Steelers fans (and bettors) have never seen an underdog number like the one they face in Buffalo in Week 5, at least not since our regular season database creation in 1980.
Pittsburgh opened as 14-point dogs at Buffalo, which would surpass the 13 points they caught Sept. 6, 1992 at Houston (when they were the Oilers, not the Texans). And they have been feared in this situation through the years, double-digit dogs just 12 times since 1980 and winning outright five times.
Thursday sees plenty of UNDER streaks, the Cardinals have lost 7 in a row at home as they host unbeaten Philly, who have 5 straight at Arizona. Check out the Week 5 NFL betting trends report on key matchups and get the latest game odds and props (along with a whopper $1,000 bonus) at Draft Kings Sportsbook.

Seattle always wins on Thursday and usually covers as underdogs – so are the LA Rams really a great bet that everyone seems to think? What about Miami’s recent run of three SU victories in four games when they are double-digit underdogs – can that continue in Tampa Bay?
In the NFC North, the Lions never beat the Vikings, but Minnesota never covers as favorites. Check out the results of Trend Dummy’s deep database diving as we hit the first bye-week-related trend analysis as four teams are playing before a bye.

Feeling OVERwhelmed with all the OVERs happening? You might want to get used it – and turn a profit from it – for Thursday Night here in Week 5 as Tampa Bay has a ton of trends leaning that way.
The 39-23-1 run for OVERs through the first four weeks of the season is just one storyline for bettors. And Week 5 sees the introduction of pre- and post-bye-week handicapping research, which sees New Orleans as a team to consider strongly this week.
Week 5 sees some bad teams as big favorites (1-3 Dallas is -10 vs the Giants, 0-4 Houston is -6.5 vs Jacksonville and 2-2 Arizona is -7.5 at the Jets) and at least one good team that is an underdog (3-1 Cleveland is +2.5 at home to the Colts).
So whether you like the 17-1 ATS trend for the Saints or the 14-0 SU Baltimore run that turns into a 3-11 ATS run, we’ve got something for every trend lover in Week 5. Check out odds and welcome bonus offers at FanDuel and Draft Kings.
