Morning Coffee: A Look Ahead To Week 5 With An NFL Early Lean

Follow| Archive

Week 4 of the NFL season was one to remember.

For those who missed it, the TSN EDGE team kicked the week off by hitting on a FanDuel Same Game Parlay at +7900 for Thursday Night Football.

While it would have been tough to top that, my FanDuel Best Bets for Week 4 went 3-0 and I finished with a 20-9 record overall.

I’m not expecting to hit on 69 per cent of my NFL bets every week.

Still, is it unreasonable to expect to do better?

It certainly felt like there were some near misses that went against me.

Also, there’s nothing wrong with setting the bar high.

So, let’s get the NFL card started with an Early Lean for Week 5.

Here’s the Morning Coffee for Tuesday October 4th, 2022.

NFL Early Lean For Week 5

The Philadelphia Eagles were +2000 to win the Super Bowl entering Week 1 of the regular season.

After a 4-0 start, the Eagles are the third choice to win it all at FanDuel at +750.

Only the Buffalo Bills (+450) and the Kansas City Chiefs (+700) have shorter odds.

Those three teams are on the short list of teams capable of coming back from down 14+ points to win a game on any given Sunday.

In fact, we saw exactly that from two of them as Buffalo and Philadelphia both rallied from double-digit deficits to secure a win in Week 4.

For the Eagles, a 14-0 deficit turned into a 29-21 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars to remain the league’s only undefeated team.

Jalen Hurts finished with 242 scrimmage yards and one score.

Meanwhile, it was Miles Sanders’ turn to take the spotlight in the Philly offence as he recorded 156 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns in the win.
