As the Bills and Chiefs take all the headlines in primetime Sunday night, the other Super Bowl favorites were making things happen during Week 5 in the NFL.

There’s not only a true threat to KC in the AFC West, but Justin Herbert continues to play at a Patrick Mahomes-like level. The result: the Bolts are booming and in the Super Bowl contender conversation.

Speaking of surging, the Cardinals remain the lone undefefated team in the NFL, while the Cowboys looked ultra good again.

Shootout at SoFi

Once the smoke cleared from the track meet and fireworks that was Browns-Chargers, Los Angeles was 4-1 after a 47-42 sizzle-reel of a win. They now share the 9th-best Super Bowl odds at +1400, a big leap from their +2600 odds heading into the Week.

Very rarely does elite QB play not play a factor on a title team, and the Chargers have one in Herbert. The second-year pro finished 26-for-43 for 398 yards and four TD passes. He also ran for 29 yards and another score against the Browns.

His offense hung 47 on a very stout Cleveland defense, which entered the game having allowed 34 points total across a three-game win streak.

Getting them last week would have been a sweet-spot bet, but there’s still some value sprinkling some on them now.

They could fade depending on how they play against the Ravens next, but their schedule is favorable after their bye week. It goes Patriots, at Eagles, Vikings, Steelers, at Broncos, Bengals and Giants.

There’s a high probability they’re into single digits after that.

Speaking of LA teams, can’t forget the Rams bouncing back after that loss to the Cardinals and putting it on the Seahawks Thursday night. They’ve moved into the triple digits at +900 and are a major betting consideration.

Five and Woah

Consider how far the Cardinals have come. They entered the season with better than +4000 odds of hoisting the Lombardi. They didn’t really step into the title convo until last week, when they were the last undefeated team standing in the NFL.

After their win against San Francisco to improve to 5-0, the Cards are tied with the 7th-best Super Bowl odds at +1300, a boost from +1600.

While the offense had been taking much of the headlines through this perfect start, the defense showed it could hold its own.

With limited tape on rookie 1st-rounder Trey Lance, the Cardinals held the rook to 192 yards passing with an interception. They also sacked him twice, and posted seven QB hits.

Losing End

The Browns were on the losing end of that shootout in LA, and they do deserve to get faded, from +1200 to +1400. The Browns had five leads in the game, including  27-13, 35-28 and 42-35, and couldn’t hold any of them.

There are some positives. Baker Mayfield went toe-to-toe with Herbert, throwing for 305 yards and two touchdowns. Their ground game again ate up the opposition, with Nick Chubb carrying 21 times for 161 yards and a score. Kareem Hunt chipped in 61 yards and two scores as well.

Chalk it up as a tough loss between good teams, and don’t be afraid to wager on the Browns.

It’s a little bit more dicey trying to assess the 49ers situation. They’ve now dropped three in a row, and are now a distant +3500. I love taking fliers on teams whose odds have faded, but the Niners are in no man’s land in their QB situation.

Lance filled in for an injured Jimmy Garoppolo, and added 89 yards rushing to his 192 yards passing. Not sure if they think he’s ready, but also not sure if Jimmy G is capable of taking the Niners to where they want to be.

Dealing With Dak

Tied with Arizona for the 7th-best odds are the Dallas Cowboys, who leapt from +1900 to +1300 after a 44-20 destruction of the hapless New York Giants.

Dak Prescott went 22-for-32 for 302 yards and three TD passes and one interception. It’s the first time in three games he’s gone over the 30-pass attempt mark, as Dallas’ run game continues to churn.

Zeke Elliott rushed for 110 yards on 21 totes, scoring a rushing and receiving TD on the day, while Tony Pollard added another 75 yards on the ground. This run-pass balance is the stuff title teams are made of, and they’re definitely in the mix.

Their defense has yet to surrender 30 points in a game, surrendering 23 a contest, while they have had at least two interceptions in every game this season.

Splash on the Titans?

Teams with top-10 odds are all at +1400 or better. At 11 the gap widens, and that space is currently occupied buy the Tennessee Titans at +2800. They improved from +3100 after a 37-19 whipping of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

There’s no problem with the run game. Derrick Henry was king again Sunday, carrying 29 times for 130 yards and three touchdowns.  Proceed with a little wait-and-see with them as your longshot wager, though.

Ryan Tannehill and the passing game is yet to flex at full force. AJ Brown and Julio Jones have been fighting injuries in the early part of the year, so it will take some time to get healthy and on the same page.

They’re too one dimensional right now to have wagering confidence. Make sure to monitor them in the coming weeks.
