The Week 5 NFL schedule has arrived, with the only two undefeated teams trying to keep their perfect starts alive. Minnesota (4-0) faces Aaron Rodgers and the Jets in London on Sunday, while Kansas City (4-0) hosts New Orleans on Monday Night Football. The other primetime games feature Falcons vs. Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football and Steelers vs. Cowboys on Sunday Night Football.
If you are looking for NFL picks, NFL picks, fantasy football rankings or NFL DFS picks for Week 5, SportsLine has you covered with its proven model, AI PickBot and team of experts. They even have one pick that gives a whopping +21000, so be sure to see what they have to say.
Falcons vs. Buccaneers Thursday Night Football picks
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will try to build on their 3-1 start to the season when they take on the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday Night Football. The SportsLine model likes the Over (43.5) in that game, and it also has revealed its options on the spread and money line. Expert Larry Hartstein, who is on a 49-25-2 ATS roll in Falcons games, also has posted his best bet for TNF.
If you’re looking for DFS picks for Falcons vs. Buccaneers, SportsLine has several experts to choose from. DFS millionaire Mike McClure likes Falcons running back Bijan Robinson as one of his top picks, and you can find the rest of his picks here. Jimmie Kaylor, who has multiple five-figure tournament wins on his DFS resume, includes Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins in his TNF DFS strategy.
Additionally, the AI PickBot has five NFL player props rated 4.5 stars or better by TNF. One of its top picks is Falcons wide receiver Drake London to go over 63.5 receiving yards. You can see the other four top rated NFL props from the AI PickBot here.
Self-learning AI reveals top NFL picks
SportsLine AI hit nearly 1,700 highly ranked picks during the 2023 NFL season, and it has already nailed 128 4-star picks or better this season. Now it’s back with its picks on the spread, moneyline and total for every Week 5 NFL game. It supports the Cardinals (+7.5) against the 49ers on Sunday, projecting a final score of 27.5-24.0 in favor of San Francisco. See AI picks for every Week 5 NFL game right here.
The NFL picks could generate massive payouts
SportsLine’s model has returned well over $7,000 on top-rated picks since its inception, so those picks can confidently be used to build NFL picks. The model built a five-team talk for Week 5 that pays 25-1, and one of the legs is Buffalo (-1) to cover at Houston. The Bills cover more than 50% of simulations, and the rest of the five-team parolay can be found here.
SportsLine pundit Larry Hartstein finished tied for 52nd out of 1,598 entries in the 2022 Westgate Las Vegas SuperContest after going 53-34-3 against the spread, and he also revealed Week 5 NFL talk. His three-team parlay, which pays 6-1, includes the Broncos (-2.5) coverage against the Raiders. He also supports an underdog to have a strong showing against a shaky defense, and you can see which team is here.
Fantasy rankings to help you win your matches
The model simulates each game 10,000 times, which has helped it produce better Fantasy rankings than human experts over the past few seasons. It unveiled its Week 5 fantasy football position rankings that can be used to make starting decisions. Ravens running back Derrick Henry is its top-rated running back of the week, but it also has full rankings for each position.
Hall of Fame analyst Dave Richard knows that strength of schedule is an important part of Fantasy football, and he updates his projections every week. His rankings show how the schedule affects every major Fantasy player for the next four weeks, the playoff stretch and the entire season. They’re broken down by position so you can see exactly how easy or challenging a potential waiver wire or trade target has it in the short and long term compared to the rest of the league, and his Week 5 updated strength of schedule rankings are available here.
NFL DFS picks from top experts
Lead Fantasy writer Heath Cummings is a DFS expert who posts his top DFS targets and sleepers every week. He provides statistical projections as well as Fantasy point totals for each player in different scoring formats, making it easy to find the best value picks. Cummings loves 49ers running back Jordan Mason this week, ranking him second in his DFS running back picks. You can get his top picks for each position in Week 5 here.
SportsLine also has DFS optimization that simulates each game 10,000 times and uses information from the SportsLine Advanced-Data Projection Model and DFS Professional Millionaire Mike McClure to identify best DFS picks/plays for any slate. It has Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson ranked as its top quarterback, while 49ers wideout Deebo Samuel is its top wide receiver. Here are its complete NFL DFS rankings.
An advanced NFL model simulates each game 10,000 times
