NFL Week 5 Odds and Betting Lines: Public Fading Raiders on Monday vs Chiefs

8:30 A.M. ET, THURSDAY, OCT. 6: Giants QB Daniel Jones was active in practice Wednesday, which bumped this spread from as high as Packers -9.5 to -7.5 on Thursday morning. Both Jones and backup Tyrod Taylor are dealing with injuries heading into this game in London Sunday morning. The total climbed a tick from 40.5 to 41 points.

9:30 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 5: With the possibility of the Giants being forced to start a third-string QB with both Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor injured, this spread is creeping upwards. Green Bay sits as high as -9.5 at some offshore operators while most books are dealing Packers -8.5. DraftKings books are reporting 51% of bets but 71% of the handle on the Cheeseheads for this game in London. The total is sitting as low as 41 points.

2:50 P.M. TUESDAY, OCT. 4: After opening at Packers -7.5, this number bumped up slightly to -8 on Tuesday. There are a couple of books flirting with -8.5, so if you're planning to bet the Packers and you're seeing -8 it's probably best to jump on it now. The total is at 41.5 across all major books.

9:45 P.M. SUNDAY, OCT. 2: The Packers and Giants cross the pond for a London game on Sunday morning. Green Bay didn’t look great in an overtime win over New England at home in Week 4, yet still opened on the other side of a touchdown at -7.5. New York had both QBs Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor get injured in a win over Chicago. However, Jones told the media, “I’m good,” after the game. This total opened as low as 41 points and has climbed to 41.5 on Sunday night.

9:45 P.M. SUNDAY, OCT. 2: Buffalo opened just below two touchdowns and was quickly bet up to -14 at many books Sunday night. The Steelers could give rookie QB Kenny Pickett the first start of his pro career in Week 5 after swapping out Mitchell Trubisky for the first-year passer in Week 4. This total opened at 47 points and has moved up to 47.5. 

9:30 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 5: With injuries to the Chargers' offensive line and the Browns potentially missing standouts on the defensive line, this spread has moved from Los Angeles -2.5 to -3 but isn’t venturing much further and some respected operators are back to Browns +2.5. The total has gone for a ride, opening as low as 47 points and running to as high as 49.5 on Sunday night before buyback on the Under sunk it back to the opening number. DraftKings books are reporting 63% of early bets on the Over and 55% of the handle banking on a high-scoring finish in Cleveland.

9:45 P.M. SUNDAY, OCT. 2: Cleveland opened as a field goal underdog at home in Week 5, and some books are dealing the Browns as low as -2.5 on Sunday night. The total was the big news, hitting the board as low as 47.5 points and drawing instant Over money, which steamed this number as high as 49.5 points within minutes of opening.

8:30 A.M. ET, THURSDAY, OCT. 6: As of Thursday, the Jaguars are -7 in the market consensus but there are outliner books dealing Jags -6.5 and Texans +7.5. PointsBet sportsbooks are reporting 61% of bets and 58% of the handle on Jacksonville at home. This total has come down a bit off the opener, sitting at 43.5 points.

10:00 P.M. SUNDAY, OCT. 2: Following an ugly day in Philadelphia, the Jaguars opened as 7-point home favorites to Houston in Week 5. Some online shops were as high as Jacksonville -7.5. The total hit the board at 44 points and climbed to 44.5.

2:54 P.M. TUESDAY, OCT. 4: After flirting with -6.5 on Monday, all major books returned to Vikings -7 on Tuesday morning. The total came down slightly from 44 to 43.5.

2:09 P.M. MONDAY, OCT. 3: Most sportsbooks are holding on at Vikings -7 for this Sunday rivalry game, but there are a couple of key shops (including DraftKings) that have slimmed the number to -6.5. The total bumped slightly Monday morning to 44.

10:00 P.M. SUNDAY, OCT. 2: The Vikings travel back home after a slim win in London to host the rival Bears in Week 5, giving Chicago a touchdown. Chicago fell to 2-2 with a loss at New York. Neither offense has been able to break through, giving way to an opening total of 43 points.

9:30 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 5: Third-string Patriots QB Bailey Zappe looks like he will get his first NFL start in Week 5 against the Lions, with starter Mac Jones out and backup QB Brian Hoyer unlikely to play after a concussion last Sunday. This spread has bounced between Pats -2.5 and -3 but the total has sunk from 46.5 to 45.5 points.

10:00 P.M. SUNDAY, OCT. 2: The Patriots could be down to third-string QB Bailey Zappe after Brian Hoyer (who was playing in place of injured starter Mac Jones) left Sunday’s game vs. Green Bay with a head injury. The rookie held his own and now New England is as high as -3 hosting the Lions in Week 5. Detroit is coming off a wild shootout loss with Seattle and has been instant Over action for bettors. However, with the status of the Lions’ skill players up in the air and the Pats QB situation a mess, this total has ticked down to as low as 46.5 on Sunday night. 

8:30 A.M. ET, THURSDAY, OCT. 6: Saints QB Jameis Winston and WR Michael Thomas didn’t practice Wednesday, but RB Alvin Kamara was back and said he will play in Week 5. Sharp bettors took New Orleans -4 earlier in the week and ran this spread up as high as -6, with that spread back down to -5.5 at most shops. This total has jumped from an opener of 42.5 points to as high as 45.5 with the Seahawks’ sudden offensive surge but also bringing a very bad defense to the Big Easy on Sunday.

2:30 P.M. MONDAY, OCT. 3: The pointspread for this contest bumped up slightly on Monday morning from Saints -5 to -5.5 across the industry. The total jumped after sharps hammered the Over Sunday night and Monday morning, popping from 43.5 to 45.5.

10:00 P.M. SUNDAY, OCT. 2: The Saints hit the board between -4 and -5.5 across the industry and started to settle into a consensus of -5 with questions still surrounding NOLA’s skill positions, namely QB Jameis Winston, who sat out Week 4. This total opened as low as 42.5 and has come up to 43.5 after Seattle’s high-scoring outing with Detroit.

9:30 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 5: With Teddy Bridgewater getting the start at QB for Miami in place of the injured Tua Tagovailoa, the Dolphins sit between -3.5 and -3 across the industry. According to DraftKings sportsbooks, 72% of bets and 94% of money is on Miami in Week 5. The total is sitting at 44 points.  

10:00 P.M. SUNDAY, OCT. 2: Zach Wilson returned to the Jets lineup with mixed reviews but did lead Gang Green to victory over Pittsburgh on the road in Week 4. New York now faces a Miami team coming off a much-needed mini bye following a loss last Thursday in which starting QB Tua Tagovailoa suffered a scary head injury. Backup Teddy Bridgewater is expected to start for the Dolphins, who slimmed from -6 on the look-ahead line to -3 on the official Week 5 opening line. This total is at 44.5 points.

8:45 A.M. ET, THURSDAY, OCT. 6: With Falcons do-it-all weapon Cordarrelle Patterson on the IR after knee surgery, the Buccaneers jumped from -8.5 to as high as -9.5. DraftKings, which is dealing the higher end of this spread, is reporting 56% of bets and 83% of money backing Tampa Bay. This total dropped as much as a point from 48.5 to 47.5.

9:30 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 5: After a better showing on offense in Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs, Tampa Bay has been bet up from an opener of -7.5 to as high as -9.5 before buyback on the Falcons trimmed the spread to Bucs -8.5. DraftKings books are reporting 54% of money on Tampa Bay while 51% of bets are on Atlanta.

Somewhat shockingly, both of these teams come into Sunday's matchup tied at the top of the NFC South standings at 2-2. The Buccaneers fell to a disappointing 2-2 after a 41-31 loss on Sunday Night Football against the Chiefs. On the other hand, the Falcons are a surprising 2-2 (4-0 ATS) after thier 23-20 win at home against the Browns. The Bucs opened as 8-point home favorites and bumped up early to -8.5. The total hit betting boards at 48.5.

12:37 P.M. ET, SATURDAY, OCT. 8: The Titans will officially be without WRs Treylon Burks and Jahan Dotson for Sunday's game at the Commanders. The market has adjusted late in the week from Titans -2.5/-3 down to -1 as of Saturday morning. The total sits at 43 heading into game day.

9:30 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 5: After the opener bounced between Tennessee -2.5 and -3, the market has hit a consensus of Titans -2.5. Tennessee has a number of injuries on defense and is also likely losing WR Treylon Burks for Week 5 and beyond. DraftKings sportsbooks are reporting 88% of bets and 66% of money on the Titans, yet this spread is clinging to Commanders +2.5.

10:30 P.M. SUNDAY, OCT. 2: Washington opened as low as +2.5 and jumped to +3 with early money fading a sliding Commanders team, losers of three straight heading into Week 5. Tennessee scored a big divisional win over the Colts on Sunday but did lose rookie WR Treylon Burks to a leg injury. This total hit the board at 42.5 points. 

After the 49ers' 24-9 demolition of the Rams on Monday Night Football, the point spread for Sunday's meeting with the struggling Panthers lengthened from a look-ahead number of Niners -4.5 to a fresh opening spread of Niners -6.5. The total held steady at 39.

9:30 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 5: The Eagles got as high as -6 but with injuries on both sides of the ball, namely the offensive line, this spread has ticked down as low as Philadelphia -5. DraftKings books are reporting one-sided action on the Eagles with 69% of bets and 71% of handle on the visitor in Week 5. 

10:30 P.M. SUNDAY, OCT. 2: The undefeated Eagles opened as 5.5-point road favorites in Arizona and money quickly bumped that as high as -6 at some books. Philadelphia escaped a wet and wild game vs. Jacksonville, thanks in large part to five turnovers from the Jaguars. The Cardinals had their best showing of the season in a 26-16 win at Carolina. This total opened at 49 points and has since moved to 49.5 across the market.

8:45 A.M. ET, THURSDAY, OCT. 6: Sharp play on the Rams on Wednesday morning tacked an extra point onto this spread, moving Los Angeles from -4.5 to -5.5. PointsBet sportsbooks are reporting heavier action on Dallas as an underdog, with 61% of bets and 65% of handle on the Cowboys.

After getting their teeth kicked in, 24-9, by the 49ers on Monday Night Football, the Rams reopened as 4.5-point home favorites over the visiting Dallas Cowboys for this Sunday afternoon game. The total opened back up at 43.5, two full points lower than the look-ahead Over/Under of 45.5.

9:30 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 5: The Bengals +3.5 spreads have dried up with the market down to Ravens -3 with a ton of juice tacked on. DraftKings sportsbooks are reporting 65% of bets and 75% of money is on Baltimore, yet the line has moved away from that action. This total is sitting at 48.5 points.

10:30 P.M. SUNDAY, OCT. 2: Baltimore opened as high as -3.5 hosting Cincinnati for a divisional game on Sunday Night Football. Action came in on the Bengals and moved some shops to +3 while others are dealing an expensive +3.5 on the road underdog. This total opened at 48.5 points and dropped to 47.5 on Sunday night. 

1:00 P.M. ET, MONDAY OCT. 10: With just under seven hours to Monday Night Football, the spread is juiced to Chiefs -7, with some books offering -7.5 at plus money. For the total, It sits at 51.5 at the majority of sportsbooks, with some offering 52. At DraftKings, 81% of bets coming in are on the Chiefs -7 along with 86% of handle, and the total of 52 has 70% of bets on the Over and 55% of money.

8:45 A.M. ET, SUNDAY OCT. 9: A day out from Monday Night Football, the Chiefs are either juiced 7-point chalk or as high as -7.5 at some respected online operators. BetMGM books have taken one-sided play on Kansas City, with 87% of ticket count and 85% of money banking on the Chiefs. This total opened at 51 points and is now sitting as high as 52, with 78% of bets and 67% of money on the Over.

9:30 A.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 5: The Chiefs have dropped from -7.5 to 7-point chalk for this AFC West war, and the total has moved off sharp play on the Under earlier in the week. The Over/Under number got as high as 52.5 points and pro groups grab the Under, forcing a move to 51 by books across the industry.

The Chiefs looked very good in their 41-31 victory over the Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football and the Raiders also picked up a win (their first of the season) over the underwhelming Broncos. The look-ahead pointspread was Chiefs -6.5 and reopened at -7.5 after Kansas City's great performance in Tampa Bay. The total opened at 51.
