We’re through four weeks of NFL action with lots of turmoil between clubs as upsets and injuries (and penalties) begin to pile up across the league. The Ravens lost Lamar Jackson, although winning for many survivor picks, and the Atlanta Falcons won another road game with over 40 points scored against the New Orleans Saints. Oh yeah, and plenty of penalties. As we enter Week 5, an unusual situation is brewing where one of the most popular survivor picks is an 0-4 team. Many are fading the state of Florida as well, with popular picks going against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Miami Dolphins.

Let’s go through the best Week 5 survivor picks, which teams are the most popular among picks, along with game spreads and staff picks.

Dallas Cowboys (-9.5 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers)

Dallas is the week’s biggest favorite at -9.5, with the Cowboys riding a top-five offense in points per drive into a short-week spot against a Tampa Bay team playing backup QB Jalon Daniels and missing key pieces of its secondary.

Houston Texans (-7 vs. Tennessee Titans)

Houston is giving 6.5 in an all-winless divisional clash, leaning on C.J. Stroud’s 347-yard effort last week and Tennessee’s offense, which is averaging just 13.8 points a game.

Cincinnati Bengals (-7 vs. Miami Dolphins)

Cincinnati is favored by 7.5 despite a two-game skid and a banged-up receiving corps — Ja’Marr Chase is in the concussion protocol and Tee Higgins is dealing with an adductor injury — against a winless but scrappy Dolphins team.
