NFL Picks Week 5: 3 Underdogs That Will Cover the Spread This Weekend

There are upsets every week in the National Football League. If there wasn't, what would be the point of watching the games?

That's the beauty of the game. Any team can win on any Sunday.

Some have better chances than others, and some just key in on better match-ups.

Here are three underdogs in Week 5 that will not only cover the spread, but walk away with a tally in the win column.

Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills have been one of the shocking teams this season. Currently they are sitting atop the AFC East with a 3-1 record.

The Philadelphia Eagles are sitting at the other end of the spectrum. After all the expectations, they are sitting at 1-3 at the bottom of the NFC East.

This weekend, however, the Eagles are three point favorites on the road against the Bills.

If Philadelphia doesn't turn around the fourth quarter woes, they could be looking at another disappointing loss.

Cincinnati Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals aren't a fantastic team by any means.

However, their defense has overachieved so far this year. They are amongst the top of the statistical rankings in most of the defensive categories. In total defense, they are actually the best in the league.

This weekend they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars, who, at a 1-3, record could possibly be the worst team in the NFL.

After four weeks, the Jaguars have scored just 39 points—a total worst in the NFL.

The Bengals are only one point underdogs, and facing an offense like the Jaguars, they should be able to come out on top.

Tennessee Titans

The Titans are currently one of the most under looked teams in the league.

Tennessee is sitting at a 3-1 record and are currently one of the biggest dark horses in the NFL. Their 14 points allowed per game is the best in the league.

Matt Hasselbeck has been on fire to start the year. His 104.7 quarterback rating is currently the fourth among starting quarterbacks.

Chris Johnson took a step last week in the right direction. It appears he is getting his feet back under him.

The Titans are three point underdogs to a wavering Steelers team. Look for Tennessee to make a statement.
