Here are the top 5 NFL teams to bet on this week:

*All odds as of November 20.

TEAM TRENDS
Carolina Panthers 6-0 SU and ATS in last 6 games; 7-3 ATS overall
New Orleans Saints 5-1 SU and ATS in last 6 meetings vs Atlanta
Indianapolis Colts 4-1 SU and ATS on the road this season
San Francisco 49ers 4-1-1 ATS in its last 6 road games
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 3-0 ATS record in last 3 games

1. Carolina Panthers (-4.5)

Next Game: at Miami Dolphins (November 24, 1:00 PM ET)

It’s official: the Panthers are for real. After consecutive wins against both the 49ers and the Patriots, Carolina is now 6-0 SU and ATS in last 6 games, tied for the longest active winning streak in the NFL. Their current run has also catapulted them to the top of the overall ATS standings with a 7-3 season mark.

The Panthers will be road favorites for only the second time this season against the slumping Dolphins, who are just 2-5 SU and ATS in their last 7 games.

2. New Orleans Saints (-9.5)

Next Game: at Atlanta Falcons (November 21, 8:25 PM ET)

After two very good wins over the Cowboys and 49ers, the 8-2 Saints now march into Atlanta to face the 2-8 Falcons. The Falcons – last year’s division champs – have been ravaged by injuries, while the Saints are poised to reclaim their crown.

New Orleans has gone 5-1 SU and ATS in their last 6 meetings with Atlanta. It’s a record that’s poised to improve as the Falcons are also a league-worst 2-8 ATS this season, including four losses in a row.

3. Indianapolis Colts (+1)

Next Game: at Arizona Cardinals (November 24, 4:05 PM ET)

Indianapolis+Colts+v+Arizona+Cardinals+CWnaO7-f9Cwl

Indianapolis hasn’t looked impressive since its upset of the Broncos, enough to dissuade the oddsmakers from making it a favorite on the road over the Cardinals. That shouldn’t faze Andrew Luck and the Colts, who are 4-1 SU and ATS on the road this season.

And since any SU win would also win the spread, it should also bode well that Indianapolis is also 4-1 SU in their last 5 games against Arizona.

4. San Francisco 49ers (-5)

Next Game: at Washington Redskins (November 25, 8:30 PM ET)

The 49ers are desperate to bounce back after two close losses, and they can do just that when they head to Washington to face the 3-7 Redskins. San Francisco is pretty comfortable on the road, going 4-1-1 ATS in its last 6 road games.

The Niners are also adept at handling the Redskins, with a 10-3 SU record in their last 13 meetings.

5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+9)

Next Game: at Detroit Lions (November 24, 1:00 PM ET)

It’s time to believe in Tampa! After an awful 0-8 start, he Buccaneers have won back-to-back SU games. And don’t forget how they pushed the 16-point favorite Seahawks all the way to ignite a 3-0 ATS record in their last 3 games.

Their next opponents, meanwhile, are the 6-4 Detroit Lions (5-5 ATS) who have not been favored by more than 4 points the entire season.

Also, expect some points to be scored between these two teams. The over has gone 6-0 in Tampa Bay’s last six games, while the over has also gone 4-1 in the Lions’ last five games.
