All four NFL winless ATS teams in Week 4 and two of the three undefeated ATS failed to concede for anyone riding the hot streak. Only one team remains perfect, covering all games so far this season. The American team. The Dallas Cowboys.
Here’s a breakdown of the ATS rankings for all 32 teams before Week 5:
1. Dallas Cowboys 4-0 ATS (covered by +33 points)
The offensive line is crippling people again, Zeke is back to his old self and Dak Prescott is the elite. This attack is absolutely exciting, but perhaps the biggest surprise is the quality of their defense.
Week 5: (-7) against the New York Giants
2. Buffalo Bills 3-1 (+52)
Josh Allen and his team have scored 39.3 points per game since their first game against the Steelers and have thrown two shutouts while covering three straight games.
Week 5: (+3) at the Kansas City Chiefs
If the season ended now, Kyler Murray would be the MVP and everyone would be wondering, “Why did this season end after four games?”
Week 5: (-5.5) vs. San Francisco 49ers
The Panthers converted four of their first five third downs against the Cowboys on Sunday, then went down to zero for their next eight.
Week 5: (-3.5) vs. Philadelphia Eagles
If Brandon Staley won the AFC West in his debut season, he’s a lock on Coach of the Year.
Week 5: (-1.5) vs. Cleveland Browns
6. Cleveland Browns 3-1 (+17.5)
They put together two dominant defensive performances in a row. Any game where Baker Mayfield is playing at an above average level should be easy cover.
Week 5: (+1.5) at Los Angeles Chargers
The Broncos lost their first game to Spread, their first game of the season, and Teddy Bridgewater on Sunday afternoon. If Bridgewater can’t take on the Steelers this week, we’ll (have to) see Drew Lock vs. Ben Roethlisberger. Weft!
Week 5: (+1) at the Pittsburgh Steelers
Green Bay has won and covered every game since that embarrassing New Orleans opener in Jacksonville. Unfortunately, they just lost star cornerback Jaire Alexander to a shoulder injury and their defense was already very suspect.
Week 5: (-3) at the Cincinnati Bengals
Sean Payton coached one of the worst games of his career on Sunday, shattering a double-digit lead over the Giants in the fourth quarter.
Week 5: (-1.5) at the Washington football team
10. Cincinnati Bengals 2-2 (+18)
The Bengals had an exciting comeback against the Jaguars last Thursday night, but they didn’t cover and that’s a loss in our (sporting) book.
Week 5: (+3) vs. Green Bay Packers
11. Las Vegas Raiders 2-2 (+11)
Their fairytale debut was canceled on Monday. They fell twice in a row against the spread.
Week 5: (-5.5) vs. Chicago Bears
12. Baltimore Ravens 2-2 (+6.5)
Lamar Jackson was just great behind a makeshift offensive line.
Week 5: (-7) against the Indianapolis Colts
13. Minnesota Vikings 2-2 (+5.5)
The Vikings scored in their first possession against Cleveland, then were sidelined for the remainder of the game. Skol?
Week 5: (-7.5) vs. Detroit Lions
14. Los Angeles Rams 2-2 (+1)
Arizona put them in their place on Sunday and that place is NFC West’s second.
Week 5: (-2.5) at the Seattle Seahawks
15. Indianapolis Colts 2-2 (+0.5)
I hope I’m not the only person who takes immense pleasure in watching tight end Mo Alie-Cox play football. Give us more Big Macs!
Week 5: (+7) at the Baltimore Ravens
16. New York Giants 2-2 (-2)
Daniel Jones pitched for a career-high 402 yards and two touchdowns against Marshon Lattimore and the much-vaunted Saints defense. That’s a lot of pennies. Also, I think it’s safe to say Saquon Barkley is back.
Week 5: (+7) at the Dallas Cowboys
17. New England Patriots 2-2 (-4.5)
It was a heartbreaking loss for the Pats but a great cover. Their defense looked better and Mac Jones is clearly the best rookie quarterback so far.
Week 5: (-9.5) at the Houston Texans
18. Houston Texans 2-2 (-5.5)
The Texans didn’t cover with Davis Mills under center. Soooooo, when is Tyrod Taylor coming back?
Week 5: (+9.5) vs. New England Patriots
19. Seattle Seahawks 2-2 (-6)
Russell Wilson has yet to throw an interception this season. Did I just put a spell on him? Tune in next week to find out.
Week 5: (+2.5) vs. Los Angeles Rams
20. San Francisco 49ers 2-2 (-11.5)
They lost two in a row as home favorites. The Trey Lance era has officially begun, maybe.
Week 5: (+5.5) at the Arizona Cardinals
21. Chicago Bear 2-2 (-16)
Whether you attribute it to Bill Lazor taking over or the fact that they were playing against the Lions, Chicago’s offense finally clicked on Sunday.
Week 5: (+5.5) at the Las Vegas Raiders
22. Tennessee Titans 2-2 (-23.5)
Death, taxes and Mike Vrabel giving up easy games on the road.
Week 5: (-4) at the Jacksonville Jaguars
23. Miami Dolphins 2-2 (-38.5)
We were promised an exciting attack from the Dolphins this year. I would like to speak to the director.
Week 5: (+10.5) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
24. Philadelphia Eagles 1-3 (+5)
The Eagles are 0-3 ATS and on the silver line since their Week 1 win over the Falcons. Time to organize open trials again?
Week 5: (+3.5) at the Carolina Panthers
25. Detroit Lions 1-3 (-8.5)
If the Lions continue to lose starters to injury every week, things will escalate very quickly.
Week 5: (+7.5) at the Minnesota Vikings
26. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1-3 (-12)
They’ll be fine once their high school is healthy, but expect opponents to be successful in throwing against them in the meantime.
Week 5: (-10.5) vs. Miami Dolphins
27. Kansas City Chiefs 1-3 (-13.5)
The Chiefs covered for just the second time in their last 15 games on Sunday. They desperately need Frank Clark to get back on the defensive line.
Week 5: (-3) against Buffalo Bills
28. Washington Soccer Team 1-3 (-20)
You could argue that they should have lost to Atlanta and I would say you would be right and we would be two people wondering why we are arguing. Their line against the Saints is strange.
Week 5: (+1.5) vs. New Orleans Saints
29. New York Jets 1-3 (-21.5)
Zach Wilson claimed his first victory and the defense was equally impressive, scoring seven sacks.
Week 5: (+3) at the Atlanta Falcons
30. Pittsburgh Steelers 1-3 (-22)
This offense is offensive but not in a good way.
Week 5: (-1) vs. Denver Broncos
31. Jacksonville Jaguars 1-3 (-23.5)
I don’t know why everyone is so mad at Urban Meyer for partying after the Bengals game. He just covered his first spread of the season!
Week 5: (+4) vs. Tennessee Titans
31. Atlanta Falcons 1-3 (-36.5)
It might be a cry for help, but I’m excited for the Falcons-Jets this week.
Week 5: (-3) vs. New York Jets
