The New York Giants will travel to Seattle on Sunday. Cross-country flights haven’t been too kind to the G-Men, which a prudent Week 5 NFL betting strategy should take into account. Last year, the Giants went 0-5 against the spread playing west of the Mississippi, compared to 8-3-1 ATS playing east of it. However, any NFL spread picks or Week 5 NFL parlay picks should also take into account that New York is coming off a mini-bye from playing on Thursday Night Football, while the Seahawks will have short rest after losing on Monday.
The Dolphins will also have to contend with short rest after losing on Monday and will fly to New England for a Sunday divisional contest. The Patriots are favored by one point in the slimmest of the Week 5 NFL spreads, while Miami has not covered in a single game this season. Add in that the Dolphins are 1-7 against the spread as underdogs since the start of 2023 and this game will generate plenty of NFL betting interest even with the small spread. Before you make any Week 5 NFL picks or NFL parlays, be sure to see what SportsLine senior analyst Larry Hartstein has to say.
A former lead writer for Covers and The Linemakers, Hartstein combines a vast network of Vegas sources with an analytical approach he honed working for Pro Football Focus. Hartstein tied for 52nd place (out of 1,598 entries) in the 2022 Westgate Las Vegas SuperContest, going 53-34-3 ATS. His weekly Vegas contest selections form the basis of his NFL best bets column, which is 83-55-3 (60.1%, +22.15 units) since its inception in 2022.
For Week 5, Hartstein has locked in three confident best bets. If you successfully parlay his picks, you’re looking at a payout of almost 6-1. You can only see Hartstein’s Week 5 NFL picks at SportsLine.
