And then there were two. The Philadelphia Eagles and the Buffalo Bills are the two remaining undefeated teams in the National Football League as we enter Week 5 and both are in action on Sunday evening.

Browns vs Vikings Predictions & Betting Tips

Who will prevail on NFL Sunday? I’m here to give my best betting selections and straight up picks ahead of Week 5 in the National Football League.

NFL Week 5 Betting Tips:

With the landscape of the National Football League beginning to take shape as we enter the fifth week of the regular season, we already have a general idea as to which teams will be in the playoff hunt and which teams will be battling for first pick in next year’s NFL Draft..

Here, I quickly run through some of the best bets available at William Hill for Week 5 – including a boosted NFL Redzone Special for viewers of the 6pm games.

NFL Week 5 Best Bet:

Javonte Williams, Saquon Barkley, De’Von Achane & Derrick Henry Each Over 69 Rushing Yards – 7/1

One of the William Hill NFL Sunday Redzone specials for the early games, I’m hopeful that these four players can make an impact on offence and we could be onto a winner. Here is my reasoning for this week’s selection:

The focal point of the Dallas Cowboys offence, Javonte Williams has averaged 86 rushing yards per game over the last three weeks. The New York Jets have allowed 522 rushing yards through four weeks and Williams could run riot.

While Saquon Barkley has topped 69 rushing yards just once this season, he is still seeing plenty of the ball and the Eagles may need to go heavy with the run to beat the Broncos. If the Eagles run game gets going, Barkley will thrive.

Give De’Von Achane the ball and see what he can do. He had 20 rushing attempts last weekend and mustered 99 yards. If you feed him, he has the skillset to exploit any weakness in the opposing line and I’m confident he can do the business.

Derrick Henry has gone off the boil since rushing for 169 yards in Week 1 but he’s due a big game and ‘King Henry’ is never kept quiet for long. With a tight contest expected in Week 5, the Ravens may lean on Henry and he can top the 70 yards mark all being well.

Week 5 NFL Picks Straight Up:

Here are my best NFL picks straight up for Week 5. I believe that these four teams are worth backing on the money line to win and fingers crossed we’ll be celebrating a successful accumulator this weekend:
