Aaron’s Week 5 NFL Picks

Thanks to last week’s brilliant 10-6 performance, I am 31-32-1, and that is a .500 record if you include the Atlanta win already in the books for this week. It took a while, but we finally climbed out of that Week 1 hole. Next stop, profitability?!

Tampa Bay at Atlanta -2.5

I booked it with Well Read before the game on Thursday, so it is going down as a win! Thanks go out to Captain Kirko and my fantasy darling Drake London!

NY Jets vs. Minnesota -2.5

Finally, the Vikings are favored, but this game isn’t in Minnesota; it is in London. The Jets looked legit when they stomped New England, but then they went right back into pretender mode with an ugly home loss to Denver. I will keep riding these Vikings!

Carolina +4.5 at Chicago

The Panthers came back down to Earth last week with a loss vs. Cincinnati, but the Carolina offense continued to look legit with Andy Dalton under center. That will help the Panthers defeat Chicago outright on Sunday!

Baltimore at Cincinnati +2.5

Speaking of offense, the Bengals have scored 72 points over their last two games. They might only need one or two stops on defense to beat Baltimore.

Miami at New England +1.5

I can’t bet on Miami again after the Tennessee debacle last week.

Cleveland at Washington -3.5

The Commies are red hot. They should be favored by at least a touchdown in this game. Lock it up.

Indianapolis +2.5 at Jacksonville

Jonathan Taylor is likely out for the Colts, but they are still much better than Jacksonville. I lost betting against the Jaguars when they were underdogs last week, but I feel much better about fading them as a favorite!

Buffalo +1.5 at Houston

The Bills completely flopped last week at Baltimore. Many people will say they are overrated because they beat up on Arizona, Miami, and Jacksonville, but I think the Bills get back on track and win the Stefon Diggs revenge game.

Las Vegas at Denver -2.5

It is time to start believing in Denver, and Davante Adams is out for Las Vegas.

Arizona +7.5 at San Francisco

The 49ers got back on track last week while Arizona was blown out. This gambling business would be too easy if San Francisco won big again.

Green Bay at LA Rams +3.5

The Rams look decent one week and horrible the next. One thing they have done well the last two weeks is get the running game on track with Kyren Williams. He will help this banged-up team get a win that it desperately needs.

NY Giants at Seattle -6.5

Malik Nabers is out, so I don’t know how the Giants are going to generate offense. Devin Singletary is out too, so maybe rookie tailback Tyrone Tracy Jr. breaks out, but this one should be ugly.

Dallas at Pittsburgh -2.5

Dallas’ two wins are against Cleveland and the Giants. I am considering it a fraud team until proven otherwise.

New Orleans +5.5 at Kansas City

With Rashee Rice injured, the Chiefs do not have enough weapons to cover this spread. They will still find a way to grind out a win because they are the Chiefs, but I’ll take the points.
