The Vikings vs. Saints was a great example of how important it is to get in on bets at the right time. The Vikings opened as 2.5-point favorites, then closed favored by 3.5. They won by exactly three. Other games throughout the week were nail-biters both straight up and against the spread, but none toed the line quite like that matchup.
Week 5 features a lot of lines that are hovering right around key numbers. Where can you expect those lines to move?

Indianapolis Colts at Denver Broncos
Thursday Night Football features a game between two of the most inconsistent teams in the NFL. Two weeks ago, the Colts took down the Chiefs, then they followed it up with a home loss to the Titans. Meanwhile, the Broncos finally found some offense, scoring more than 20 points for the first time this year, yet they lost to the previously 0-3 Raiders.'
This number opened right at the key number, with Denver favored by three. These two teams are each 1-3 against the spread this season, so neither side will likely find much support from the betting public. However, the Broncos have looked terrible offensively at times this season, and they just lost Javonte Williams for the season.'
The line won't move much, but any movement will be important for a game that should be decided by a field goal either way.
Current Line: Broncos -3
Predicted Final Line: Broncos -2.5
