I feel like every week gets weirder. I am not talking about the current political situation in America, but instead about the NFL and COVID. Games are moving; lines are missing, or changing dramatically. Does anyone know who the Patriots QB will be this week? Is Jimmy G back? There are so many question marks and injuries. If I could advise you of anything, it would be pay attention to the injuries on the offensive and defensive line. The Cowboys look like they are in a smash spot for their offense, but their entire offensive line is hurt.
This week we only have three games with spreads under six points at the time of writing. When it seems too easy to just tease a few teams together and have them win, it usually is. Does that mean I am going to recommend a teaser? Oh, you know it!
Week 5 Odds Boost You Should Consider
Draft Kings
Nothing is listed that is worth mentioning at this time.
Fan Duel
Extra Points for Extra Pay Min +8.5, KC -10.5, Dal -7.5. +550 (Max Bet $50)
I mean, if Dallas was not involved, I would be in. However, getting the extra points and the odds boost make this advantageous. This is not an auto-max bet from me.
Pat’s Pick Bal -5.5, HOU +.5, Pitt -0.5 +200.
I am betting the $50 max on this one. I think the Texans get the win, the Steelers win and Baltimore only has to cover less than a TD. Sign me up for the max bet.
Fox Bet
Each team to score a TD in Each Half Steelers and Eagles +300
This seems good on the surface, but the Steelers defense has the ability to shut down this injured Eagles offense. I am going to pass on this.
Kyle Allen to throw 2 or more INT’s +300
If this included fumbles I would be in. This is still pretty good though since Washington will be behind and throwing.
Plays I Will Be On
Minnesota +7
Seattle’s defense is horrible against the pass. The Vikings offense has been unleashed after they turned to Justin Jefferson at WR2. I think this is close and competitive and Seattle is due to lose at some point.
NYG +8.5
Dallas has no offensive line and their defense cannot stop anyone.
4 Team 6 Point Teaser +250
Steelers -1 NYG +14.5 MIN +13, Rams -1
This almost feels too easy. I am just going to assume Kirk Cousins throws a pick six to lose by 14.
