NFL Week 5 Matchups
Four weeks into the 2010 NFL season there is already some serious head-scratching going on. There is only one undefeated team left; the 3-0 Kansas City Chiefs, the NFC East and West each have three teams at 2-2, Indianapolis has already lost as many games as it did all last season, and St. Louis is in the midst of a two game winning streak. One can only imagine what surprises are in store for this week.

Chicago (-2.5) at Carolina
Over/Under: 35
Chicago QB Jay Cutler’s status for this game remains uncertain after getting knocked out of the Giants game with a concussion. Carolina WR Steve Smith will most likely miss this game with a high ankle sprain.

Over/Under: 43
St. Louis rookie quarterback Sam Bradford has already led the Rams to twice as many wins as last year’s team had the whole year.
