BetUS.com is offering five free picks for NFL week five in which the Indianapolis Colts will attempt to come back from a horrid season that surprised everyone. Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison may have an extremely difficult time pulling the team out of the gutter this week, with 1-2 SU and ATS and a sad 17.3 points per game.
The Colts have averaged 249 yards this season, although it has done little to gain the team points. This may be partially due to Joseph Addai putting 64.0 per game, but mostly because there is little to no defensive strategy this year. However, against the Texans in the upcoming game, the Colts have a definite chance of winning. For online sports betting, it would be wise to bet on the Colts rather than the Texans in the over.
Instead the Titans lead the AFC South at 4-0 ATS and SU and averaging at 25.5 points per game and 11.5 per game against. The Titans will be matched against the Baltimore Ravens, who will give them a run for their money for sure. The Ravens are at 8-4 ATS in their last 12 games against the Titans. While the online betting trends work in favor of Baltimore, the Titans may be the better wager for online sports betting. The total has gone under in 5 of the last 7 Titan games and 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games on the road. The total has gone over in 8 of the last 10 Raven games, and Baltimore stands at 3-10 SU in their last 13 games.
The Titans however have shown extraordinary grit in this season, and oddmakers took notice to this, placing them as the favorite at -145 over +125.
As for the remaining teams in the early AFC games, oddsmakers have placed San Diego as the road favorite over Miami, at -270 over +230. The Chargers have a 6.5 point handicap over the Dolphins, although Miami annihilated the Patriots in the bye week. San Diego stand at 6-0-1 ATS in their past 7 games. Miami is 6-11-2 ATS in their last 19 games, 2-20 SU in their last 22 games, 2-20-1 SU in their last 23 games and have gone OVER in 6 of the last 8 games. Online sports bettors would be wise to invest on the Dolphins, as the Chargers are 0-6 SU against Miami.
