NFL Betting – Week 5 Parlay
CLICK HERE FOR THE BEST NFL WEEK 5 GAMBLING PICKS!! —>
NFL Week 5 matchups don’t scare us one bit. After all, we’re on fire after a second straight perfect parlay.
Let’s knock ’em dead again with some more rock-solid NFL picks.
VIKINGS (-10) over RAMS
In a week full of lopsided matchups, the Vikings are the safest bets to cover their spread. The Packers and 49ers lit the Rams up already, yet the Vikings beat them both. What, then, will Minnesota do to the Rams? Marc Bugler and Kyle Boller have been JaMarcus-Russell-bad this season, so Jared Allen, who terrorized Aaron Rodgers last Monday, could have a field day against whichever guy starts. The Vikings’ “D” alone could score double-digit points; San Francisco’s defense scored three touchdowns last week, after all. Brett Favre should have no trouble picking the Rams’ secondary apart and, while St. Louis has stopped the run better than expect so far, that will change courtesy of Mr. Adrian Peterson.
FALCONS (+2.5) over 49ERS
It’s not that I don’t believe in the 49ers’ sportsbook odds of continued success; it’s just that I don’t believe they’re quite as good as they look so far. Yes, Mike Singletary has them playing inspired defense, but good quarterbacks like Kurt Warner and Brett Favre actually moved the ball just fine against San Francisco through the air. Matt Ryan could have similar success. The Falcons’ run defense is porous but won’t face Frank Gore, who is still sidelined with an ankle injury. If fill-in Glen Coffee couldn’t gouge the Rams last week, he’s no sure bet to have a big game Sunday. Lastly, Shaun Hill still hasn’t expanded beyond caretaker status, so I’m not convinced the 49ers will score enough to win.
CARDINALS (-5-5) over TEXANS
Betting software predicts a shootout in this matchup and that’s probably a pretty safe bet, as both teams feature potent offenses. However, I like the Cardinals to cover, as “sexy” as the Texans’ offense may be. The Cardinals are well-rested after a bye week and should be angry after the Colts humiliated them at home in Week 3. Kurt Warner should light up a brutal Texans’ defense and the Cardinals will hold the Texans better than expected. They’ll get beat through the air but they should handle Steve Slaton and the Houston running game just fine. Pick Arizona.
