Week5 in the NFL featured a number of games that had online sportsbooks serving updouble-digit favorites. Advice from sports betting handicapping veterans willoften tell you to avoid NFL betting big favorites, but this season in the NFL,parity doesnt seem to be ruling the league, as when you look at the bottom ofthe standings, there are truly some of the worst teams in recent NFL memory. TheBetRepublic.com sports betting TV program on Thursday and Sunday looked at allthe games, giving out their top NFL Betting Picks of the week, and breaking down each of the biggames, including these big favorites. TheNew York Giants were favored by 16 ½ points, even with Eli Manning nursingplantar fasciitis, but had no problem covering against the Raiders. The onlinesports betting public didnt blink laying the big points, as the Giantswere one of the most wagered on teams of the week. NFL Betting Picks - Teams Theteam who were the biggest public favorites was the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikeswent into St. Louis as 10 ½ point favorites and they easily covered the spreadas well. Not to be outdone, the Eagles were listed as 14 ½ point favorites athome to Tampa Bay, a game that produced yet another cover for the heavy chalk.That left the Pittsburgh Steelers as the only double-digit favorite that didntcover the number, as they beat the Detroit Lions by eight points (28-20) laying10 ½. TheGiants are as good as any team in the league and should have been limited toten guys on the field against Oakland. If the NFL followed the lead of theEnglish Premier League and promoted and relegated teams in and out of theleague to different divisions based on team success, then the Raiders wouldstart next season in the CFL West division trying to man up against theSaskatchewan Roughriders. TheGiants outgained the Raiders 483-123 total yards. In their previous games, theRaiders have only accumulated 165 total yards against Houston, 137 against theBroncos, and even in their win against the Chiefs they were outgained 409-166.The Raiders need a makeover like no other team has ever before gone under theknife. TheLions started to make their climb out of the basement by firing the coachingstaff and ridding themselves of GM Matt Millen. The Raiders have the challengeof needing to get rid of its owner or at least his meddling influence. Al Davis is one of the great NFL owners ofall time, but maybe its time he headed off to the lawn bowling courts and lefthis team up to some savvy football minds. Therewas some concern that the Vikings might have a letdown after getting two bigwins against the Packers and 49ers. Letdowns are common in the NFL after biggames, and teams that by all accounts would usually spank an inferior opponent,do well to squeak by with a win in this kind of matchup. The Vikings havecovered in every game this season and were well prepared to play up to theirtalent and not the Rams. The Rams have scored only one offensive touchdownthis season and have given up at least 35 points in three straight games. TheVikings jumped out to an early 14-0 lead and cruised to a 38-10 win to easilycover the 10 ½. A bright spot for the Rams was Marc Bulger getting into thegame in the fourth quarter after being out with an injury for the last fewweeks and going 7-7 for 88 yards and a TD. Bulger will probably play next weekin Jacksonville in a scintillating matchup. The Vikings host the Ravens next week presentingtheir toughest test to date. The Bengals in Baltimore surprised the Ravens in agame to decide first place in the division. The Ravens were almost double-digitfavorites with the line as high as 9 1/2. The last second TD from Carson Palmer to AndreCaldwell could well have been a statement moment for Palmer. He is still tryingto reclaim his status as one of the top quarterbacks in the league. He has nowguided the Bengals to four wins in a cardiac kids fashion. The Bengals havewon their last three games by three points and have a penchant for last minuteheroics. A bigger surprise than their defense or Palmers re-emergence is thatrunning back Cedric Benson leads the league in rushing. The Bengals are forreal having dispatched the Steelers and the Ravens and Pack on the road. TheEagles got Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook back from the infirmary in timeto torch the Buccaneers 33-14. McNabb finished 16 of 21 and his QBrating of 157.2 was the second highest in his career and also led the team with30 yards rushing. If McNabb stays healthy, the Eagles will start to put up somebig numbers in coming weeks. Philadelphia travels to Oakland next week in agame that you might want to keep the children out of the room. All four teams that had a bye the previous week wontheir games in Week Five with the Panthers downing the Redskins 20-17, theFalcons throttling the 49ers 45-10 and the Cardinals hanging on to beat Houston 28-21. ThePanthers were the only team that didnt cover the line as they were posted as 3½ favorites. The Saints, Bears, Packers and Chargers had a bye this week andshould be considered as good opportunities to win in Week Six. The Denver Broncos still continue to stun the NFLafter its last minute and overtime heroics against the Patriots. Josh McDanielsmight not get a sniff at coaching in a lot of high school programs because ofhis age and relative lack of experience and yet he and his Broncos are theleagues biggest surprise and will be a force to be reckoned with before all issaid and done. The Broncos should have had to play with leather helmets tomatch the pre-WWII uniforms. No matter what theyre wearing, McDaniels schooledhis mentor and has surged to the front for Coach of the Year honors. Jacksonville and the 49ers were both exposed thisweek suffering blowout losses. All is good in Seattle with the return ofunderrated QB Matt Hasselbeck. He threw four TDs and looked in completecontrol against the Jaguars. The embarrassing loss by the 49ers to Atlantaallows both the Seahawks and Arizona back in the race in the West. As long asSeattle can dress Hasselbeck they have a shot at the division title. The Colts and Peyton Manning finished off theSunday card, putting on a clinic in their win over the Titanics. The only goodnews for the rest of the league is that Manning tweaked his knee. The bad newsis that it isnt serious and he has a bye week to fully recover. The Colts willget some starters back after the bye including Bob Sanders, just in time toface off against the Rams. Any bets on Manning getting his 6thstraight 300-yard game? The season is rounding into form and its startingto shape up like a Manning versus Manning Super Bowl. Let the hype begin.
