You thought the NFL season was slowing down in Week 5 after an exciting Week 4? Try again.

Up ahead we have an AFC Championship Game rematch, the NFC West being pitted up against each other for the second week in a row and even the first London game to wake up early for. One home underdog has already attracted a half-million dollar wager at Caesars Sportsbook as well.

Last weekend, Kyler Murray (then the +600 MVP favorite at Caesars Sportsbook) and Matthew Stafford (then tied for second-lowest MVP odds with Patrick Mahomes at +650) squared off in Los Angeles. There’s another battle between quarterbacks residing in the top-3 in Caesars Sportsbook’s MVP odds on Sunday night.

Only Murray (+500) is ahead of Patrick Mahomes (+650) and Josh Allen (+800) for MVP futures. Additionally, the Chiefs are the current Super Bowl favorite at +550 while the Bills have the third-lowest odds at +800. The stakes don’t get much higher than this for a regular season game, as Buffalo will look for revenge after Kansas City knocked them out the game before the Super Bowl this past postseason.

The Chiefs are 2.5-point home favorites over the Bills, the first time these two will meet up since Kansas City cruised to a 38-24 triumph in the AFC Championship Game. There have been eight home favorites that have closed at 2.5 or fewer at Caesars Sportsbook this season, and they’ve gone not only 1-7 against the spread, but also 1-7 straight up. The only other Week 5 spreads that fits this criteria are the Steelers being a slight 1-point home favorite over the Broncos and the Chargers at -1.5 in Los Angeles against the Browns.

“Buffalo is for real, so I can see plenty of Buffalo money even with Kansas City laying under a field goal at home,” said Craig Mucklow, Vice President of Trading at Caesars Sportsbook. “The Chiefs will always garner respect because of Mahomes, but they haven’t been as impressive to start this season as they’ve been in previous years. We’ll probably be high on the Chiefs for the spread and on the Bills for the moneyline.”

Bills at Chiefs is also this slate’s highest total on the board at 56.5. The highest closing total at Caesars Sportsbook for any NFL game this season is 55: Cowboys at Chargers in Week 2, Chargers at Chiefs in Week 3 and Buccaneers at Rams in Week 3. On the other side of the spectrum, the first sub-40 total of the season has been hung up in Week 5 as Texans at Patriots sits at 39.5.

Week 5 kicks off with a strong Thursday night matchup between the Rams and the Seahawks. Each team started on an opposite path to their division slates in Week 4, with the Rams falling as home favorites to the Cardinals and the Seahawks emerging victorious as road underdogs against the 49ers. Yet, it’s the Seahawks who are the 2-point home underdogs in this one, with the total the second-highest of Week 5 at 54.5.

The other NFC West matchup pits the NFL’s last undefeated team in the Cardinals against the 49ers. Arizona is a 5.5-point favorite here hosting San Francisco. The Cardinals only have one home affair under their belts so far this season and it was the only time they didn’t cover the spread (a 34-33 win over the Vikings in Week 2). On the road, though, they’re 3-0 against the number.

“These two games for the NFC West will go a long way to deciding their fate in the division,” Mucklow said. “We’ll know how good all four teams are after this weekend. The Cardinals are a scoring machine, so I’d think the 49ers will have to put up at least 30 to compete. They’ve only done that once so far, and now they may be starting a rookie quarterback. I’m expecting pretty good two-way action for this game.”

Don’t forget to set your alarm clocks earlier on Sunday. The Falcons and Jets will meet at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London at 9:30 a.m. ET/6:30 a.m. PT. Atlanta is 3-point chalk in this neutral site showdown, even with New York coming off its first win of the season in an overtime bout with the Titans.

Finally, the Bengals are getting 3 points against the Packers in Cincinnati, and one bettor likes the home underdog to win and cover. A Nevada bettor laid $500,000 on Bengals +3 (+100) for a total potential payout of $1,000,000, and then also added $205,000 on Bengals moneyline +150 for a total potential payout of $512,500.
