BTW - Down and Out? Last week, five teams were 0-3: Steelers, Broncos, Dolphins, Jets and Bengals. The Cardinals were 0-2-1.

And then there were five with Steelers off the schneid at Bengals expense, while Broncos, Dolphins and Cards all bit the dust. Jets still 0-3 with the bye.

Up and In? Last week, seven teams were 3-0: Patriots, Bills, Cowboys, Rams, 49ers, Packers and Chiefs. The Lions were 2-0-1.

And then there were three as Cowboys, Rams, Packers, Bills and Lions all bit the dust. Patriots and Chiefs are lucky to be 4-0 as both should have lost to the Bills and Lions respectively. NE blocked punt ret for TD = 7 pt swing, DET fumble at GL returned 99 yds for KC TD = 14pt swing. 49ers still 3-0 with the bye.

BYE: DET, MIA
OFF BYE: NYJ, SF

Week 5 LOX: It's a week of MorLOX and perhaps MaaLOX, taking the team with the number...

10/6 1:00 ET CHI -4.5 @ OAK (London)
10/6 1:00 ET NE -13 @ WAS
10/6 1:00 ET NYJ @ PHI -13
10/6 1:00 ET TB +7 @ NO
10/6 4:05 ET DEN +7 @ LAC

Hint: above as a five team 6pt teaser at 4 to 1.

As always we reserve the right to shop and take the best line that came available, early, opening or otherwise.

Although the line differs on occasion from the links above, try Jeff Sherman's Twitter feed, as the manager of the Westgate Super Book, he might just know a little sumpin.


Amazingly close to what actually went down... way back on May 17, 2019, CG Technology posted opening betting spreads on weeks 1-16.  
Weekly "advance" lines from the Westgate can be found here and here, and weekly look ahead's from Fairway Jay.


For excellent insight, we recommend referring to Case Keefer at the Las Vegas Sun, Jamey Eisenberg at CBS, and the Miami Herald's Greg Cote, as from our experience they might just know a little sumpin, sumpin.
