Betting on the first few weeks of the NFL can be a challenge. It's tough to know whether to trust early-season results or your preseason expectations.
With five weeks in the books, now we're starting to get a large enough sample size to draw conclusions about teams. Surprising teams, such as the Cleveland Browns, should now be taken seriously. And it's probably time to start bailing on disappointing teams such as the Denver Broncos.
So as you get ready to make your Week 6 picks, it's time to put an emphasis on early season results and, for the most part, throw your preseason expectations out the window.
