Derry’s Week 5 NFL Picks: Saints ‘must win’ vs. Seahawks; Texans shock Jaguars, sharps?

Derry's picks for the NFL are Saints vs. Seahawks and Texans vs., Jaguars. Six of 16 games have point spreads of seven points or more and only two by fewer than three points. The Advocate started the season with a mythical bankroll with $1,000. The totals for past week and the whole season are at the bottom of the column. All spreads, money lines and over/under totals are provided by Caesars Sportsbook.

Derry's picks for the NFL: Saints must win against Seahawks, Texans shock Jaguars.

Green Bay is at home against NY Giants in London at 8:30 a.m. Minnesota is playing Chicago at noon. The bet is $36 to win $30.

Last week, we won a big teaser by parlaying Tennessee. This week I'm looking to put Green Bay in several teaser plays. The best combo with the Packers seems to be the Vikings. The Packers are an eight-point favorite against the Giants. They would have liked at -7 if they weren't coming from London.

Derry's picks for the NFL: Saints vs. Seahawks, Packers vs., Giants vs, and Texans vs..Jaguars.

Derry's picks for the NFL: Saints vs. Seahawks, Vikings vs., Bears vs, and Texans vs..Jaguars.

Miami at New York Jets is a big favorite. The Dolphins have won their last two games on the road. Jets have given up an average of 25.3 points per game through four weeks. Dolphins will try to get Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle involved in the game.

Derry's picks for the NFL: Saints vs. Seahawks, Jets vs., Dolphins vs, and Texans vs..Jaguars.

Cincinnati at Baltimore is a must-win game for the Ravens. The Bengals have struggled to stop quarterbacks such as Mitch Trubisky, Cooper Rush, Joe Flacco and Bridgewater. Last season, the Bengals won both games against the Baltimore Ravens easily. The winning team has scored 38 or more points in four of the last five games between the two teams.

Derry's picks for the NFL: Saints vs. Seahawks, Bengals vs., Ravens, Texans vs, Jaguars.

The Houston Texans have won eight straight games and covered in six of them. The Texans and Jaguars are playing each other on Sunday at noon. Houston has been good against the pass (ninth) and Trevor Lawrence has a three-interception game against them last September.

Derry’s picks for the NFL: Saints vs. Seahawks, Texans vs., Jaguars.

Cleveland is a slight favorite over LA Chargers. The game is on Sunday at noon. The bet is $22 to win 20. Derry is slightly peeved he didn't bet it right away when it was -3 on Tuesday.

Derry's picks for the NFL: Saints vs. Seahawks, Browns vs., Chargers vs, Texans vs..

Saints need to win to keep their season alive. Seattle defense hasn't been very good. Andy Dalton will start for the Bengals. Jameis Winston missed Wednesday's practice. Alvin Kamara should be able to play. Texans will shock Jaguars. The game is on Sunday at noon.

Buffalo, Green Bay, Tampa Bay and New Orleans are the top picks. Jacksonville, Minnesota and Kansas City are not worth picking.

Saints play Seahawks on Thursday at 7:20 p.m.

Saints are the underdogs against Seahawks. Colts are under-dogs despite Jonathan Taylor and Shaq Leonard being injured. Denver is 27th in rushing.

Colts will be forced to rely on the passing game more against Broncos. Broncos rushing defense hasn't been impressive. Seahawks are underdogs.

Tampa Bay is favored to beat Atlanta 24-20. The team without Cordarrelle Patterson worries me. However, the Falcons have been one of the surprises of this season.

Bills are favored by 14 points against Pittsburgh. It's the largest spread Mike Tomlin has ever faced in his 16 seasons as coach. The Steelers have only been double-digit dogs three times in that time. The Bills are playing at home for only the second time all season.

Washington is favored to beat Tennessee. Last season the Titans lost to the Jets in overtime after beating Indianapolis. Derry is betting against the public.

Detroit hasn't won in Foxborough since 1993 when Tom Brady was still in high school. The last meeting in 2018, Brady got shut down 26-10 to fall to 1-2. This week, there's no clue who's playing quarterback for the Patriots.

Saints are playing Seattle on Sunday at 3:05 p.m.

Derry's picks for the NFL's Week 5: Saints vs. Seahawks, Texans vs., Carolina vs, San Francisco vs Carolina, and the Jaguars vs the Texans.

Saints are playing Seattle on Sunday at 3:25 p.m.

Derry's picks for the NFL's Week 5: Arizona (+5) 24, Philadelphia 23. Dallas (+1) takes on the Rams in the late window.

LA RAMS are the underdogs against Dallas. The Rams are coming off a win over the Bengals. Dallas has struggled without Dak Prescott.

Saints are playing Seattle on Monday at 7:15 p.m.

KANSAS CITY 30, Las Vegas 26. Chiefs blew a game in Indianapolis and beat the Chargers the week before. Raiders are underrated.
