Week 5 of the NFL season is the first shortened slate of the year, with Atlanta, Chicago, Green Bay and Pittsburgh all on a bye week. 

That doesn't mean we don't have intriguing games to focus on, including a Thursday Night Football clash between division rivals, the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams. 

On Sunday, the festivities get underway early with Minnesota and Cleveland hooking up in London as part of the NFL's International Series. 

And to wrap things up, the Kansas City Chiefs visit the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday Night Football. 

Here’s a look at the opening NFL odds for Week 5 and early adjustments in the first 12 hours of action.
