Los Angeles Rams vs. Seattle SeahawksThursday, Oct. 3, 2019, 8:20 p.m.ETCenturyLink Field, SeattleTV Broadcast: FOX/NFLOpening NFL Odds: Season Record: Rams (3-1-0) vs Seahawks (3-1-0)That Jameis Winston and the Bucs were able to put up 55 points against the Rams is one of several takeaways from week 4 that have sent the on this much anticipated showdown for "Thursday Night
Jared Norris Jerseys Football" into a tizzy.
Oddsmakers initially pegged the Rams as the 1-point road favourites in their look-ahead NFL lines, but following the brouhaha at the Coliseum the Rams quickly fell out of favour. At the same time, Seattles win over the winle s Arizona Cardinals has renewed the publics faith in Seattle. As it is, the Seahawks are laying -2 on the with most sportsbooks.
There are a few reasons why NFL bettors may want to take the Rams on their here. LA Rams lead the head-to-head series with the Seahawks 7-3 SU, which includes winning the last three tilts, two of which were at CenturyLink Field. And since Sean McVay arrived on the scene in 2017, the Rams are 10-2 SU and 7-5 ATS against NFC West opponents and they are 6-2 SU following a lo s.
On the flipside, the Seahawks may be the smart bet because Ru sel Wilson is 14-2 SU and 12-3-1 ATS in primetime games at home since starting in the league
Khaleke Hudson Jerseys in 2012.
NFL Betting Trends:
LA Rams are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games on the road LA Rams are 6-2 SU in the last 8 games against Seattle The total has gone OVER in 6 of Seattle's last 7 games Seahawks are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games at home

Arizona Cardinals vs. Cincinnati BengalsSunday, Oct.6, 2019, 1 p.m. ETPaul Brown Stadium, CincinnatiTV Broadcast: FOXOpening
Troy Apke Jerseys NFL Odds: Season Record: Cardinals (0-3-1) vs Bengals (0-4-0)Neither the Cardinals nor the Bengals strike a convincing pose on the ahead of week 5 NFL betting, making this matchup a coin-to s for SU and ATS picks.
The Cardinals, while showing promise and potential, are still a developing team with a rookie quarterback and rookie head coach in Kliff Kingsbury. The offense is churning the yards but failing to convert them into
Jonathan Allen Jerseys meaningful points on the scoreboard.
Similarly, the Bengals are under the tutelage of a novice head coach Zac Taylor. To say the Bengals offense is struggling something awful is an understatement. Monday Night Football was a forgettable outing for Andy Dalton and Company. The 27-3 lo s highlights some of their many i sues on the scoreboard as well.
In short, there are more reasons why one wouldnt want to bet on either team SU or ATS than there are reasons to do so. Perhaps, a wager on the total is the best angle for profit on this game.
NFL Betting Trends:
Cardinals are 0-4-1 SU in their last 5 games Cardinals are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games against Cincinnati on the road Bengals are 3-6 ATS in their last 9 games at home Bengals are 4-5 SU in their last 9 home games
Key Injuries:

Buffalo Bills vs. Tenne see TitansSunday, Oct. 6, 2019, 1 p.m. ETNi san Stadium, NashvilleTV Broadcast: CBSOpening NFL Odds: Season Record: Bills (3-1-0) vs Titans (2-2-0)Josh Allen is in concu sion protocol following Sundays 16-10 lo s to the Patriots, an unfortunate turn of events for Buffalo that sees them fall out of favour in for Week 5s tilt in Nashville.
Look-ahead had the Titans marginally favoured at home (-1), but as soon as the curtain came down on week 4 the Titans were bet up to -3 acro s various sports betting platforms. That Tenne see got the better of Atlanta Falcons on the road seems to have helped their stock rise.
To be fair, beating the Falcons is hardly
Washington Commanders Jackets a ringing endorsement of Marcus Mariota and the Titans offense. Its not proof-positive of any improvement on that front, and those i sues that were glaringly obvious in week 2 and 3 against Indianapolis and Jacksonville, respectively, may very well resurface against a Buffalo defense that is legitimate.
Heck, the Bills defense gave Tom Brady fits at New Era Field made him look damn right pedestrian. So, betting the Bills in this game is not a bet on backup Matt Barkley but a bet on the Bills defense e sentially to give the Titans a run for their money to cover the point spread, if not serve up the upset.
NFL Betting Trends:
Titans are 6-3 SU in their last 9 games at home Titans are 4-5 ATS in their last 9 games at home Titans are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games at home when

Chicago Bears vs. Oakland RaidersSunday, Oct. 6, 2019, 1 p.m. ETTottenham Hotspur Stadium, LondonTV Broadcast: FOXOpening NFL Odds: Season Record: Bears (3-1-0) vs Raiders (2-2-0)Chicago Bears lost Mitch Trubisky to a shoulder injury in the first quarter against the Minnesota Vikings, but that did nothing to deter the defense from serving up the all-important W for Chicago to remain in contention in a tough . So, going into week 5, the Bears remain the favourites over the Oakland Raiders, albeit watered down slightly.
Kyle Allen Jerseys Vegas look-ahead had the Bears installed as the -6 favourites against the spread. Now, theyre laying -4 and taking a good chunk of the early NFL betting action coming down the wire.
The Oakland Raiders did earn an important if unexpected and against the win over the Indianapolis Colts on the road, but few are buying what theyre selling. Put it this way, theyll be hard pre sed to mastermind the upset in this game. Consider how poorly Derek Carr and the Raiders fared against the Minnesota Vikings in week 3. This matchup figures to be something similar given the Bears defense is ranked fifth in the league, one ranking better than the Vikings defense.
NFL Betting Trends:
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Oaklands last 5 games The total has gone UNDER in 7 of Chicagos last 8 games Bears are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games on the road Raiders are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games when playing Chicago

Joe Theismann Jerseys ll be available for week 5 vs Raiders in London.
OAK T Trent Brown (Hand) and QB Derek Carr (Leg) are listed as day-to-day and their availability for week 5 is up in the air. LB Vontaze Burfict suspended for the rest of the season following a head-on-head hit.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. New Orleans SaintsSunday, Oct.6, 2019, 1 p.m. ETMercedes Benz Superdome, New OrleansTV Broadcast: FOXOpening NFL Odds: Season Record: Bucs (2-2-0) vs Saints (3-1-0)The showdown between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints suddenly got interesting. Jameis Winston is coming off the game of his life while Teddy Bridgewater continues managing his role as the backup starter admirably.
Indeed, both Tampa Bay and New Orleans are coming
Darrell Green Jerseys off upsets in week 4. The Bucs upset the Rams 55-40 as the 10-point road underdogs. The Saints upset the Cowboys as the +2.5 home underdogs. The upshot of which is a refigured NFL betting market for this divisional clash.
What was initially a lopsided market is now a tightly cast game with the Saints laying 3-points or thereabouts depending on your choice sportsbook. Yet, its a complete to sup between this pair as far as SU and ATS betting goes.
Can Winston be trusted to keep the momentum going? Can Bridgewater continue simply managing games with the same level of succe s while Drew Brees looks over from the side-lines. Wouldnt bet the farm on either scenario trumping the other with any confidence.
NFL Betting Trends:
Saints are 6-4 SU in their last 10 games when playing Tampa Bay The total has gone OVER in 4 of Saints last 6 games when playing at home against Tampa Bay The total has gone OVER in 7 of Bucs last 10 games on the road Bucs are 5-3-2 ATS in their last 10 games on the road
