SportSteem - Week 5 NFL Recap

Week 5 is finally in the books after the Vikings won, 20-17, on Monday Night Football but failed to cover the 3.5 point spread. After only 5 weeks, we've already seen a number of surprises as the Jaguars went into Pittsburgh and won (handily), and the Jets won (again) and sit at 3-2 and tied for first place in the AFC East, and the Cowboys – last season’s NFC No. 1 seed – lost at home to the Packers to fall to 2-3 on the year. On the handicapping front, away teams managed to go 10-4 during the week (9-5 against the spread) while only 3 of the 9 home favorites managed to cover. 6 of the 13 underdogs managed to win outright.
