NFL point spreads for Week 5 had the Bengals-Patriots at New England +1.  It was a rare time in which the Pats are a home underdog.

The books made out well with Saturday’s College Football games and they are hoping to continue that trend heading into Sunday.

New England has only been a home underdog once in the past three seasons and they covered that game. Since 1992, they are 10-3 ATS.  They have only been an underdog in six games over the past three years, splitting those Against The Spread.

Cincinnati beat New England at home last year 13-6.  The Bengals, one of only two undefeated teams thus far, were a +2 underdog in that game.

The betting public is correct when moving the money line in Cincinnati games 71.9% of the time over the past 3 seasons. (23-9).  70% of those betting this game were backing the Patriots.

When it comes to fantasy football, the Bengals Giovani Bernard will be a hot prospect entering this game.  Bernard has amassed at least 100 total yards or multiple scores in Cincinnati's first three games of the season.   Despite a lackluster performance against the Titans in Week 3, Bernard had twice as many carries as Bengals rookie Jeremy Hill.
