NFL Betting Breakdown – Cash in With Winning, AFC-Based Week 5 Wagering Breakdown

The Indianapolis Colts aren’t looking very good and neither are the Cincinnati Bengals, two teams that were supposed to be legitimate AFC title contenders.

On the other hand, the Kansas City Chiefs are looking downright scary and the Houston Texans also have the look of a playoff-caliber team.

After ripping off five payday-producing wins in six Week 4 picks, I am pumped up to lead the BetOnline NFL betting brotherhood to another winning weekend of NFL selections.

This NFL betting breakdown on every all-AFC or AFC home stadium, mixed-conference matchup will give avid NFL gamblers some more helpful information that they can use when making their upcoming Week 5 wagering selections.

Haste makes waste pro football bettors, so let me get down to business.

Jaguars at Bills
Unless the Bills turn things around in a hurry, things could get even uglier than they were in their 38-14 Week 4 loss to the Jets.

The Bills are averaging just 15.2 points per game while allowing 31.2 per game defensively. Despite allowing a whopping 38 points in each of their last two contests, the Bills have played Under the total in 11 of its last 16 games and nine of their last 13 home games overall.

The Jacksonville Jaguars may be just 1-6 SU and ATS in its last seven road games, but they looked pretty damned good in beating the Colts last week and have won two of the last three games against the Bills overall, including a narrow 18-15 win last season despite failing to cover the NFL odds as an 8.5-point home favorite.

Chiefs at Colts
I’m going to come right out and say it! If someone had told me before the starts of the regular season that the Chiefs would be 3-0 and Indianapolis would be 2-2 heading into their Week 5 matchup, I would have smacked some sense back into the person.

Nevertheless, the Chiefs are 3-0 and playing excellent football while the Colts are floundering at 2-2 with a defense that has more holes in it than Swiss cheese, particularly against the run where they are ranked a dismal 29th by allowing a whopping 149.5 rushing yards per game.

Kansas City has gone just 1-9 SU and 2-8 ATS in the last 10 meetings against Peyton Manning and company, but they are also ranked second in the NFL in points allowed (12.7) while ranking 10th in scoring (22.7 ppg).

Of course, beating the Colts in Indianapolis is one tall task as Indy has compiled a blistering 16-2 SU in its last 18 games at home

Pro football bettors that like to play the Total should know the OVER is 4-2 in Indianapolis’ last six home games.

Broncos at Ravens
The Baltimore Ravens are conference title contenders while the Denver Broncos aren’t quite on the same level, but one question keeps popping into my mind every time I think about this matchup.

Which quarterback would I rather have leading my team and it’s an unequivocal vote for Denver’s Kyle Orton.

Ironically enough, the Broncos have won two of the last three meetings against Baltimore despite falling to the Ravens 30-7 last season.

If you’re looking for some real clues as to what may happen in this contest, take a gander at the fact that the Under has played out in eight of Baltimore’s last 12 home games.

Mixed Conference Games in AFC Stadiums

Giants at Texans
The New York Giants got a huge win over the listless Bears on Sunday night, but will almost assuredly have a much tougher way to go in order to take down the blossoming Houston Texans.

The G-Men have gone just 1-5 SU in their last six games on the road while Houston has posted an impressive 15-7 SU record in its last 22 games at home

The bad news for Texans betting backers is the fact that the team has gone just 2-4-1 ATS in its last seven home games.

The Over has gone 6-2-1 in New York’s last nine road games and a dead-even 5-5 in Houston’s last 10 home contests overall.

Falcons at Browns
The OVER has played out in six of Atlanta’s last nine road games while the Falcons have also posted a fine 5-2-1 ATS mark over its last eight road games.

DYK Alert!
Did You Know that the Cleveland Browns have won four of its last five home games?

Buccaneers at Bengals
The Bengals had better be prepared for the Buccaneers and gifted young quarterback Josh Freeman after losing to the Browns in Week 4.

Not only is Tampa Bay off to a fine 2-1 start this season, but they’ve also gone 4-2 SU in its last six games overall.

While the Bengals are hoping to become legitimate AFC title contenders and the Buccaneers are just trying to get back to being respectable, Cincinnati is just 1-4 SU in its last five home games against Tampa Bay, although they have gone 6-1 SU in its last seven home matchups.

If you like to play the Total NFL betting enthusiasts, then you’ll love the fact that the Under has played out in nine of Tampa Bay’s last 10 games overall.
