Teams that are 0-4 straight up have gone 20-5 ATS in Week 5 since 2000. Makes sense since nobody wants to bet on these teams, making them undervalued. So let's take a look at 0-4 teams this week:
Browns +6 at Buffalo - This has a shot, although my confidence level is low. The offense looked better with Anderson at QB, but the Browns then turn around and trade Edwards. They say when in doubt, take, but for just a small pop here.
Chiefs +9 vs. Cowboys - Yes KC is 0-4, but Dallas is on a bye next week, fitting them into the 33-6 angle from last week (2-0 last week). I'd go with the better team here - Dallas
Rams +10 vs. Vikings - I like this one. Vikes are off of an emotional Monday Nighter, and they have the Ravens, Steelers and Packers (again) next.
Buccaneers +15 at Eagles - This looks tempting, but Andy Reid is at his best off of a bye. Pass
Titans +3.5 at Colts - Trend or no trend, hard to play against Peyton vs. this awful pass defense. The Titans still appear to be overrated, as this is the third straight week that they are "due" to win according to many. Don't like 'em, and I'm considering laying the Colts, as square as that sounds.
So out of the five teams that are 0-4, I only like Browns (weakly) and Rams.
Also, Cowboys are only team that fits the -6.5+ with bye coming angle.
