After a shutout win over the Rams in week one, San Francisco has lost four in a row, losing to the Cardinals last Thursday. They face a Buffalo team this week that has overcome an 0-2 start to win three in a row, including a 30-19 road win over the streaking Rams on Sunday. Who covers the spread this week? (1PM EST) - 10/16

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Miami Dolphins Pick - The Pittsburgh Steelers come to Hard Rock Stadium to face the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. It's been a rough start for Miami at 1-4 and they look for a positive development at home against a 4-1 Steelers team. After a strange loss to the Eagles, the Steelers have won twice with two easy covers. Can they cruise again on the road this week or will Miami provide some resistance and find some answers? (1PM EST) - 10/16

Carolina Panthers vs. New Orleans Saints Pick - In NFC South action from the Superdome, the Carolina Panthers come into town to face the New Orleans Saints. The Saints were able to take some momentum into the bye week, following a come-from-behind road win over the Chargers. They will be hosting a desperate Carolina team that has started the season at 1-4. The defending conference champions need to get on the winning track if they hope to salvage the season. Loot offers his wagering advice here. (1PM EST) - 10/16

Los Angeles Rams vs. Detroit Lions Pick - The Los Angeles Rams come to Ford Field to take on the Detroit Lions on Sunday in key NFC action. The Rams lost on Sunday, but a three-game win-streak still makes them a team to watch. Detroit ended a three-game losing streak on Sunday with a tough win over the unbeaten Eagles. In a dire situation, the Lions got some big plays from their defense to yank victory from the jaws of defeat. Which team can get it done in Detroit on Sunday? (1PM EST) - 10/16

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Chicago Bears Pick - The Jacksonville Jaguars come to Soldier Field on Sunday to face the Chicago Bears. Neither team has thrived this season, as each squad enters this matchup with one win. There are signs of promise, however, as the Jaguars won their last game against the Colts in London, followed by a bye. Chicago has also seen their offense take off a bit with Brian Hoyer and rookie back Jordan Howard. Who does Loot like to cover the spread in this one? (1PM EST) - 10/16

Denver Broncos vs. San Diego Chargers Pick - In AFC West action on Thursday Night Football, the Denver Broncos come to Qualcomm Stadium to face the San Diego Chargers. Without Trevor Siemian starting, the Broncos fell at home to the Falcons for their first loss of the season. They look to bounce back this Thursday against a Chargers team that keeps finding new ways to blow possible wins. They fell to 1-4 on the season with a 34-31 loss to the Raiders on Sunday, though they could be 5-0 or at least 4-1 with any breaks whatsoever. Who covers the number on Thursday? (8:25PM EST) - 10/13

Week 5 NFL Lines - After seeing some wacky results through four weeks, we approach week 5 of the NFL season with trepidation, along with hopefulness and optimism. In this article, Loot gives the lines and totals for each game on the week five schedule, while offering some observations on the first four weeks and beyond.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Carolina Panthers Pick - On Monday Night Football, the NFC South takes center stage, with two teams looking to get on the right track at 1-3, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers visit the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers are looking at being without their MVP Cam Newton in a time where the margin for error is low at 1-3. The defending conference champion Panthers host a Tampa team also looking to make some things happen at 1-3. How will it all shake out on MNF? (8:30PM EST) - 10/10

New York Giants vs. Green Bay Packers Pick - The New York Giants come into Lambeau Field to face the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football. The Giants have blown a good start to the season by losing two straight to go to 2-2. On the short week after a MNF loss, they come to Lambeau to face a 2-1 Packers team coming off the bye. Will the Giants be able to match the energy of the Packers in their second straight road game? Or will the Packers start putting their stamp on this season? Loot offers his two cents here. (8:30PM EST) - 10/9

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Dallas Cowboys Pick - The Cincinnati Bengals look to nose above .500 this week as they visit the 3-1 Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium. The Cowboys are 3-1 and look to have hit their stride despite not having Tony Romo and Dez Bryant, with rookies Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott carrying the load. The Bengals got a nice win on Thursday to position themselves for a little run, but it won't be easy against a grooving Cowboys bunch. Who covers the spread this week? (4:25PM EST) - 10/9

Buffalo Bills vs. Los Angeles Rams Prediction - The Buffalo Bills come to the L.A. Coliseum on Sunday to face the Los Angeles Rams. Both teams have righted the ship after bad starts to the season. The Bills have won two games, beating the Cardinals and Patriots decisively. The Rams, meanwhile, have won three in a row after a really rough week one loss. Who can keep the good momentum going at the Coliseum, where the Rams fans should be out in full-force? (4:25PM EST) - 10/9

San Diego Chargers vs. Oakland Raiders Pick - In AFC West action on Sunday, the San Diego Chargers meet their old rival the Oakland Raiders. Oakland is 3-1 with all three wins on the road, as they look to add a home win over a Chargers team that should be 4-0, but is sitting at 1-3. It's been a disheartening start to the season for the Bolts. Can they right the ship against the surging Raiders? Or will the Silver and Black start establishing themselves as a contender in the coming weeks? (4:25PM EST) - 10/9

Atlanta Falcons vs. Denver Broncos Pick - The Atlanta Falcons come into Mile High to face the Denver Broncos. The Broncos are unbeaten and the Falcons have won three in a row, including two straight games packed full of major offensive fireworks. Can they keep it rolling on the road against this Denver home defense? Combined, these teams have covered their last six preads. Who covers this week? (4:05PM EST) - 10/9

New England Patriots vs. Cleveland Browns Pick - The New England Patriots come to face the winless Cleveland Browns on Sunday, as they see their hero Tom Brady emerge from a 4-game suspension. The Pats were 3-1 in Brady's absence, including a shutout loss to the Bills on Sunday. Can Brady hit the ground running? Or will the dangerous-in-spurts Browns provide more resistance at home than what some might think? Loot offers his betting advice in this article. (1PM EST) - 10/9

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Detroit Lions Pick - The Philadelphia Eagles look to stay on a roll when they visit the Detroit Lions on Sunday. At 3-0, the Eagles are coming off a smashing win over the Steelers, followed by a bye-week that leaves them rested to face the Lions. Detroit has squandered a positive start with three straight losses. Can they do what they've done before and suddenly reverse form again? Did the bye week cool down the Eagles' jets? Can Philly rookie QB Carson Wentz continue to shine? Questions are abound. Loot gives his pick here. (1PM EST) - 10/9

Houston Texans vs. Minnesota Vikings Pick - The Houston Texans come to U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday to face the unbeaten Minnesota Vikings. These teams have covered 7 out of 8 spreads and while the Vikes are unbeaten, the Texans have quietly gotten off to a nice 3-1 start. Can the Vikings keep the ball rolling in their new stadium after 2 wins there or can Houston upset the apple cart? Loot offers his take in this article. (1PM EST) - 10/9

New York Jets vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Pick - The New York Jets come into Heinz Field on Sunday to face the Pittsburgh Steelers. With back-to-back losses and a turnover frenzy ensuing, the Jets look for a better result this week, but will be hard-pressed to find positive momentum against this Steelers bunch. On Sunday night, Pittsburgh decimated the Chiefs and saw the return of Le'Veon Bell, who makes this offense that much stronger. Who covers the spread in Pittsburgh? Loot chimes in here. (1PM EST) - 10/9

Chicago Bears vs. Indianapolis Colts Prediction - The Chicago Bears come to Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday to face the Indianapolis Colts in a battle of 1-3 teams. Chicago got off the schneid on Sunday with a win over the Lions and might have a brewing QB controversy with Jay Cutler and Brian Hoyer, who threw for over 300 in the Bears' first win of the year. They will have to overcome a desperate Colts team that lost in London to the Jaguars last week. Will Indy be able to get this must-win at home? Loot opines here. (1PM EST) - 10/9

Washington Redskins vs. Baltimore Ravens Pick - The Washington Redskins come to MT&T Stadium to face the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. The Redskins started pretty horribly, but have somewhat quietly righted the ship with two straight wins to even their slate. Baltimore lost their first game this past Sunday with a one-point squeaker to the Raiders, but are still vastly improved, especially on defense. Which team covers the spread this week in Baltimore? Loot gives his opinion here. (1PM EST) - 10/9

Tennessee Titans vs. Miami Dolphins Pick - The Tennessee Titans come to Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday as they face the Miami Dolphins in a battle of 1-3 teams trying to get their seasons on the right track. The Titans lost to the Texans on Sunday by a TD, while the 'Fins are trying to shake off a bad loss to the Bengals on Thursday night. Who can lend some positivity to their season this week? Loot gives his take in this article. (1PM EST) - 10/9

Arizona Cardinals vs. San Francisco 49ers Pick - In NFC West action, the Arizona Cardinals come to Levi's Stadium to face the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football. Both teams are in need of a win after each winning just one of their first 4 games. And Arizona, a conference favorite heading into the season, is now without Carson Palmer, with old standby Drew Stanton due to start. Can they deliver on the road in these conditions or will the Niners be able to get business done at home? Loot offers his betting advice here. (8:25PM EST) - 10/6

Week 4 NFL Lines - In this piece, all the NFL lines are covered, along with totals for each game on the week four NFL schedule. Loot also discusses some of the idiosyncracies we've seen in the young NFL season. Some surprise teams are thriving, while some contenders are already facing a mini-crisis situation. Take a look at the betting board for week 4 and see if there's something that tickles your fancy! Good luck!

New York Giants vs. Minnesota Vikings Pick - The New York Giants come into U.S. Bank Stadium to face the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football. The Giants are looking to rebound from a loss to the Redskins on Sunday, which was their first loss of the season after a 2-0 start. Meanwhile, the Vikings have won and covered the spread in all three of their games, but might have their hands full with the Giants' aerial attack. Who covers the spread in this NFC battle? (8:30PM EST) - 10/3

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Pick - The Kansas City Chiefs come to Heinz Field to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football. The Chiefs are coming off a nice win on Sunday over the New York Jets, where KC never lost control in a 24-3 rout. They look to keep it going in a big matchup against what should be an irritated Steelers team that was shockingly throttled by the Eagles on Sunday. Can the Steelers rediscover their form from weeks one and two? Can Kansas City produce a good road effort this week? Loot offers his take in this article. (8:30PM EST) - 10/2

Los Angeles Rams vs. Arizona Cardinals Pick - The Los Angeles Rams have won two in a row since a week one shutout loss to the Niners. They come into Arizona on Sunday to face an irritated 1-2 Cardinals team that will be trying very hard to see their season fall to 1-3. Can the Cardinals come back to life just in time to host what looks like an LA team that has worked some things out? Or can the Rams force another drawn-out battle in this NFC West matchup and cover the spread or even win? Loot offers his take in this article. (4:25PM EST) - 10/2

New Orleans Saints vs. San Diego Chargers Pick - The New Orleans Saints come to Qualcomm Stadium on Sunday to face the San Diego Chargers. Returning home is prodigal son Drew Brees, who first sowed his rep on this field. But he is unfortunately saddled with a Saints' defense that threatens to undermine his efforts, as he is still leading a powerful offense. Can they get their first win against a dangerous Chargers team? Or will the Chargers fight through the injuries and hand out a beating to the Saints? Loot gives his wagering advice here! (4:25PM EST)

Dallas Cowboys vs. San Francisco 49ers Pick - On Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys come to Levi's Stadium to face the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners opened strong here in week one with a shutout win, before floundering the past two weeks in tough road games against the Panthers and Seahawks. Will they get well at home or will Dallas keep showing progress after two straight wins? Loot gives his take in this article. (4:25PM EST) - 10/2

Denver Broncos vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Pick - On Sunday, the unbeaten Denver Broncos come to Florida and Raymond James Stadium to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs are coming off a tough home loss to the Rams last week, but would put a lot of wind in their sails if they were the first to beat the Broncos this week. But with a defense that still looks like the "goods" and a promising start for QB Trevor Siemian, the Broncos won't be easy to derail. Who covers the spread in this battle? (4:05PM EST) - 10/2

Buffalo Bills vs. New England Patriots Pick - In AFC East action in week 4, the Buffalo Bills come into Foxboro to face the 3-0 New England Patriots. Buffalo got on the winning track last week with a big win over the favored Arizona Cardinals. They hope to now take that good momentum into New England on Sunday. The Patriots are playing their last game without Tom Brady, but both of their back-ups are banged up. Will that be enough to trouble a Patriots team that seems to always rise above the problems that cripple other teams? Loot offers his ATS take in this article. (1PM EST) - 10/2

Carolina Panthers vs. Atlanta Falcons Pick - In an important NFC south battle, the defending conference champion Carolina Panthers come into the Georgia Dome to face the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons have looked pretty good in going 2-1 in their first three games, including an impressive week three win on Monday Night Football. They look to keep it rolling at home, but will be facing a Panthers team that will be looking to get into gear and not fall to 1-3. Can the Panthers get back into form or are the Falcons for real? Loot posits his take here. (1PM EST) - 10/2

Seattle Seahawks vs. New York Jets Pick - The Seattle Seahawks come to East Rutherford for a Sunday afternoon game with the New York Jets. The Seahawks rebounded from a rough loss to the Rams with a big win over the 49ers in week three where their offense finally got untracked. Will that continue against a tough Jets' home defense and with Russell Wilson on a gimpy ankle? Or will the Jets be able to come back from an 8-turnover loss to the Chiefs to get back on the winning path at home? (1PM EST) - 10/2

Tennessee Titans vs. Houston Texans Prediction - On Sunday, the Tennessee Titans visit the Houston Texans for an AFC south battle in week four action. The Titans fell at home in a tough week three loss to the Raiders and look to even it up at 2-2. Houston will be in no mood for such sentiment after getting embarrassed on Thursday Night Football in a 27-0 shutout loss to the Patriots. Who can shake off the loss and get back on the right track this week? Loot chimes in with his wagering guidance in this article. (1PM EST) - 10/2

Oakland Raiders vs. Baltimore Ravens Pick - In a battle of rising AFC teams, the 2-1 Oakland Raiders come to MT&T Bank Stadium to face the unbeaten Baltimore Ravens. Oakland showed they can win resourcefully with a 17-10 road win over the Titans on Sunday, while Baltimore also won on the road with a 19-17 win over the Jaguars in week three. Is the Baltimore resurgence real? Can their "D" handle a high-powered incoming Oakland bunch? Can the Raiders win back-to-back road games? Questions are abound and Loot tries to answer some of them in this article. (1PM EST) - 10/2

Cleveland Browns vs. Washington Redskins Pick - The Cleeland Browns come to FedEx Field on Sunday to face the Washington Redskins. The Browns are searching for their first win with a third-string QB in rookie Cody Kessler, but they've shown some signs of life on offense. They will have to deal with a Redskins bunch that seemed to find life with their first win on Sunday. Who comes out ahead in this one? Loot gives his betting counsel in this article. (1PM EST) - 10/2

Detroit Lions vs. Chicago Bears Prediction - In an NFC north matchup from Soldier Field, the Detroit Lions face the Chicago Bears in week four action. Detroit nearly came back to beat the Packers in a big comeback bid last week, before falling to 1-2 on the season. They look to make it 2-2 against a winless Chicago team that looks to have numerous issues on both sides of the ball and has lost their ability to benefit from home-field advantage with 12 losses in their last 13 games at Soldier Field. Who covers the spread in this battle? (1PM EST) - 10/2

Indianapolis Colts vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Pick - The Indianapolis Colts face the Jacksonville Jaguars in an AFC South battle in Wembley Stadium in London, England in a Sunday morning game beginning at 9:30AM Eastern. The Colts got the wind in their sails they needed in a big comeback win over the San Diego Chargers on Sunday. Jacksonville, meanwhile, lost on a late FG on Sunday and a trip to London might not be what the doctor ordered after what's been a deflating 0-3 start where a supposed upgrade has yet to take hold. Who comes out on top in this trans-Atlantic encounter? (9:30AM EST) - 10/2
