NFL Betting Tips: Kansas City to stay unbeaten, Falcons in for a low-scoring affair

Last week saw Sports News Blitz struggle, with only one pick offering returns after an electrifying weekend of action.

Kansas City Chiefs remained undefeated while the Buffalo Bills were outclassed by the Baltimore Ravens, raising questions over the true quality of a team that looked to be a potential dark horse.

This week Sky Sports NFL will be showing three games through the weekend and once again the Sky Bet Markets have been scoured, finding some of the top picks ahead of gameweek five.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Atlanta Falcons

Both teams are coming off the back of strong wins at the weekend. The Atlanta Falcons have a fantastic record against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, winning seven of their last 10 meetings.

The Falcons will be hoping their luck is beginning to take a turn, full of expectations ahead of the season, as a revamped offense has struggled to make its mark through the opening month.

The Falcons are trailing towards the end of the pack in several offensive statistics, most worryingly only converting 40% from inside the red zone.

On the other side of the coin, the Buccaneers are off to a flying start. Spearheaded by a new offensive coordinator, Liam Coen has the side looking deadly on the front foot.

However, questions still linger regarding the true ability of the Tampa Bay side. 

An inexperienced Washington side and injury-plagued Eagles have provided two of their three wins this season.

Where the Buccaneers have struggled is in their run defense, ranking last in EPA (Expected Points Added) allowed per handoff. If the Falcons can exploit this, fans could be in for a close game.

Suggested Bet: Under Points (40.5) @ 11/8

Dallas Cowboys at Pittsburgh Steelers

In the five games these two have played in the 21st century, 4.8 points have decided each game on average, and all signs are pointing to another razor-thin clash.

Justin Fields will be starting again for the Pittsburgh Steelers this week. Russell Wilson is still out with a calf injury, though in the meantime, Fields has slotted in nicely.

While far from perfect on Sunday, the young QB finished with 367 yards of total offense and three touchdowns. 

Unfortunately, it was still not enough to save the Steelers as Indianapolis handed them defeat.

The Dallas Cowboys found themselves in a more positive situation this weekend, with a 20-15 victory against the New York Giants.

However, the Cowboys' defense looks thin. Micah Parsons and De Marcus Lawrence are both likely to miss this weekend, potentially leaving an opportunity for Pittsburgh to capitalise.

Suggested Bet: Pittsburgh Steelers (-7.5) @ 5/2

New Orlean Saints at Kansas City Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs are now the only undefeated side in the AFC, continuing to look like Super Bowl locks as they have strolled through the opening month.

However, without Rashee Rice, Patrick Mahomes is now without perhaps his biggest target and will have to place more trust in his other options in week five.

Unfortunately for the Saints, even without their biggest offensive weapon, the Chiefs will still be hard to beat. 

In the last two weeks, the Chiefs have ranked sixth in EPA allowed.

Despite the loss of Rashee Rice, at home the Chiefs look almost impossible to beat, and will likely be leaving with a decisive win against the Saints.

Suggested Bet: Kansas City Chiefs (-7.5) @ 11/8
