Los Angeles Chargers (2-2) @ Cleveland Browns (2-2)
LAC -2 // O/U 47.5
We’ve seen a tremendous amount of parity this year, and this is a battle between two of the best 2-2 teams out there. That was a sad sentence to type out. The Chargers have dealt with major injuries in their offense, specifically a dominant 1-2 punch of Herbie/Keenan. The Browns run game matches up perfectly against a middle of the pack Chargers run D that struggled significantly last year. The Chargers opened up as early 4 point favorites, and the line has slowly declined for the road team, don't be surprised if Cleveland tries to out physical LA.

Detroit Lions (1-3) @ New England Patriots (1-3)
NE -3 // O/U 46.5
Beware of the Zappe Attack. A battle of two 1-3 teams making the pick ‘em this week kind’ve says everything you need to know about the week 5 matchups.. They’re awful. The Lions will likely be left without D’Andre Swift and Amon-Ra St Brown for another week and the Patriots might be entering Sunday with Bailey Zappe under center. The Lions have hit the over in all 4 weeks, mainly because their defense has been playing at a NCAA level. This is going to be an ugly one, but Dan Campbell on the screen always makes me feel better.

Cincinnati Bengals (2-2) @ Baltimore Ravens (2-2)
BAL -3.5 // O/U 48
The Bengals have done a great job rebounding from a disastrous start, and finally we get a Sunday Night Game that should be one of the week's best. Joe Burrow still enamors America with his pre-game fits but has yet to give us the Joe Cool on field performance that the people are dying to see. The Ravens pass defense ranks dead last currently, and Tee Higgins seems to be finally ascending. Lamar at home against a division rival is always fireworks as well. I’m feeling a potential perfect storm shootout match this weekend, we all know NFL fans need that after that disgusting Broncos Colts game on Thursday.
Ryan: Over 48
Vince: Ravens -3.5

Las Vegas Raiders (1-3) @ Kansas City Chiefs (3-1)
KC -7 // O/U 51.5
What Raiders team are we going to get this week? The harsh reality is they’re 2-8 in their last 10 against the Chiefs on the road. Patrick Mahomes seems to be fully dialed in after literally toying with one of the best secondaries in the league last week, putting up 41 on primetime. The scariest part here is the Chiefs top 2 rushing options are both averaging 5.0 yards per carry. Regardless of how this looks on paper, Vegas has a game changer in Davante Adams, and if Derek Carr can play to his contract they have a shot.
Ryan: Chiefs -7
Vince: Chiefs -7
