NFL Week 5 betting first look: Ravens worth a wager

The underdogs were back barking again in Week 4 with a 9-4 record ATS through Sunday's games (Bears-Vikings closed pick-em). Let's hope for 10-4 with our Bengals +5 pick from last week's first look still pending. By the way, seven of those covers from the nine underdogs won their games outright (go Buccaneers).

Similar to last week, two games jump off of the Week 5 card to me. Here's a look into those matchups and the sides I believe are worth betting now before lines start moving throughout the week.

Week 5 lines I'm investing in now

Baltimore Ravens (-4) at Pittsburgh Steelers

Recent history would suggest laying -3.5 or -4 in this interdivision rivalry game is a bad idea (especially on the road team). In a sense, I'm doubling down on how bad Mason Rudolph and the Steelers' offense played in San Francisco last week.
