them cover the spread.
