Coming off a Week 4 in the NFL that saw the favorites get roughed up, stumbling to a 5-9 ATS record, we look ahead to Sunday to figure out which teams are getting all the week 5 NFL picks action, which underdogs are sports bettors backing and what Over/Under plays are bettors zeroing in on.
Fresh off a much-needed bye week, the New Orleans Saints start October still searching for their first win of the season. It wasn’t supposed to be this way for this pre-season Super Bowl contender, but they’ve looked awful in their first three starts. However, sports bettors believe this weekend’s match-up sets up well for them, playing at home, with a week of rest, vs. a Carolina Panthers team with serious injury problems. The New Orleans Saints are 3 point favorites at SportsBetting.com and getting 81% of the early week 5 NFL picks action. It is worth noting the Carolina Panthers hold a spotless 6-0 mark against the spread in their last six road games vs. New Orleans.
The Indianapolis Colts have a record of 9-3 ATS the last 12 times they have played an NFC team, but their game against the Tampa Bay Bucs has NFL picks experts and sports bettors backing both sides, with Indy, as a 10-point favorite, getting 55% of the volume, and Tampa Bay holding at 45%.
The Green Bay Packers are only 1-8 ATS in their last nine home games vs. a divisional opponent, but sports bettors like the way this Packer team is playing, giving them 85% of the early week 5 NFL picks action in their game vs. Chicago. The “Under” in the Chicago-Green Bay meeting on Sunday night is getting 73% of the betting volume on the total at SportsBetting.com.
