NFL Week 5 Betting Tips Preview
Only two teams have a 100% record as we enter week 5. Both the Minnesota Vikings and the San Francisco 49ers have a 4-0 record, while the Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, Houston Texans and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are at the other end of the spectrum with 0-4.
At least one team should get their first win as the Titans and Texans meet on Sunday, but I cannot see the Dolphins or Bucs getting off the mark this week.
There are just 30 teams playing in week 5 with Kansas City Chiefs and Carolina Panthers on their bye week. It would still be impossible to write previews and distribute NFL betting tips on every single game. So, the remainder of this page will feature previews for some of the games I think will steal the show in week 5.

Buccaneers @ Cowboys - Friday 01:15 BST
Dallas Cowboys left it late to secure a 34-30 win over the winless Houston Texans in week 4, and they will be eager to kick on against another winless team in Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Cowboys QB Dak Prescott found some form late in the game, and if he continues to keep using his legs and finding CeeDee Lamb more often, then the Bucs will be done and dusted by the end of the third quarter. The Cowboys will be pinning most of their hopes on their star QB, but unfortunately the Bucs cannot do that. Baker Mayfield is still on the sidelines with a thumb injury, meaning undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels will get his second start. He had a mixed game against Green Bay Packers last time out as he threw for 148 yards and a touchdown, but he was picked off twice, and that is something the Dallas secondary will have been researching. I cannot see anything other than a Dallas win - especially at home. Prescott and Lamb are the key to a Dallas win. I am backing Prescott to throw 2+ TD passes and over 250 passing yards. I am also backing him to rush for a TD with Lamb scoring 2+ touchdowns. I can see it being a long night for Tampa Bay.
