Betting odds NFL Week 5 2024 – Cowboys-Steelers odds, picks, lines

In Sunday’s final game of Week 5, Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys (2-2) will play Justin Fields and the Pittsburgh Steelers (3-1). The Steelers have surprised many with a strong start to the season. Led by dual-threat QB Justin Fields, the Steelers offense has been on a roll so far this season, with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith finding ways to play to his quarterbacks’ strengths. Fields and third-year WR George Pickens have developed a bond, as he ranks in the top 20 in the league in goals (29) and receptions (20).

Meanwhile, the Cowboys enter Sunday night with multiple injuries. Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence and Brandin Cooks will all be out and with Cordarrelle Patterson and Jaylen Warren out for the Steelers, it’s likely that Najee Harris will see a heavy workload in the backfield. Despite the 2-2 start, Prescott has ranked a solid fourth in passing yards, but Dallas has one of the worst rushing offenses in the league.

The Steelers opened as 2.5-point favorites in the game, bringing the total to 43.5 points. Here’s everything you need to know to bet Cowboys-Steelers on “Sunday Night Football.”

Andre Snellings’ choice

Justin Fields 200+ passing yards (+115).

After the Steelers took a conservative offensive approach in the first two games of the season, Fields has settled in and been more aggressive as a passer over the past two. He completed 25 of 32 passes for 245 yards against a solid Chargers pass defense in Week 3, followed by 22 of 34 attempts and 312 passing yards against the Colts in Week 4.

The Cowboys have an explosive offense that should be able to put points on the board even against a tough Steelers defense, meaning Fields may have to operate through the air to keep the game competitive. But the Cowboys will be without their top two defensive pass rushers in Micah Parsons and Dexter Lawrence, giving Fields more time to work the ball downfield. Since Deshaun Watson was contained in the opener, all three other quarterbacks the Cowboys have faced have thrown for at least 243 yards.
