Fairway’s Football Forecast – NFL Week 5 Underdog Picks And Preview

Our fourth straight winning week to start the season on NFL underdog only picks including a 2-1 result in Week 4 with our sixth outright underdog winner on the NY Giants (+7). We just missed with the Patriots (+7) in an easy cover against Tampa Bay on a last second ‘doink; off the upright as Brady and the Buccaneers escaped Foxboro with a 19=17 win. More than 93% of the spread bets were on Tampa Bay at most leading online sportsbooks. The NFL underdog record is now 8-2 ATS as we move onto NFL Week 5 underdog picks.

Turnovers the Most Important Stat in NFL Winners and ATS Decisions

Teams that are +2 in the turnover column in a game this season are 10-2 SU and 11-1 ATS. Teams that are +3 or better in turnovers are 9-2 SU and 10-1 ATS. As you watch and wager on games, and consider in-play betting, pay closer attention to turnovers as the ultimate key stat in determining winning results and point spread success.
