NFL Week 5 odds are open for business, and as is usually the case, pro bettors are quietly taking positions on their favorite early values.
NFL odds adjustments aren’t as drastic as what we typically see in college football, but that doesn’t mean that lines aren’t getting hit either.
Using the Action Network’s NFL PRO picks and predictions, here are the two Week 5 games already attracting wiseguy action.
NFL Picks for Week 5
*NFL odds as of Wednesday morning
Seahawks vs. Saints Pick
Oct. 9 | 1 p.m. ET | FOX
We still don’t know who will be under center for New Orleans on Sunday, but that doesn’t seem to matter for pro bettors.
Respected players are already on Seattle in this Week 5 matchup, suggesting they don’t particularly care about New Orleans’ quarterback situation.
While it may not seem like the most significant line move, getting the Seahawks at +6, as opposed to +5.5, is an important differentiator for bettors, which is why this number has been knocked down a half-point as of Wednesday morning.
With that said, FanDuel is still at Seattle +6 (-115) for those interested in grabbing this price now.

Dolphins vs. Jets Pick
1 p.m. ET | CBS
Speaking of backup quarterbacks, wiseguys have already taken a position on Teddy Bridgewater and the Dolphins for Sunday’s game against the Jets.
On Monday, Miami was -2.5 at a handful of shops, including FanDuel and Circa in Las Vegas, but an influx of smart money has driven this spread up to a consensus of -3.5 at most sportsbooks across the market.
However, a quick scan of NFL Week 5 odds shows BetMGM and DraftKings at Dolphins -3 (-120), so there’s no excuse for bettors to settle for -3.5 right now.
