Week 5 NFL Point Spreads

5) NY Jets (+7) at Jacksonville Odds

If you said before the start of the season that the Jets would be involved in a Top 5 game, you would have been laughed up. Instead, the Jets are 2-2 and both losses came in tough home games against New England and Indianapolis. New York has played very well on the road this year with wins over Tennessee and Buffalo.

Jacksonville is 2-2 and in the middle of a two game losing streak. The two road loses to Indianapolis and Washington were both games that they should have won, and this is a team that, historically, has struggled away from home. The Jaguars really need a win here before their bye-week. NFL Week 5 NFL Point Spread Jaguars (-7)

4) Washington (+4) at NY Giants Odds

Washington (2-2) got a huge overtime win over Jacksonville on Sunday, 36-30. A loss would not only have dropped them to 1-3, but they would have been 0-2 at home. Losing home games is not a formula to make the playoffs. Quarterback, Mark Brunell has looked very good the last two games, but this is a tough test on the road.

The Giants (1-2) had a week off to lick their wounds from a 42-30 loss at Seattle. That game was 42-3 at one point, so their 27-0 margin in the 4th quarter was absolutely meaningless. The Giants are desperate for a win in this game as they play at Atlanta and Dallas the next two weeks, two very tough games. Week 5 NFL Point Spread Giants (-4)

3) Baltimore (+3.5) at Denver odds

Baltimore is 4-0, but has been living dangerously the last two weeks, winning by a combined four points in two games, Quarterback, Steve McNair has made the difference in this team, leading them in to comeback wins which would not have happened under Kyle Boller.

Denver is 2-1 on the year and coming off a bye week. Their last game was a 17-7 drubbing at New England that was more dominant than the score suggests. Denver has only played one home game this year, a 9-6 win over Kansas City. Last year, they were undefeated at Invesco Field, but did lose to the Steelers in the AFC Championship game there. Week 5 NFL Point Spread Broncos (-3.5)

2) Pittsburgh (+3.5) at San Diego odds

Pittsburgh is 1-2 on the year, and may be the best 1-2 team in the history of the NFL. The defending champs need a win badly, but they have to have a much better effort from quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger. “Big Ben” is sporting a quarterback ranking of just 34.3 this year, and he has five interceptions versus no touchdowns.

San Diego is 2-1 after a 16-13 loss at Baltimore. The Chargers led the game late, but lost on the final drive. Quarterback Phillip Rivers keeps playing pretty efficiently, but this is a team that wants to rely on defense and their running game to win. San Diego’s defense is number one in the NFL by a pretty wide margin. Week 5 NFL Point Spread Chargers (-3.5)

1) Dallas (NL) at Philadelphia

This is another NFC East game, and they are all good because they are four very solid teams. The big story here is, obviously, the return of Terrell Owens to Philadelphia. Owens usually rises to the challenge, but he will be playing in front of a fired-up home crowd of epic proportions. Dallas is 2-1 on the year.

The Eagles are coming off a Monday Night home win over Green Bay that upped their record to 3-1. Quarterback, Donovan McNabb is going to be really stoked going against his nemesis in Owens, but he can’t let his emotions get the better of him, or the Cowboys will.
