Week 5 NFL Betting Lines and Game Previews

Week 4 of the 2015 NFL season is in the books and we are getting a clearer picture of the power players. In the AFC, there are three undefeated teams – the New England Patriots (3-0), Cincinnati Bengals (4-0) and the Denver Broncos (4-0). In the NFC, the Green Bay Packers, Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons all stand at 4-0. There are a few surprises as well – the Detroit Lions are 0-4, the Philadelphia Eagles are 1-3 and the pre-season darling Miami Dolphins look terrible at 1-3 (they just fired head coach Joe Philbin). It’s still early in the 2015/16 season. Momentum will change and injuries are sure to shift the balance of power as we move ahead.
