Top Week 5 NFL picks

After diving into all 15 games from the NFL Week 5 schedule, Cohen recommends backing the Texans (-7, 38.5) to defeat the Titans at the best betting apps . While the Titans defense has, surprisingly, performed better than Houston's defense, the Titans offense has outperformed no one this season. It ranks dead last in total yards and is second worst in points scored. Meanwhile, Houston's scored 30-plus in its two games with Nico Collins healthy, and the Texans' run defense is still stout in ranking fourth in yards allowed and yards per carry given up. To help with the NFL exact score prediction, the Titans have scored in between 13 and 16 points in five straight home games versus Houston, and Cohen points out the overall low-scoring nature of this rivalry.

"Shockingly, this is a matchup of 0-4 teams whose seasons effectively end with a fifth straight loss. The downfall of Houston defensively is shocking. But fortunately, they face a really bad Tennessee offense on Sunday so maybe this is their get right spot. Also, eight of the last ten meetings between these two franchises have seen 37 or less points. Expect a low-scoring, ugly game with the Texans starting their long road back to .500 with a two-score win." Texans 22, Titans 13   See his other Week 5 football score predictions at SportsLine .
