NFL Week 5 Predictions: Don't Miss Out on These First-Look Tease Options for Week 5

NFL Week 5 Predictions: Don't Miss Out on These First-Look Tease Options for Week 5

It's never too early to start looking at tease options for this Sunday. It's just not. If we're being honest, I'm literally refreshing DraftKings on Sunday evenings waiting for the first lines to come out for the following week. You get the best numbers like that and even if you don't, you still get an idea of what the board looks like. It's never too early to gamble. Never. Especially when you're looking for teasers. So why doesn't this article come out on Mondays? Because I'm busy banging out player prop winners on the Monday night game. Props like Jimmy Garoppolo's 225+ passing yards (nbd). Plus, a lot of the tease lines are still available on Tuesday. I'm clean in all this. As of right now, I see the following spots as ideal teaser moves. I usually only do two-team teasers but you should do whatever makes you feel good. You can't go wrong doing that (probably).

Indianapolis Colts +9.5 (Thursday)

Here's the thing. I don't think either of these teams are good. At all. I actually think the Broncos are the better team here but after watching them make mistake after mistake for multiple weeks, it's tough to imagine them covering 9.5 in this game. For starters, they haven't done it yet this season. Don't get me wrong, I think they are the side to play here, like if you can get it at three or less, but if we're teasing, I'm going with the Colts.

People are going to look at Indianapolis and hold their noses but I don't think they're that bad. I get that they went down big last week to the lowly Tennessee Titans but the first touchdown Tennessee scored was because they got short field off of a turnover. Then in the second quarter, the same thing happened again so 14 of the Titans' 24 points are questionable. They also held the Titans scoreless in the second half. The bottom line, is I don't think they get beat that badly on Thursday night.

Green Bay Packers -2 (Sunday)

This is the London game Sunday morning so it would be fun to have action on that. I feel like the best way to do it would be to take the Packers down to a "just win the game" move (pretty much). I think we know who the Packers are at this point. I don't think they are that good but they are above average. Aaron Rodgers is still Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, they got blown out in Week 1 game by the Minnesota Vikings but the same thing happened last year and they still finished 13-5.

As for the New York Giants, they could possibly be the worst 3-1 team in the history of the NFL. They've beaten the Titans, Panthers, and Bears so far. The team they lost to was led by Cooper Rush. Not saying Rush stinks, just stating a fact. This has a "what on earth were you thinking" vibe for anyone that bets the Giants. That vibe will likely begin in the first half of this game.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers -2.5 (Sunday)

I know we all just saw the Buccaneers give up 41 points to the Kansas City Chiefs but that game just started badly. They fumbled the opening kickoff. Not great. In the second quarter, they allowed the Chiefs to start on their 20-yard-line due to another turnover. That's 14 points just gifted to Patrick Mahomes. What do you think is going to happen? Of course, the Chiefs rolled up on them.

This week the opposing quarterback will be Marcus Mariota. I shouldn't even be allowed to say "Marcus Mariota" and "Patrick Mahomes" in the same sentence. I get that Mariota has led the Falcons to two straight wins and they've scored points so far this season. The issue is they beat the Seattle Seahawks and Cleveland Browns. Outside of the Detroit Lions, those are the two worst defenses in the NFL. Now they get to go to Tampa and see if they can move the ball on a top-five unit. Grow up, Peter Pan. Count Chocula. This could be a Tampa beatdown.
