A rundown of the Week 5 schedule with staff picks and analysis from handicapper Vegas Vic.

SUNDAY

EAGLES (-6) Cardinals (O/U: 45), 1 p.m.

Quick hit: Last year, with David Johnson running wild, the Cardinals were sixth in points scored. This year, without Johnson (out with a broken wrist), they are 22nd.

Cardinals vs. spread: 0-4

Eagles vs. spread: 2-2

Vegas Vic’s take: Can you see the drool at each corner of Jim Schwartz’s mouth? Look close. His defense gets to run wild against Carson Palmer, who is about as mobile as a pinball machine.
