Four weeks are down in the 2025 NFL season and some contenders are starting to take shape heading into Week 5.

This week is the first one of the season with byes, and it means we won’t have 16 games to bet on starting on Thursday. There are several teams on the bye, including the Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers.

Last week, the Kansas City Chiefs showed that they are still contenders with a dominant display against the Baltimore Ravens while the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles remained undefeated. However, three undefeated teams also lost in the Los Angeles Chargers, Indianapolis Colts and San Francisco 49ers.

So, who is on upset alert – or ready to make a statement – in Week 5?  

The biggest favorite is a tie between three teams (Buffalo, Detroit and Arizona), who are all 8.5-point favorites this week. The highest total is on Sunday night between Buffalo and New England while the lowest total is for the London matchup between Cleveland and Minnesota.

If you have an early lean for a game, this is a great chance to jump on the opening odds before things move throughout the week.
