Week five in the NFL belonged to the underdog as nine teams that were getting points covered. Three teams; Kansas City, Washington, and Detroit covered but lost outright while six teams; Cleveland, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Denver, Miami, and Seattle all won outright. It wasn’t all good for the underdog as three teams; N.Y. Giants, Philadelphia, and Minnesota won and covered a double digit point spread.
For the second week in a row the over was the best play as eight games went over the total, five stayed under, and there was one push Washington @ Carolina at 37. For the most part the games stayed close to the total line either way as after five weeks the odds makers have fine tuned the numbers.

College football welcomed back bettors with a LaGarrett Blount right hand instead of a friendly handshake.
The opening week featured backdoor covers, favorites who forgot to score in the second half, a last-minute safety that affected a total and a meaningless touchdown on the game’s final play that hurt.
