Hurry Up Hustlers: three Week 5 picks

Marv

Record: 4-2. Both totals have hit, the spreads are 2-2. Same rules as always.

1. Giants +3.5 at Commanders

Confidence: solid.

A 3-1 team getting more than a field goal from a 1-3 team. That doesn't happen often, and when it does, the record usually knows something the line doesn't.
Washington's on its third-string quarterback. The number's priced like the Commanders' starter is healthy.
Caveat: the Giants' offense has been inconsistent. If they score 12 again, this loses.

Confidence: hammer.

Miami's scoring, four games: Week 1 10 pts, Week 2 13 pts, Week 3 13 pts, Week 4 10 pts

Miami has scored 46 points in four games. My Under on them last week hit by 13.5.
Cincinnati ran for 23 yards against Jacksonville and scored 17. Neither offense has given me a reason to expect points.
I'll keep betting against the Miami offense until it scores 20.

Confidence: lean.

Minnesota is 4-0 and didn't score a touchdown in two of its last three. That's not a 4-0 team, that's a kicker.
New Orleans gave up 45 on Monday, but the offense put up 320 yards and 24 points. At home, getting points, against a team I don't trust.

21+. This is entertainment, not advice. If betting stops being fun, call 1-800-GAMBLER.
