Edelman, McCarthy Back Bengals -7 and Ravens +3 in 3 NFL Week 5 Picks

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Oct 11

Summary

  • Three Week 5 bets led the segment: Cincinnati -7 at Miami, the Texans-Titans over, and Baltimore +3 against Atlanta.
  • 0-4 Miami drove the Bengals pick, with the Dolphins failing to score more than 13 points in any game and missing De'Von Achane.
  • Houston's 0-4 start still did not scare off an over play against Tennessee, which has stayed within one score in three of four games despite its own struggles.
  • Atlanta's recent surge set up the Ravens call, but Baltimore's 3-1 record and Derrick Henry's 7 touchdowns underpinned the case for taking the points.
  • The picks focused on early-slate value, with Cincinnati and the Texans-Titans total also flagged as likely teaser legs.
