NFL schedule 2021: Week 5 picks, odds, predictions, best bets, spreads, DFS plays, TV coverage for all games
The first month of the 2021 NFL season is in the books, and as expected the action lived up to the hype. After four weeks, only one team remains undefeated -- the Arizona Cardinals; several surprising teams have emerged as top Super Bowl 56 contenders -- the Dallas Cowboys, Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Chargers, and the Cardinals; and the race for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft is officially on, with the Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars leading the way.
Against the spread favorites 8-8 in Week 4, marking the first time ATS underdogs haven't prevailed in the weekly standings in 2021. Will Week 5 be the week the favorites finally come out ahead? Or will the underdogs continue to cover spreads at an eye-opening rate? Only time will tell.
