Against The Spread: NFL Week 5

Patriots (-15) at Redskins
Though this is a fairly large spread (the largest of the week, in fact) I’m still not shying away from the Pats. The Patriots own the largest points differential in the league by a considerable margin at +94 on the season. The Cowboys are the second closest with a “meager” +51 point differential. Their success lies surprisingly with their defense that ranks first in yards allowed per game through the first four weeks of the season. They’re currently the odds-on favorite to win the Super Bowl and are one of only three unbeaten teams left in the NFL.
