Week 5 AFC North Props Preview: Look to Burrow and Jackson for Best NFL Lines Value
If you’re looking for the best NFL lines this week regarding the AFC North, let’s get a couple of things cleared out first. For one, the Cleveland Browns, aka the team with the best defense in the league, is on its bye week, so you won’t find them in our sportsbook for Week 5. Don’t worry, though, they’re coming back next week.
Secondly, Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals, a team that was deemed as Super Bowl odds favorites in the AFC at the beginning of the season will be looking to score a much-needed win to start turning their reality around when they visit the Arizona Cardinals.
Lastly, in an intra-divisional battle, Lamar Jackson and Baltimore will pay the Pittsburgh Steelers a visit to try and make it a clean first-round sweep of AFC North games for the Ravens.
So what are some of the best AFC North prop bets to count on in Week 5? Let’s get to it.
Let’s take a closer look at some NFL odds worth considering.
“Joe Cool” Gets Another Chance
I’m seriously starting to get worried about Burrow and the Bengals. And I’m not the only person feeling this way. Sorry, but it has to be said. The only thing Burrow has excelled at this season is stinking, and it has clearly affected Cincinnati, a team built to play for his wants and needs.
As the Bengals prepare to square off against the Cardinals on the road, NFL news sites have made an echo of Burrow’s words about how his team needs this win stating “We need it for morale, we need it for our ranking, we need it for everything.”
Well Joey boy, in order to do so, then you should really think about playing your best game of the season. You have enough weapons in your arsenal to once again show all pro football fans what the Bengals are made of, just like in the last couple of seasons. So get to it, and play better.
Arizona’s defense against the pass is averaging 242.5 yards per game, which in Burrow terms could signify an easy outing if he brings his “A” game on Sunday. With the quarterback making sure everybody understands how important a win for Cincinnati is here, take his prop at our sportsbook for the over in passing yards at -113.

And Then There’s Jackson
You know what have been Jackson’s two best games this season? His Week 1 performance against the Browns with 186 yards on 15 completions and two TDs, and his Week 3 performance against the Bengals on the road with 24 completions for 237 yards and 2 TDs once again.
And yes, as you probably guessed by reading that, they were both against AFC North rivals, which makes this game against Pittsburgh on Sunday the perfect opportunity for Jackson to have another stellar outing.
With Odell Beckham Jr. and Rashod Bateman both slated to come back, Jackson, a strong contender in our NFL MVP odds list, should have a field day against Pittsburgh and its meager pass defense.
Continuing with the trend of Jackson going for two TD passes against divisional foes, ours as well as the top Las Vegas NFL betting lines all have Jackson passing for over 1.5 TDs as an enticing bet. So do yourself a favor and go for it!
