Fact Checker

A reminder that good teams win games, but great teams cover the spread. Below are the top teams ATS (Against the Spread) through Week 5.

ATS Records:

San Francisco: 4-1 ATS (Actual Record 5-0) Minnesota: 4-1 ATS (Actual Record 5-0) Las Vegas: 4-1 ATS (Actual Record 3-2) NY Giants: 4-1 ATS (Actual Record 3-1-1)

Interesting to note:

The 49ers are 5-0 and have beaten the Rams H2H this season, but LAR has lower Super Bowl odds (+650) than San Francisco (+800).
The Vikings are 5-0 and have beaten the Bears H2H this season, but CHI has lower Super Bowl odds (+1700) than Minnesota (+2200).

This data suggests San Francisco and Minnesota are winning games, but sportsbooks still aren’t convinced they are the best teams league-wide, or even in their own division.

Thursday Night: Seattle (1-2-2 ATS) vs. Denver (3-2 ATS)

The Thursday night matchup is a huge game for both teams. Seattle (3-2) is already chasing the LA Rams and SF 49ers in their division. A Week 6 road loss will make their B2B Super Bowl hopes a daunting task. Denver (3-2) won the AFC West last year. A Week 6 home loss will make it extremely difficult to catch the division-leading KC Chiefs (4-0).

Point Spread: SEA -3 (FanDuel) O/U: 41.5 Moneyline: SEA -156

Key Offensive Stats:
