NFL Week 5 Predictions: Best Picks Against the Spread

It's time for Week 5 in the NFL. Tom Brady's return to the New England Patriots is arguably the biggest story of the weekend, and the Atlanta Falcons' red-hot offense going up against the Denver Broncos' lock-down defense is probably the biggest game of the weekend, but there is still plenty more going on around the league. Of the 14 games on the Week 5 slate (Seahawks, Saints, Jaguars and Chiefs are on a bye), six contests are between two teams that are at .500 or better, while seven have a spread that is under four points and several others have shootout potential. As most teams are now a quarter of the way through their regular season and beginning to find their identities, it should be a highly entertaining week of football.
