The excitement continues to build around the NFL as the season rolls into week 5. This week that excitement features a few prime time showdowns that features a few key NFL Games to Bet on. One game we will have our eyes on this weekend features the New England Patriots traveling to Cleveland to take on the Browns. For us this game has a few key storylines to watch including the return of All-Pro and future Hall Of Famer Tom Brady. Brady who missed the first four games of the regular game due to a suspension is set to return this weekend against a Cleveland Browns team that has yet to win a game. Without Brady this season the Patriots have been really good going 3-1 on the year in a stretch of games that many experts had going either 2-2 or even 1-3. In that same stretch the Patriots have gone 3-1 against the spread including 1-0 on the road this season. Now looking a little deeper at this contest the line currently has the Patriots as a 10.5 point favorite. Entering this contest the Patriots have won of only one of their first three games by more than double digits. Meanwhile the Browns have managed to lose two of their four games by at least 11 points.While we like the Patriots in week 5 here are some of the other Key NFL Bets for Week 5 of the 2016 NFL Season.
[fcrp_feat_sc sc_id=”451″]Philadelphia Eagles (-3) @ Detroit Lions (46) Pick: Philadelphia Eagles
This might be the best game of the week to bet as the handicappers in Las Vegas have the Eagles as only a three point favorite against a struggling Lions team. Entering this contest the Eagles have knocked off the Cleveland Browns (29-10), Chicago Bears (29-14) and the Pittsburgh Steelers (34-3) all by at least 15 points. Out of the Lions three losses only one has come by more than three points and that came against the only team they have faced this season with a winning record. Betting Trends: Eagles are 3-0 against the spread this season / Lions are 1-3 against the spread including 0-1 at home.Atlanta Falcons (+6) @ Denver Broncos (47.5) Pick: Over
Keep an eye on the quarterback situation is with the Broncos as we would strongly consider taking the Falcons if Trevor Siemian does not start. That being said we are looking at this game because of the over/under line of 47.5 points. For me this game has the making to be a high scoring contest for both clubs this weekend. Last weekend the Falcons scorched a solid Carolina Panthers defense showing everyone they can put points on the board. Betting Trends: In all four of the Falcons games this season they have combined to score more than 55 points. Along with that the Broncos have combined to cover the over in 19 of their last 26 games in the month of October.Cincinnati Bengals (-1) @ Dallas Cowboys (45) Pick: Cincinnati Bengals & Over
This is a great game to parlay as we expect each of these teams to put up some points this week while possible keeping it a close game. Entering this contest the Cowboys three wins have came against teams that have combined to go just 4-8 to start the season. Meanwhile the Bengals have picked up wins in both of their games they should have won while picking up losses against two teams that have combined to go 7-1 on the year. [wpsm_video]https://youtu.be/oyuD__c9OoU[/wpsm_video] Betting Trends: The Bengals have been a really good road team over the past year going 9-1 against the spread in ten games. Along with that they have just been really good against the spread going 14-5-2 over their last 21 overall games. The Cowboys on the other hand have struggled at home against the spread going just 16-34-1 over their last 51 home games.Other Key NFL Bets For Week 5
