NFL Week 5 Free Pick: Take Buffalo. The Eagles are a mess right now and while they have too much talent to keep losing week after week, it’s hard not to take the home dog in this situation. Philadelphia’s pass protection has really struggled, as has its run defense and pass coverage. As long as the Bills’ young offensive line continues to protect Ryan Fitzpatrick Buffalo has a good chance to pull off the outright upset. But again, it’s imperative that the Bills’ O-line plays well because the Eagles have one of the more dominating pass rushes in the league, led by defensive end Trent Cole. According to latest NFL trends, the Eagles are just 1-6 against the spread in their last seven games overall and 1-7 ATS in their last eight games as a favorite.
