NFL Week 5 picks: Eagles stay unbeaten; Jaguars defeat Chiefs
"Last week, Farmer posted a 12-4 (.750) record. Through the first three weeks of the season, he is 44-20 (.688). Using point spreads with the scores Farmer predicted, his record against the spread in Week 4 would have been 9-7 (.563). For the season, his record against the spread is 33-31 (.516). All times are Pacific and TV reflects broadcasts in the Los Angeles area. The Falcons, Bears, Packers and Steelers are off this week."
"Sunday, 6:30 a.m. TV: NFL Network. Line: Vikings by 3½. O/U: 35½. Hard to know what to make of Carson Wentz, who can be all over the map. This feels like a low-scoring, grind-it-out matchup. Both offenses are sputtering and turnovers likely will decide the outcome. Feels like Minnesota will bounce back after losing to the Steelers. Pick: Vikings 14, Browns 10"
"Sunday, 10 a.m. TV: NFL Ticket. Line: Saints by 1½. O/U: 41½. Jaxson Dart was fun to watch against the Chargers, but how long can he last absorbing all of those hits? Cam Skattebo is like a modern-day Larry Csonka with how hard he runs. The Giants can get after the passer and have enough to pick up back-to-back wins. Pick: Giants 23, Saints 18"
All lines and over/under numbers are according to FanDuel Sportsbook. A 12-4 (.750) record was posted last week, and through the first three weeks the mark is 44-20 (.688). Using predicted scores against point spreads, the Week 4 against-the-spread mark would have been 9-7 (.563), and the season ATS record listed is 33-31 (.516). The Rams are favored over an injury-depleted 49ers team, with Los Angeles viewed as resilient even when outplayed. The Vikings are pegged for a low-scoring, turnover-driven win over Cleveland. The Giants are picked to upset the Saints, with concerns about Jaxson Dart’s durability and praise for Cam Skattebo’s power running. The Broncos defense is noted as a factor that could keep Denver competitive against Philadelphia.
