Anleitungen » Picks against the spread for Week 5 NFL games

The 2018 NFL season is officially in full swing http://www.sanfrancisco49ersteamonline.com/joe-staley-jersey , which means regular season betting is back. I’m back for another year of picks in the Westgate SuperContest. SB Nation’s partners over at Odds Shark are sponsoring my entry again. The contest requires selecting 5 games each week and picking them against the spread. I had a modest but still positive 3-2 week in Week 5. I’d always like better, but if you hit on 60 percent for the season, all is well. I now sit at 11-8-1 for the season. I did better overall, going 11-2-2 on my overall picks against the spread.The San Francisco 49ers are a 3.5 or four point favorite at most sportsbooks, with the SuperContest setting the line at four. I was tempted http://www.49erscheapstore.com/george-kittle-jersey-cheap , but I don’t like this particular divisional matchup for picks purposes. I think the 49ers likely win either way, but I could see this coming down to a game-winning field goal. I’d love to see the 49ers thump Arizona and make a bit of a statement, but I can’t shake this feeling it’s a little closer than that.Here are my five SuperContest picks for Week 5.Jaguars (+3) over CHIEFSBILLS (+3.5) over TitansLIONS (+1) over PackersTEXANS (-3) over CowboysWashington (+6.5) over SAINTSI’m leaning heavily on underdogs this week. Week 3 saw the dogs barking, while Week 4 settled back into more familiar favorites. I think we might see some reversion back to the dogs.That Jaguars-Chiefs matchup could end up being the best game of the week. You get a dynamic Chiefs offense against a stout Jaguars defense. Blake Bortles gets a crack at an awful Chiefs offense, and I think that could keep this sufficiently close. This is Patrick Mahomes’ toughest challenge of the season Youth Weston Richburg Jersey , and I think the Jaguars defense contains him enough that we see Jacksonville win outright.The week ends with a fun Monday Night Football contest featuring an old friend and an old foe. We remember Alex Smith vs. Drew Brees from the 2012 NFC divisional round playoffs, and I think we see Smith come out ahead once again in this matchup. It will be a close one, and while New Orleans could hold on for the W, the Washington defense should give Brees a bit of trouble.I went 11-2-2 overall in Week 4. Here are all my picks for Week 5:PATRIOTS vs. Colts (+10.5): Colts — LOSSBROWNS vs. Ravens (-3): RavensCHIEFS vs. Jaguars (+3): JaguarsBILLS vs. Titans (-3.5): BillsPANTHERS vs. Giants (+7): GiantsJETS vs. Broncos (+1): JetsSTEELERS vs. Falcons (+3): SteelersLIONS vs. Packers (-1): LionsBENGALS vs. Dolphins (+6.5): DolphinsCHARGERS vs. Raiders (+4.5): Chargers49ERS vs. Cardinals (+4): 49ersEAGLES vs. Vikings (+3): VikingsSEAHAWKS vs. Rams (-7): SeahawksTEXANS vs. Cowboys (+3): TexansSAINTS vs. Washington (+6.5): Washington The San Francisco 49ers put on a show on offense and defense on Thursday Night Football against the Oakland Raiders, but it was special teams that took home a weekly award. The NFL announced players of the week for Week 9 Cheap Fred Warner Jersey , and punter Bradley Pinion was named special teams player of the week. He had three punts against the Raiders, averaging a gross of 54.7 yards per punt and a net of 48. His long was 64 yards, which was downed at the Raiders 6 yard line.Pinion has been a fairly quiet presence for the 49ers. He ranks 26th in gross average and 30th in net average. Football Outsiders ranks the 49ers 22nd in punting, which covers both Pinion’s work and that of his coverage unit. Pro Football Focus ranks him 17th in their punting grade.The big question for the 49ers punt coverage unit heading into Week 10 and beyond is how the unit will operate without Raheem Mostert at one of the gunner positions. He has been arguably the team’s best special teams player the past two seasons. Last year, things went south for punt coverage after he got hurt Youth Brock Coyle Jersey , and so that will be a unit to keep an eye on the next seven games. The Giants punt returners have not been particularly good, with Quadree Henderson ranking 31st among any player who has returned a punt.
