The Las Vegas Raiders have maintained an unblemished record against the spread this NFL season, going 4-0 ATS as they prepare to face the New England Patriots on Sunday. The Raiders, currently the only team perfect against the line, will visit New England, who are favored by 3.5 points in one of seven Sunday games with a spread over a field goal.
Las Vegas’s ability to exceed expectations has drawn attention in betting circles and fantasy football alike. Their players feature prominently in Week 5 NFL DFS picks and prop bets, reflecting confidence in their continued strong performances. The matchup with New England offers a notable betting angle, with the Patriots favored to cover at home.
Several teams remain winless against the spread, including the Los Angeles Chargers and Houston Texans, both of whom have also yet to notch a straight-up victory. Houston, listed as a 7-point favorite, faces the Tennessee Titans in one divisional contest, while the Chargers, underdogs by 3.5 points, take on the Denver Broncos in another. These matchups form part of five divisional clashes on Sunday that attract significant betting interest.
SportsLine’s model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has been successful with its top-rated picks, netting over $7,000 for $100 players since its inception. For Week 5, the model has crafted a five-team parlay paying around 25-1. One leg involves betting over 39.5 points in the Titans versus Texans game, with the teams projected to combine for 46 points and the over hitting 62% of the time.
Mike McClure, a professional DFS player with career winnings exceeding $2 million, uses a prediction model that accounts for matchups, trends, and injuries. For Sunday’s main slate, he recommends Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs and Patriots wide receiver Romeo Doubs as top DFS picks. His selections aim to balance statistical analysis with real-time team developments.
Among individual player prop bets, Chargers running back Omarion Hampton’s rushing yards line is set at 37.5 yards. Analyst Alex ‘PropStarz’ Selesnick, who entered the year with a record of 592-471 (+48.93 units) on NFL picks, favors the over. Selesnick points to Hampton’s consistent ability to clear this mark in all four starts this season and the Broncos’ rank of 31st in rushing EPA allowed as reasons to back more than 37.5 yards.
In Atlanta, the Falcons have won two straight games since quarterback Michael Penix Jr. returned, moving to 2-2 on the season. They face the Baltimore Ravens, who will be without Lamar Jackson due to an ankle injury. The Ravens opened as 3.5-point underdogs but shifted to 3.5-point underdogs after Jackson’s status was confirmed. Mike Tierney, with a strong record on Ravens ATS picks, supports the Falcons to cover and leans toward under 44.5 points in the Sunday night game.
On Monday Night Football, the Buffalo Bills will visit the Los Angeles Rams in what some see as a potential Super Bowl preview. The teams last met in 2024 in a 44-42 shootout, with the Rams prevailing. The matchup features former MVPs Matthew Stafford and Josh Allen facing off. Rams analyst Larry Hartstein, holding a 28-10 record on Rams ATS picks, supports L.A. to cover as 3-point favorites and expects the game to go over 54.5 points. The Rams enter the game with momentum following a comeback win in Philadelphia, with their offense healthy and facing a Bills defense allowing 26.8 points per game.
Elsewhere, the Minnesota Vikings, listed as 1.5-point favorites against the New Orleans Saints with a total of 42.5 points, are another of SportsLine’s favored picks. The Vikings have covered this spread more than 60% of the time in simulations.
As Week 5 unfolds, bettors and fantasy players will watch how the Raiders maintain their perfect ATS record, while other divisional matchups and prop bets offer intriguing angles in what promises to be a competitive NFL weekend.
