The Week 5 NFL odds are out and ready to go, and here at Bankroll Sports, we are breaking down all of the NFL gambling odds for what should be another remarkable week of play on the gridiron.

Are there legitimately playoff teams that are huge underdogs on the Week 5 NFL betting lines? You bet there are! The biggest of those underdogs comes in what might be the best game of the week between the San Francisco 49ers and the Houston Texans. The Texans have dropped two games in a row, and they very well could be an 0-4 team at this point if not for a few breaks in the second halves of games. They haven’t had a game that this year in which they haven’t trailed in either the second half or overtime, and they are going on the road to take on the San Francisco 49ers. It’s a tough game for sure, but as proof as to how far these two teams have come of late… The last time these two met at Candlestick Park was in 2005, and the #1 pick in the NFL Draft was on the line in Week 17. Houston lost the game, won the #1 pick, and took DE Mario Williams, who has since left via free agency. The Niners did knock off the Rams last week, but is the sky still falling? For the losing team, dropping to 2-3 is going to leave a lot of questions to be answered. The Niners are giving a touchdown in one of the biggest NFL point spreads we have seen in a Texans game in quite some time.

Meanwhile, the favorites in the NFC East and the leaders in the clubhouse in the division, the Dallas Cowboys are going to be playing a tough battle against the Denver Broncos. Not only are the Cowboys also +7, but they are +7 at home! Denver though, has been mowing through teams, and it is on a pace to just shatter every single record known to man offensively. It’s really unreal to think of the numbers that QB Peyton Manning is putting up at this point with this team, and things are only going to get better and better as the second quarter of the season wears on. This is the first really tough road test of the season though, and it is one that many will be excited to see if the Broncos can figure out how to pass with flying colors.

And finally, the Detroit Lions, who are 3-1 through four games and sitting atop of the NFC North, are +6.5 on the road against the Green Bay Packers. Once again, this is a huge number, and it is one that is going to be tough to beat, even for a Green Bay team that took its bye week last week and is hoping to get healthy, especially at the running back position. With all three of its running backs getting banged up in the last couple of weeks, the Packers have some explaining to do in this one. We know that they’ll score some points through the air, but can they slow down QB Matthew Stafford and the gang? Stafford’s offense has looked fantastic thus far this year, and the Lions put up 40 last week against the high-octane Chicago defense.

The biggest favorites of the weekend though, are the St. Louis Rams. It’s tough to think that a team that hasn’t made the playoffs in quite some time is actually capable of laying 13 points, but without us even saying a thing, you know that it is the Jacksonville Jaguars that are coming to town. The Rams are on a long week of preparation for this game, and they are getting a lame team that is seemingly destined to go 1-15 or worse this year. QB Blaine Gabbert is the worst starting quarterback in the NFL, and it really doesn’t matter whether it is Gabbert or QB Chad Henne, the title is likely the same. If St. Louis doesn’t bounce back from its bad loss to San Fran in this one, there’s no way to fix this team. This is a get well game in every sense of the word for this defense.

Aside from these games that we have mentioned though, there isn’t a single point spread that has opened up at bigger than 4.5 points on Thursday or Sunday. The San Diego Chargers are giving 4.5 on the road against an Oakland Raiders team that just handed the Redskins their first win of the season last week. Oakland’s quarterback situation is still murky. QB Matt Flynn started last week against Washington, but we have to think that it is going to be QB Terrelle Pryor that is getting the call once again to start off on the Week 5 odds as long as he finishes passing his concussion tests.

The next two biggest NFL points spreads in Week 5 are both in primetime games. The second biggest spread of the week thus far pits the New York Jets at +8.5 against the Atlanta Falcons, while the Cleveland Browns are -3.5 against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football. We have to think that this is going to be the third straight start for QB Brian Hoyer, who has led the Browns to a pair of wins thus far on the season, which is more than we can say for QB Brandon Weeden, who was 0-2 in his two starts before getting hurt, and perhaps Wally Pipped.

(Note: This article is written as of Sunday evening. The current NFL betting odds for Week 5 are below. The games between the Patriots and Bengals and the Chiefs and Titans are both off the board at the moment and will be expected to open up later in the week.)

There are definitely some more quirks about the Week 5 NFL schedule that are just completely off the wall. Two more playoff teams from last year, the Baltimore Ravens and the Indianapolis Colts are both underdogs. The Colts are three-point dogs at home against the Seattle Seahawks, while the Ravens are +3 at the Miami Dolphins. The Indy/Seattle game is the far more interesting contest. It’s the second straight week that Seattle is going to have to fly a long ways to play a 1:00 ET game on the road, and it is going to come with a lot of offensive linemen not on the field. The Colts have continued to soar, as they have now rolled to two victories in a row after losing to Miami at home in Week 2, a loss that really had fans screaming that perhaps something was really wrong with this team. This will be one of the better games on the docket.

But the biggest quirk? The winless New York Giants are actually favored by two points at home against the Philadelphia Eagles. Giants fans, fret not! Yes, the G-Men are 0-4 this year, but if they win this game and the Cowboys lose as they are supposed to against the Broncos, they are going to be just a game back five games into the season. Now THAT’S how you know your division is brutal. In fairness to New York, this is the first game this season that the team is going to be favored in by more than a single point. The Eagles have been a wreck since their first half of the season, and wonder is certainly there if the rest of the league has figured out Head Coach Chip Kelly and his offense (or whether they are just exploiting his defense!).

The New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears are meeting in a contrast of styles. The Bears would much rather play a slowed down game that features a lot of defense, while the Saints are going to race up and down the field. Chicago watched its perfect start to the season go by the boards when it was beaten by the Lions last week in a game that was nowhere near as close as an eight-point final score suggests.

To round out the card, the Carolina Panthers are -1 on the road against the Arizona Cardinals, who perhaps aren’t getting all that much respect at 2-2. The Panthers are coming off of their bye week though, so they might have a few new tricks up their sleeve after the long week of rest.

Even with two games off the board at the moment, there is very little doubt as to what the highest ‘totals’ and the lowest ‘totals’ of the week are going to be. No game is going to end up being lower than that Thursday nighter between the Bills and the Browns. Hoyer and QB EJ Manuel don’t exactly put a lot of confidence in bettors, especially with as badly as Buffalo has managed to protect the rookie in the pocket this year. The number to beat is 41.5, and we think that it is very interesting to continue to see how games played with teams on short weeks #1 tend to be unpredictable and #2 tend to feature lower scoring games. The only game that is going to remotely close to this number this week is the one between the Rams and the Jaguars, mainly because the Jacksonville offense has now gone over 30 first half drives without a touchdown. Do keep in mind that the game between the Chiefs and the Titans could end up with a number lower than this if QB Jake Locker, who was injured on Sunday, is indeed out for the game.

On the other end of the spectrum, nothing should be all that surprising. Once again, the Broncos have one of the highest ‘totals’ of the week. And oh, why not? The team already has 179 points scored this season, which we’d be willing to bet could end up being fewer points than the Jaguars will score for the entire season. Depending upon the number you got, all four Denver games could have ended in covers, and all four Denver games have gone past the ‘total’, so the 55 shouldn’t even seem like that high of a number at this point.

The highest ‘total’ of the week though, pits the Giants and their sieve of a defense against the Eagles and their sieve of a defense. These two teams have combined to give up 831 yards and 71 points per game this year, and those are just downright bad numbers. Philly’s offense is still putting up plenty of numbers, but the defense is really holding this unit back in a big time way. The number to beat is 56, and not surprisingly, this is the biggest ‘total’ of the weekend.

Remember when the Lions and the Packers would easily have the highest ‘total’ in any given week if they played against each other on the NFL betting lines? 52 is a high number, but this time around, it’s just third best.

Week 5’s CFB schedule is out, and here at Bankroll Sports, we are going to be discussing some of the best college football odds that are going to be on tap for what should be another great weekend of action on the gridiron.

We’ll start with what should be a great game in the suddenly surging Pac-12. The Washington Huskies and the Stanford Cardinal are going to kick it off on Thursday night in what should be a great start to the weekend. With as good as the rest of the Pac-12 is this year, this is a very important game for both of these teams. We’ll see just how strong Stanford really is when it has to go on the road for this one just a week and a half after taking down the mighty USC Trojans, which should make this game a heck of a lot of fun. The Cardinal have opened up this week at just -7, proving that the oddsmakers believe that they have a real chance of getting beaten.

Speaking of teams that have all to play for, that’s what the BYU Cougars have to be thinking on Friday night when they are on national television once again to take on the Hawaii Warriors. The Cougs probably know that their season is just about over with in terms of producing anything special, as they were beaten by both the Utah Utes and Boise State Broncos in back to back weeks. Hawaii is gunning for the upset on the road in a nationally televised game, but it clearly is going to be an uphill fight from the start against a BYU team that has superior talent. The Cougs are laying 27.5 at the open this week, and they really shouldn’t be challenged.

There aren’t many games that pit a pair of ranked teams against each other this week, but one of the more vital ones is going to see the Ohio State Buckeyes take on the Michigan State Spartans. Michigan State is one of the three Big Ten teams that already have a loss at the hands of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish this year, and it is just trying to keep its spot in the Top 25. Alas, here come the ultimate spoilers from Columbus though, as the Buckeyes are trying to make life a living hell on all of the other teams that are indeed bowl eligible in the Big Ten this year. This will be the biggest test of the year for QB Braxton Miller to date, as he tries to prove that he is a Heisman Trophy type of candidate on the national stage. The Buckeyes are slender 2.5 point underdogs in East Lansing.

The night cap of games sees just a slew of great teams going on the road for what might be very, very dangerous outings.

We’ll start with the Florida State Seminoles, who are the talk of the town right now after taking down the Clemson Tigers with an incredibly impressive second half of play on national television. The schedule is relatively easy from here on out, but the boys in garnet and gold have to take on a foe that they haven’t had a great history against this week in the South Florida Bulls, who have been preparing for this game all year long. This could be a real fight to the death in Tampa Bay, though it might feel like a de facto home game for the Noles, who should travel well to a huge stadium that normally has a ton of empty seats. The Noles are -16, but there is a lot of sentiment that perhaps this could be a tremendous letdown game for the garnet and gold.

Meanwhile, there are a ton of other road favorites that are either ranked in the Top 25 or almost ranked in the Top 25 that are going to be playing primetime games.

The South Carolina Gamecocks, UCLA Bruins, Boise State Broncos, TCU Horned Frogs, Texas Longhorns, Oregon Ducks, and Louisville Cardinals are all on the road this week, and they are all expected to come away with wins. We know that they all won’t though, and it is only a matter of trying to figure out which ones are going to get picked off. Texas is the one that is probably in the most trouble, as it is just -3 on the road, and the rest of these teams are all double digit favorites.

There actually isn’t a team that is a bigger favorite this week than the Alabama Crimson Tide. Granted, it’s never a surprise to know that the Tide are the biggest favorites on the board, but what makes it weird is the fact that the point spread is only 31.5 against the Ole Miss Rebels. Alabama is the only team that is favored by at least 30 this week in FBS vs. FBS games, and this is coming in a conference game. For those that have watched SEC games for years and years, it’s odd for sure, to think that these games are featuring spreads of more than four touchdowns, but this Alabama team is obviously a lot better than your average team.

A whopping 21 games on the board this week feature college football pointspreads of seven points or fewer. That’s over double the amount that were on the board at the outset of Week 4, and it might be as close of a week in terms of competition as you will see for the rest of the season.

Week 5 of the 2010 NFL campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 5 NFL lines; both spreads and totals. Be sure to check out the free NFL picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend…

A very interesting week for NFL betting fans is ahead, as the football odds for Week 5 are out. Ironically, the biggest underdog on the board this week is the league’s last undefeated team, the Kansas City Chiefs. They’re coming off of their bye week and are clearly getting thoroughly disrespected in this duel with the Indianapolis Colts, as they are eight point pups. Indianapolis has plenty of reasons to be upset after losing to a 59 yard field goal at the end of last week’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and we all saw what this team did when it was angry the last time it was playing a game off of a defeat… QB Eli Manning doesn’t want to see his big brother, QB Peyton Manning again.

Once again, road favorites seem to be the norm for the week, as there are a slew of so called “better teams” that have to go on the road to try to snare wins against “lesser teams.”

The Cleveland Browns are one of the disrespected home underdogs on the NFL odds for Week Five, as they are three point pups to the Atlanta Falcons. Does this situation look familiar? Last week, the Brownies were three point dogs to open up against the Cincinnati Bengals as well, as they came away with the outright victory.

The biggest road favorites are the New Orleans Saints. The oddsmakers are taking a big chance on New Orleans, as this crew really doesn’t have much in the way of a running game right now with RB Pierre Thomas out of the lineup. The Saints struggled mightily with the Carolina defense last week. Arizona’s biggest problems have come on the road, where it has gotten crushed by both the Atlanta Falcons and the San Diego Chargers. This is at home though, and it seems like there are favorable NFL trends point towards the hosts as seven point underdogs on Sunday afternoon.

Last week, the NFL oddsmakers were burned by making the Tennessee Titans nearly full touchdown favorites at home against the Denver Broncos. HC Josh McDaniels’ crew came away with the outright upset by the count of 26-20, and now Tennessee has to head to “Big D” to fight with the Dallas Cowboys, who are still trying to salvage their season after an 0-2 start. Owner Jerry Jones’ men are favored by 6.5 points on the opening NFL lines.

The highest ‘total’ on the board this week is in the clash between the New York Giants and Houston Texans at 48. Neither team has had much success on defense in recent weeks, and the Texans offense is putting points on the board left and right against everyone that it faces.

The lowest ‘total’ of all the week 5 NFL lines used to be the Monday Night Football tussle between the Minnesota Vikings and the New York Jets, but after the news that the Chicago Bears were going to be without QB Jay Cutler, the ‘total’ between the Bears and the Carolina Panthers is only 33.

Week 5 of the 2010 college football campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 5 NCAA football lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 5 college football lines. Be sure to check out the free NCAA football picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend!

Many at the outset of the year thought that this was going to be the biggest week of college football betting action in quite some time. It will inevitably be known as “Separation Saturday” for a number of teams, as the top schools in the land seemingly all collide in what should be a real spectacle for NCAA football betting fans to feast their eyes and their wagers into.

The highlight game, of course, is going to be the duel at Bryant Denny Stadium between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Florida Gators. These two teams have split their last two encounters, both of which have been in the SEC Championship Game. The winner has moved on to the National Championship Game and won that encounter as well. This year, the meeting is just as crucial even though it won’t be as decisive as the SEC Championship. This could very well be the first of two meetings of these teams. Will HC Urban Meyer’s defense be able to stand up to the potent offense of the Crimson Tide? Can QB John Brantley go into one of the most hallowed stadiums in college football and come out with a victory? If he does, it will come as a huge upset, as the Gators are hefty nine point underdogs.

The ‘undercard’ game of sorts will be played at the Cotton Bowl this year, as the Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns will meet up. This duel sort of lost a bit of its luster last week when the Longhorns were crushed at home by the UCLA Bruins in a stunning 34-12 upset, but as we all well know, this is a game in which you can throw out the record books. These two teams just hate each other, and the winner of it seemingly always goes on to represent the Big XII South in the Big XII Championship Game. Just has been the case with the Alabama/Florida winner over the L/2 seasons, the winner of this game has played in back to back National Championships, but has been defeated by the SEC champs in both cases. The Sooners are only 3.5 point favorites in spite of the fact that they are now clearly the higher ranked team.

The big rivalry game between the Boston College Eagles and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish is also this weekend. These two teams hate each other about as much as two teams possibly can, and though this game doesn’t mean as much as it once did, don’t tell that to the teams involved. The Irish are 2.5 point road favorites, but inevitably, this game is going to come down to the very end regardless.

One of the biggest road favorites of the weekend are the TCU Horned Frogs, who are expected to easily roll over the Colorado State Rams. They are 33 point chalks even though they are on the road. The Horned Frogs are one of six favorites this week of at least 20 points. The biggest favorites, to no surprise though, are the Boise State Broncos. After rolling past the Oregon State Beavers last week, the Broncos are stunning 41.5 point favorites against the New Mexico State Aggies in Las Cruces.

Note: The week five NFL lines (sides and totals) from BetUS Sportsbook (100% signup bonus when you click here) are located at the bottom of this page if you do not wish to read our quick breakdown of the games.

Our quick rundown of the week five NFL spreads (which are displayed below); For the second week in a row the favorites dominated the underdogs, giving the public some confidence and making the bookmaker’s lives miserable. 10 out of 14 favorites (based on the opening week 4 NFL lines) won in week 4. Favorites were 11-5 in week 3 and 10-4 in week 4, making the underdogs overdue to cash in week 5 of the NFL season. Home-dogs did better overall on Sunday as they went 3-1 ATS. Overs/Unders were 8-5-1 ATS which continued to do damage to bookmakers. Looking at the week 5 NFL lines, you can certainly tell that the oddsmakers are aware of the favorites cashing, as 6 of the 13 week five spreads are favorites of 8½ or more and there are 4 huge favorites of 10½ points or more. The biggest road favorite in week five in the (2-2) Pittsburgh Steelers, who are giving 10½ points on the road vs. the (1-3) Detroit Lions. There are two massive 15 point favorites in the (4-0) New York Giants -15 @ (1-3) Oakland, which opened at 16 point, and the winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers are getting 15 from the (2-1) Philadelphia Eagles who will be getting their star-quaterback Donovan McNabb back. One game is still off the board in the (2-2) Jacksonville Jags who are playing at the (1-3) Seattle Seahawks, where quarterback Matt Hasselbeck’s status is still uncertain. The biggest home-dog of the week five NFL lines is the struggling (0-4) Kansas City Chiefs who are 8½ point dogs at home vs. the (2-2) Dallas Cowboys, who struggled in week 4 at Denver. Speaking of Denver, the (4-0) Broncos are also a home underdog as they are getting 3 from the New England Patriots. Another interesting week 5 matchup is the (2-1) Atlanta Falcons & the (3-1) San Francisco 49ers, where the 49ers are giving 2½ points at home. There are no matchups between two 4-0 teams this week. The week 5 schedule features a lot of heavily favored teams, playing some of the weaker, less-talented sqauds in the NFL. We like the dogs to prevail in week 5. We also like the unders to beat out the overs, where there are only two games with totals set under 40 points. Teams on bye this week include, Chicago, New Orleans, Greeen Bay, & San Diego.
