“Bear Bets” are real wagers that Chris “The Bear” Fallica is actually making.
We’re on to Week 5, and I’ve got my eyes on a handful of games.
For those new to this space, if you are looking for a few wagers to get in on the NFL action, I have you covered. Nothing makes football better than having a few bucks on the games weekly.
We went .500 in Week 4. Let’s try to build on that.
Last Week: 1-1 (Season: 9-5)
(All times ET)
Sunday, Oct. 6
Colts @ Jaguars (1 p.m., CBS)
The Jags are the lone 0-4 team in the league but very easily could be 2-2 or 3-1. The defense has its holes, but are the Colts — which might not have Anthony Richardson or Jonathan Taylor this week — the team which can exploit those woes? At some point the Jags losing streak has to end and if it doesn’t end this week, there’s a chance Doug Pederson will not need his passport next week. Bad matchup, too, for a bad Indy secondary against the Jags wide receivers.
PICK: Jaguars (-2.5) to win by more than 2.5 points

The Bengals defense isn’t very good, but I think the Ravens D might have some holes as well. About the only thing certain in the NFL is that you aren’t going to get the same team week in and week out.

PICK: Bengals (+2.5) to lose by fewer than 2.5 points, or win outright
Cardinals @ 49ers (4:05 p.m., FOX/FOX Sports App)
No Christian McCaffrey for the Niners, but Brock Purdy has been terrific and should have his other offensive weapons this week. Arizona was completely shredded by Jayden Daniels and the Commanders offense last week, and its task isn’t any easier this week. As professionals, of course, the Cards will be motivated to improve on that performance, but the…
