Making successful NFL office pool picks involves knowing when you can afford to take big risks. It’s what allows you to differentiate your NFL picks on a weekly basis without going completely against the grain. The Bills were massive 17.5-point favorites over the Texans last week and were easy NFL confidence pool picks in what wound up being a 40-0 win. Can you trust Buffalo in your NFL pool picks against the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football this week?
At the same time, we also saw the Cardinals, Jets, Giants and Colts win outright as underdogs last week. Which teams should you back confidently as you make your Week 5 NFL football pool picks and which teams should you be more skeptical of? Before you make your NFL predictions, you need to see the Week 5 NFL football pool picks from SportsLine’s proven model.

Top Week 5 NFL office pool predictions
One of the top Week 5 NFL pick’em predictions from the model: The Cowboys cruise past the Giants for a comfortable nine-point win. The Cowboys look like one of the best teams in the NFC through the first month of the season. They took the Buccaneers to the wire in Week 1 and won on the road against the Chargers in dramatic fashion before dominating at home against the Eagles and Panthers.
Dallas’ offense has found balance during its three-game winning streak, passing for 629 yards and rushing for 603 while averaging 32.3 points per game. Quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott are both thriving behind a rejuvenated offensive line.
The Giants have given up at least 400 yards of total offense to three of their four opponents this season and rank 20th in passing yards allowed and rushing yards allowed. The model expects stops to be tough to come by for the Giants as the Cowboys pile up well over 400 yards and score 32 points on average.
