Week 5 of the NFL season followed suit with the first four weeks of the year. There were plenty of surprises and upsets, and yet another overtime game for the Cleveland Browns. Although the odds didn’t set the Packers as true favorites against the Lions, I think most spectators were shocked to see Green Bay come out and get manhandled in Detroit. The 31-23 final hardly does the Lions any justice. They were completely in control of the game from start to finish. The LA Rams and Kansas City Chiefs remained the league’s only undefeated teams (5-0), but the Rams needed to come from behind to edge the Seahawks in Seattle, marking LA’s first real chink in their armor. The Chiefs, on the other hand, looked spectacular in a dominating win over the Jags despite a 430 yard passing performance from Jacksonville’s Blake Bortles. Let’s see what we can look forward to this week!
The highlight of Week 6 looks to be the Sunday Night Football game between the Chiefs and Patriots. The Chiefs are undefeated and won their last trip to Foxborough, but you can bet the surging Patriots have had this game circled ever since the schedule game out. Kansas City scored 21 fourth quarter points last year on their way to a 42-27 upset of the then-defending Super Bowl Champions.
Other games with potential post-season implications include the Steelers at Bengals, Panthers at Redskins, Jags at Cowboys, and Rams at Broncos. There are a ton of tight lines this week with only 3 of 14 point spreads set at more than 3.5 points!
