Top Week 5 NFL predictions
We can tell you one of the model’s strongest Week 5 NFL picks is that the Saints (-1.5, 41) cover the spread versus the Giants in a Sunday 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Jaxson Dart picked up a win in his first start, but the Giants also lost their best offensive player in losing Malik Nabers for the season. New York had just 89 team passing yards on Sunday, while the team averaged 243.3 passing yards with Russell Wilson under center. Even with the boost that Dart provided, New York still struggles immensely on the other side of the ball, ranking 30th in both total defense and run defense.
It’s that run defense which could be an issue in the Superdome as the Saints have a top-10 rushing offense. The Saints are coming off covering versus the Bills in which three different players had at least 49 rushing yards, and New Orleans had 189 yards on the ground as a team. The Saints have also racked up three-plus sacks in three of four games this year, while Dart was taken down five times in his starting debut. The model projects New Orleans to have four QB takedowns as it stifles New York’s offense, allowing the Saints to cover at home nearly 60% of the time. See which other teams to pick here.
Another one of its Week 5 NFL predictions: Cardinals (-7.5 41.5) cover versus Tennessee in nearly 60% of simulations. Arizona will have some extra rest after playing last Thursday, and no one has performed better versus the spread against non-conference opponents. The Cardinals have covered in seven straight games versus the AFC, while Tennessee is 0-6 ATS versus the NFC since the start of last season. The Titans have dropped three straight overall versus the spread, meaning they’ve picked up where they left off last year as their 3-18 spread record since 2024 is the worst in the NFL.
Tennessee was shut out, 26-0, by the previously winless Texans on Sunday, as the Titans have lost 10 straight games overall. They rank last in both points scored and yards gained, while sitting 26th in points allowed and yards allowed. Arizona has the No. 5 scoring defense and the No. 8 run defense, which could make the Titans overly rely on top pick Cam Ward. However, he just posted both his lowest passer rating and completion percentage as he’s yet to throw a touchdown in two road starts. The model also says the Over hits nearly 70% of the time.
