Sean Payton’s men high on confidence ahead of NFL Week 5
New Orleans Saints have been producing fine performances at the start of the new NFL season as they have defeated the likes of Houston Texans, Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys, while suffering a 27-9 loss to Los Angeles Rams.
26-year-old Canadian defensive tackle David Onyemata and his teammates are brimming with confidence ahead of the visit of Tampa Bay Buccaneers and they are seen as favourites to win Sunday’s clash. Sean Payton’s men are -179 at William Hill to beat Tampa in Week 5.
In their last meeting in NFL New Orleans defeated Tampa Bay Buccaneers 28-14, which is yet another why home win should be considered. In their last game in the NFL the Saints defeated Dallas Cowboys 12-10.

NFL Week 5 Injuries and Suspensions
NFL Week 4 was pretty busy on the injury front, with several top-class players picking up knocks. Following players will be out of contention in Week 5 through injury:
- Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams misses the Dallas Cowboys game with a turf toe.
- Fellow wide receiver from Arizona Cardinals Christian Kirk suffered a leg injury in Sunday’s game against Atlanta Falcons and, as a result, head coach Kliff Kingsbury can’t count on him for the Cincinnati Bengals clash.
- Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen picked up a knock against New England Patriots, making an early exit. The 23-year-old is unlikely to recover in time to face Tennessee Titans in NFL Week 5.
- Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky is in the recovery room with a shoulder injury.
- Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry suffered a concussion in the 40-25 win over Baltimore Ravens and he will is likely to miss the San Francisco 49ers clash.
- Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson suffered a concussion at the weekend as well and he will need at least one week to recover.
- Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack misses the Kansas City Chiefs game with an ankle problem.
Our NFL Week 5 Betting Tips
New England Patriots -15.5 at -110
New England Patriots made a flying start to the new NFL season and they will be looking to keep their 100% record intact when they face Washington Redskins FedEx Field this weekend. Tom Brady is not getting any older and given Washington’s poor start to the season (four defeats), we believe that there is a big value in betting on the title holders.
Kansas City Chiefs -10.5 at -111
Kansas City look unstoppable at the start of the 2019 NFL season as well, with the team recording a win in each of their first four games in the process. Andy Reid’s troops showed character in the come-from-behind win at Detroit Lions and they are likely to extend their winning run against Indianapolis Colts, who have been having their ups and downs at the start of the season.
