NFL Week 5 Betting Odds Picks: Falcons, Bengals, Patriots Will Stay Perfect

Heading into Week 5 of the NFL season undefeated is hard enough, but staying perfect against the spread while accomplishing that feat is even tougher.

Of the six unbeaten teams remaining, three—the Cincinnati Bengals, the Green Bay Packers and the Atlanta Falcons—have also covered all four games they have played.

A fourth team—the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots—is coming off a bye week after going 2-0-1 ATS.

On Sunday, the Packers will be hosting the St. Louis Rams (2-2), who just handed the Arizona Cardinals their first loss last week by a score of 24-22.

Green Bay is a consensus 9.5-point home favorite against St. Louis, according to sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark, and that seems like too many points to give a good defensive team that also defeated the defending NFC champion Seattle Seahawks 34-31 in overtime in its season opener.

However, the Bengals, the Falcons and the Patriots should all take care of business in Week 5 to not only stay undefeated but also remain without a loss ATS.

Cincinnati will host Seattle after routing the Kansas City Chiefs 36-21 last week as a 3.5-point home favorite. The Seahawks are coming off a close 13-10 win over the Detroit Lions on Monday night and do not look like they will be able to keep up on the scoreboard.

Seattle is 0-6 straight up and 0-4-2 ATS in its last six road games against AFC North opponents, according to the Odds Shark NFL Database.

The Falcons will play the Washington Redskins (2-2) at home and have been one of the highest-scoring teams in the league this year. Even though the Redskins are coming off a 23-20 win over the Philadelphia Eagles as three-point home underdogs, they have struggled on the road lately.

Washington is only 1-14 SU and 4-11 ATS in its past 15 games as underdogs away from home.

The Patriots visit the Dallas Cowboys (2-2) in an ironic spot, as the team did not originally think it would have quarterback Tom Brady available due to the four-game suspension he was issued for his role in the Deflategate scandal.

Instead, Brady’s suspension was revoked before the season, and it is Dallas quarterback Tony Romo who will miss the game due to a broken collarbone. The Cowboys are just 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games and will not cover this one either as 8.5-point home underdogs.
