NFL - WEEK 5
New York Jets (2-2) at Minnesota Vikings (4-0)
The Vikings have started the season strong, with an impressive record of 4-0. Their great start has been highlighted by Sam Darnold, who leads the league with 11 passing touchdowns.
The Jets have started the season 2-2, and while Aaron Rodgers has played well, they have struggled against high-pressure defences.
The Vikings also lead the league in sacks, with 17 so far this season, a stat which could be the decider in London. We’ll take the Vikings by a field goal. Check our New York Jets @ Minnesota Vikings markets here.
Prediction: Minnesota Vikings -2.5 @ 1.97
Dallas Cowboys (2-2) at Pittsburgh Steelers (3-1)
The Cowboys have started the season with a 2-2 record, but have been hit hard by injuries. Micah Parsons is doubtful, while DeMarcus Lawrence is already on the injured reserve. The defensive depth of the Cowboys could be tested.
The Steelers have started the season strong with a 3-1 record. They suffered a setback as favourites against Indianapolis last week, the Colts surprising with a 2 touchdown flurry in the first quarter. Despite a late rally, the Steelers fell 27-24.
Back in Pittsburgh, the Steelers will be looking to bounce back, and given the Cowboys injury concerns, we’ll pick them on spread. Check our Dallas Cowboys @ Pittsburgh Steelers markets here.
Prediction: Pittsburgh Steelers -2.5 @ 1.87
New Orleans Saints (2-2) at Kansas City Chiefs (4-0)
The Saints are coming off 2 disappointing losses in a row, falling to the Falcons last time out. They struggled offensively, with only their defence keeping the game competitive. There is a big step up in competition for them this week.
The Chiefs are flying so far this season with a 4-0 record. They had to come from behind last time out to beat the Chargers 17-10. The winning touchdown coming in the fourth quarter, better late than never for the defending champions.
Confidence is high in Kansas, and they are favourites to continue their opening winning streak with home advantage. Check our New Orleans Saints @ Kansas City Chiefs markets here.
Prediction: Kansas City Chiefs -5.5 @ 1.90
