NFL Week 5, Tips and Previews
Rams vs. Seahawks
October 7th
What a cracking prime time fixture we are in for when the Los Angeles Rams butt heads with the Seattle Seahawks.
Matt Stafford and Russell Wilson are set to compare their talent when the two gun quarterbacks go toe-to-toe.
Stafford has been in hot form this season apart from a blip on the radar he had in the Rams first loss last week against the undefeated Arizona Cardinals, while Wilson has been in solid form guiding his side to a 2-2 ledger.
Wilson is yet to throw an intercept this season and his efficiency is what is keeping the Seahawks in the playoffs race. Incredibly, he is actually throwing at a career-best completion rate of 72.7% leading into this important clash against the Rams.
The Los Angeles Rams defence must be on its game all night if it is to find a way to stop Wilson and an Seahawks offensive line which poses a genuine high-scoring threat.
The Rams do have the runs on the board from a results perspective this season and the loss to the Cardinals is nothing the competition did not see coming despite starting favourites.

Chiefs vs. Bills
October 11th
As much as this game between the Chiefs and Bills will set the season up for both teams, the market in this looks completely wrong.
The Chiefs needed to find an extra gear against a rebuilding Philadelphia Eagles, while the Bills absolutely punished Houston with a crushing 40-0 victory.
Kansas does not even look like a shadow of the team which started Super Bowl favourite last year, while the Bills have shown it is a genuine Super Bowl threat this year on the back of not only quarterback Josh Allen, but a very strong defensive unit.
One of the main factors we are probably seeing the Chiefs installed as the -3.5 favourites is due to the 26-17 result in their favour against Bills last year as well as this being home a game.
The Bills look a completely different outfit to last season and represent great value at $2.4.
SUGGESTED BET:
Bills head to head at $2.4

Ravens vs. Colts
October 12th
AFC North leader Baltimore faces a bubbly Indianapolis who is fresh off its first win for the season after a 27-17 result over an error-ridded Miami on the road.
The Colts put injury and poor form behind them in a solid display against the Dolphins, but face a stern test against a humming three-and-one Ravens team who have not lost since the opening game of the season.
Baltimore put the defensive clamps down on the Broncos to hand them their first dealt last week in a 23-7 result which sees the Ravens poised for a playoffs berth should it keep this form up.
Carson Wentz is going to have a tough time of it in the gun as he deals with a sprained ankle and a Ravens defence that has produced 10 sacks for the season.
The Colts got their birthday present last week, but this week looks like a box full of coal under the tree.
The Ravens boast the superior team and will prove better on the night.
SUGGESTED BET:
Ravens -6.5 at $1.89
- NFL Prime Time Same Game Multi*
- Leg 1: Ravens -6.5
- Leg 2: L. Jackson to score a TD
- Leg 3: Total points scored under 46.5
- Combined odds = $6.75
