Several intriguing NFL matchups will take the spotlight during the Week 5 schedule. One of the headliners is Christian McCaffrey and the San Francisco 49ers hosting Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. The Cowboys are 3.5-point underdogs in the Week 5 NFL odds according to the SportsLine consensus. Dallas is 4-1 in its last five games against San Francisco on the road, but should you include the Cowboys in your Week 5 NFL office pool picks?
Elsewhere on Sunday, Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals will visit Joshua Dobbs and the Arizona Cardinals. Will Burrow lead his team to victory on the road, or will the Cardinals pull off the upset in Week 5, upending plenty of NFL confidence pool picks?

Top Week 5 NFL office pool predictions
One of the top Week 5 NFL predictions from the model: The Detroit Lions (-9.5) comfortably beat the Carolina Panthers at home. The Lions feature one of the most dominant defenses in the NFL, giving up just 280.5 yards per game, which ranks fourth in the league. Detroit’s defense is led by Aidan Hutchinson, who’s already recorded 3.5 sacks. In addition to a disruptive defense, the Lions feature an offense that’s averaging 386.3 yards per game.
The Panthers, meanwhile, have struggled to win on the road. In fact, Carolina is 2-12 in its last 14 road games and is averaging just 16.8 points per game this season. SportsLine’s model expects Detroit’s defense to hold Carolina to 18 points on Sunday, helping the Lions win outright in well over 70% of simulations.
