NFL Week Five Picks
First, a little housekeeping. The teasers I have played pay a half-unit less than I thought they did, so in the interest of total intellectual rigor, my season record now stands at 8-9, +5.1 units. Capiche?
Miami -2.5 vs. Baltimore: When a team gets pasted on the road like the Dolphins did last week, they usually do whatever they need to do in front of their home fans.
Philadelphia +2 at New York Giants: I strongly suspect the wrong team is favored here. The Eagles have issues, sure, but not as many as the Giants. Not by a long shot.
Carolina -2 at Arizona: Last year, the Panthers would have figured out a way to lose this game. This year, they will figure out a way to win it.
Denver -7 at Dallas: I don't think the Broncos are going undefeated or anything, but this is not the week the train goes off the tracks.
And once again, a six-point, five-team teaser; pays 4.5 to 1.
Baltimore +8.5
Indianapolis +8.5 vs. Seattle
Philadelphia +8
Arizona +8
Denver -2
