The Dallas Cowboys hope to continue their success without Dak Prescott when they visit the reigning Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams during the Week 5 NFL schedule. Dallas (3-1) has posted three consecutive victories with Cooper Rush filling in for Prescott, who fractured his thumb in the season-opener against Tampa Bay. The Rams (2-2) have won three of their last four meetings with the Cowboys, including a victory in the 2018 NFC Divisional playoffs. Los Angeles is a 4.5-point favorite in the latest Week 5 NFL odds at Caesars Sportsbook. Which Week 5 NFL lines should you target with your Week 5 NFL bets?

Top Week 5 NFL picksAfter simulating every game 10,000 times, the model is high on the Miami Dolphins (-3.5) to win and cover against the New York Jets on Sunday. The Dolphins have won eight of their last nine meetings with the Jets, including the last four. They'll be without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) for this matchup, but backup Teddy Bridgewater is 42-21 as a starter in the NFL with a 24-6 record on the road.
New York has struggled at home this season, allowing 51 points while scoring just one touchdown in its two losses. New York quarterback Zach Wilson had a rough time last season in his only career game against Miami, completing only 13-of-23 pass attempts for 170 yard without a touchdown while being sacked six times. That is one reason the Dolphins are covering the spread in well over 50% of simulations. See which other NFL parlay picks to make here.
