Jason La Canfora's 2023 NFL Week 5 picks: Vikings vs. Chiefs among insider's best bets

We've reached the portion of the season where certain teams have a siren call I find difficult to resist as long as Vegas keeps offering similar numbers on their games, and others I find it difficult to invest in.

It has nothing to do with liking the team, or how they play or any individual player or coach – heck, in actuality these teams tend to offer little in terms of aesthetics or popularity – and more with a certain predictability and consistency in their outcomes and numbers over an increasing sample size. I crave tendencies and hallmarks in both output and how certain staffs manage in-game situations, and some clubs are offering it to me more than others. Thus you can expect them to continue showing up here unless something drastically changes in their roster or production, or unless my research in one particular week temporarily puts me off of them.

Here's what I'm playing for Week 5.
