NFL office pool picks can help you stay engaged throughout the season. The Week 5 NFL schedule could be upset-laden once again after multiple underdogs won outright last week. However, one team that took care of business was the San Francisco 49ers, who secured a 35-16 victory over the Arizona Cardinals as 14.5-point favorites. Star running back Christian McCaffrey scored four touchdowns in San Francisco’s victory and has now scored in 13 straight games for the 49ers, a franchise record that was held by Jerry Rice.
The 49ers will square off against the Dallas Cowboys, creating a dilemma for anyone making NFL confidence pool picks. The 49ers are 3.5-point favorites over the Cowboys in the Week 5 NFL odds. Will San Francisco cover the spread at home, and which teams should you target as you make your NFL pool picks? Before you make your NFL predictions, you need to see the Week 5 NFL football pool picks from SportsLine’s proven computer model.

Top Week 5 NFL office pool predictions
One of the top Week 5 NFL predictions from the model: The Detroit Lions (-10) comfortably beat the Carolina Panthers at home. The Lions made a statement to the league with their convincing 34-20 victory over the Green Bay Packers last Thursday.
Detroit’s defense wreaked havoc against the Packers, recording five sacks and two interceptions. Running back David Montgomery also had a strong showing against Green Bay, carrying the ball 32 times for 121 yards and three touchdowns.
The Panthers, meanwhile, have struggled offensively this season, averaging just 16.8 points per game. Carolina is winless through the first four weeks of the 2023 season and 2-12 in its last 14 games on the road. SportsLine’s model expects Carolina’s road struggles will continue on Sunday as the Lions record a comfortable 28-18 win at home. See the rest of the model’s Week 5 NFL pool picks here.
