MLB playoffs, NFL week 5 picks top the tip sheet newsletter form super book Bodog
First an intriguing NFL bet:
Could this be the week that a team finally puts the Kansas City Chiefs in their place? The Chiefs have been dumbfounding oddsmakers. They are a perfect 4-0 straight up and against the spread.
But if anyone can cover the NFL odds decisively it’s Peyton Manning and the Colts. NFL odds have listed them as -7.5 favorites at home, and considering they were beaten by a 59-yard field goal last week at Jacksonville, expect Manning and Co. to come out firing.
The one way to slow the Colts down is keeping Manning off the field with an effective running game. Indy gives up nearly 150 rushing yards a game, and the Chiefs boast an impressive rushing attack with Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles in the backfield. At least one of them will get off Sunday morning.
Most surprising about the Chiefs is their impressive defense. They’ve only allowed 12.7 points per game this season. That said, we’d be shocked if Indy was kept under 14, they’ve averaged 29.3 this season.
Now to the ALDS. Someone must have told the Tampa Bay Rays it was October and they were facing elimination in the eighth inning. Because their bats came alive when they needed it most in Game 3 to grab the 6-3 win.
Trailing 2-1 going in to the eighth, Carlos Pena got things going with a single to score pinch-runner Desmond Jennings. Then the flood gates came open. The Rays scored five runs in the eighth and ninth to keep themselves alive for Sunday’s matchup.
“I was so nervous, hoping we didn’t get swept,” said Carl Crawford, who homered in the ninth for the Rays. “I feel so much better. It feels like we’re winning the series right now.”
Maybe to him, but realistically their playoff homes are hanging by a thread.. With them facing the Texas Rangers at home their backs are once again against the wall. Oddsmakers still expect the game to be close, MLB Odds have listed the Rangers as just -122 favorites in the Bodog Sportsbook.
The Rays are hoping for a solid game from pitcher Wade Davis. In his last outing on Oct. 3 against Kansas City he only gave up two runs with seven innings of work. He has an overall record of 12-10 with an 4.07 ERA.
Tommy Hunter will start for the Rangers. He has an impressive 13-4 record with a 3.74 ERA. He hasn’t given up more than two runs in his last five starts.
Back to week 5 NFL bets. October is just like September: sweep the month. Oct. 3, the Giants in a rout kept perfection alive. Oct. 2 finally there was a sweat as UNLV keeps perfection. Sept. 26 the Chiefs routing the 49ers right after Sept. 25 it was another gift on Stanford, Sept. 19 it was the Dolphins over Vikings. Sept. 18 Nebraska routs Washington, Sept 11 it was Alabama humiliating Penn State, and Sept 4 it was Oregon State covering versus TCU. The LateInfo has not missed.

The Denver Broncos have been a surprisingly impressive team on offense through the last four weeks. But they haven’t faced a balanced squad both offensively and defensively like the Baltimore Ravens.
NFL odds have the Ravens as -7 favorites at home says the NFL Odds, but with the Total at 39.5 oddsmakers don’t expect them to score much. Despite being impressive in spurts the Ravens’ stacked offense has only dropped 15 point per game this season. To be a more dynamic offense they’ll need running back Ray Rice to get himself going. A running/receiving threat last year, Rice only has 230 rushing yards and 74 receiving yards through four games this year.
For the Broncos, they’ll need to rely on their dynamic passing game to cover the spread. Quarterback Kyle Orton has been on fire averaging 339.5 yards a game in the air. Unfortunately for them the Ravens pass D has been a strength, they’ve head opponents to just 119 passing yards per game.
At 0-4, the Buffalo Bills need a win.
They looked re-energized in Week 3 despite losing to the New England Patriots 38-30, getting a shot in the arm by new starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. Unfortunately, the team was shut down by the nasty New York Jets defense in Week 4, losing 38-14. With the Jacksonville Jaguars playing inconsistent ball through four games, this is the Bills’ best shot to win.
NFL Odds have Buffalo as -1 favorites at home. The first time they’ve been favored all season. However, this week they’ll be running the ball without Marshawn Lynch, he’s been traded to the Seattle Seahawks after leading the team in rushing through the first four games. It’ll be on vet back Fred Jackson and rookie runner C.J. Spiller to carry the rock on Sunday.
Unfortunately, the Bills are 1-3 against the spread this year.
