NFL Week 5 fades: Bet on the Rams to struggle
Betting on NFL teams and players to succeed in Week 5 is a good way to grow your bankroll.
The Los Angeles Rams face a top-notch defence and a quarterback in Baker Mayfield.
The Rams are getting respect for last year's Super Bowl run. Los Angeles has fallen below the 23.5 points line in three of its four games this season. The Rams have the second-highest pass rate in the NFL (66.9%) and the third-worst rushing yardage total (274) on the season, but they have a good chance to be beaten by the Cowboys' dominant defence.
Philadelphia hasn't allowed an opponent to reach this total since Week 1. The team possesses an elite pass defence behind the corner duo of Darius Slay and James Bradberry. Cardinals have the 12th-highest passing rate in the NFL and a mediocre rushing attack. Carolina has fallen below this line in half of its games and the Panthers have yet to face a team like the 49ers.
