NFL Week 5 picks, odds

Post Sports Gambling Editor/Producer, Digital Sports Editor Matt Ehardt is in his first season of Bettor's Guide.

Green Bay Packers (-3) vs. Los Angeles Rams

The Rams have been ravaged by injuries, with star receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua sidelined, and are staging a miraculous rally against the winless 49ers.

Meanwhile, the Packers brought back quarterback Jordan Love last week.

Love struggled at first, but picked up his game in the second half against a stout Vikings defense in a tough home loss.

The Rams are allowing 28.8 ppg, second-worst in the league.

They are scoring 18.8 ppg and have exceeded 21 points at one point.

Make field goals on the Packers against a Rams team too battered to match a high-powered offense.

Love should have no problem attacking a defense that has recorded just seven sacks and allowed the second-most yards per game.

New Orleans Saints (+5.5) vs. Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs won by 7, 1, 5, and 7 points to improve to 4-0.

They just lost star receiver Lachie Rice, likely for the season. Travis Kelce is no longer an alpha receiver. And their running game relies on Kareem Hunt, who wasn't good enough to make the roster out of camp.

Oh, Patrick Mahomes is looking pretty mediocre this season.


Do you want to bet on the NFL?


The Saints rank sixth in the NFL in points allowed at 17.5 per game and are coming off a tough road loss to the Falcons in which they did not allow an offensive touchdown.

The Chiefs tend to play close games, and 5.5 points seems like a lot of points against a quarterback familiar with their scheme in Derek Carr.

last week: 1-1.Commanders (W), Steelers (L)
season: 2-6.
