NFL Week 5 Picks

by Abe Luciano on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

NFL Week 5 Picks: Another exciting NFL Week is in the books. In Week 5, here are the tams with Bye Weeks: Cleveland Browns (1-3), St. Louis Rams (0-4), Oakland Raiders (1-3), and New York Jets (2-2). Opening Sports Odds Lines are quickly becoming available for NFL Week 5, as I will be highlighting some of the most notable games for this upcoming week provided by SportsBook.com. Lets begin with the 1 PM ET match up between the (1-2) Indianapolis Colts taking on the win-less Houston Texans (0-3). Online Sports Betting Odds currently favor the Indianapolis Colts (-3) by a mere field goal against the home, Houston Texans (+3) and the OVER/UNDER is set at 47½ points.

Even though both teams have gotten off to slow starts, it is the Colts’ 1-2 record that’s causing most of the concern. Peyton Manning and the Colts will have to figure out a way to win, and play through all the injuries. Coming off a bye week gave them a chance to rest some aching bodies.

Next up is the 1 PM ET game between the San Diego Chargers (2-2) at the Miami Dolphins (1-2). In this one, the San Diego Chargers are NFL Betting Odds favored by -7 points against the hosting Miami Dolphins (+7). The Chargers are coming off a solid come-from-behind win against the dreaded Oakland Raiders. Meanwhile the Miami Dolphins are coming off the best game in nearly 2 years. Miami went into Gillette Stadium and handed the New England Patriots their first loss in 22 regular season games. The OVER/UNDER for this Chargers-Dolphins game is set at a combined total of 45½ points.

Also in Week 5, the defending Super Bowl Champs, New York football Giants (3-0) will host the Seattle Seahawks (1-2) at 1 PM ET from Giants Stadium in the Meadowlands. In this game, the New York Giants are -9 NFL Sports Betting Odds favorites against the Seattle Seahawks (+9), with the O/U set at a combined 43½ points.
