Week 5Sun, Oct 11 vs. Cincinnati Bengals Opp. rank #9Group B
L 24-31 Line +7 ATS: Push (0)

Bengals 31, DOLPHINS 24 (MIA +7). This was a 28-10 game after three quarters and a 31-18 game with two minutes left, but the Dolphins engineered a backdoor push and would have covered if they didn't miss the extra point. Malik Willis was awful for most of the game. 331-307 MIA, 5.2-4.9 MIA

New York Jets

L 24-31 Line +6.5 ATS: Did not cover (-0.5)

LIONS 31, Jets 24 (DET -6.5). This game was close for a while, but the Jets couldn't convert some red zone tries. The Lions went up 24-10, but the Jets stormed back with some great plays by Garrett Wilson and a Jahmyr Gibbs stuff.

L 12-23 Line +3 ATS: Did not cover (-8)

L 19-26 Line +7 ATS: Push (0)
