The Jacksonville Jaguars are the only winless team playing during the Week 5 NFL schedule, but they are 3.5-point favorites against the Colts in the latest Week 5 NFL odds, up 2.5 from the opener. Jacksonville's offense has not scored more than 20 points in a game this season and the Jaguars are coming off back-to-back road losses. Indianapolis has notched consecutive wins over the Bears and Steelers to stay in contention with Houston atop the AFC South standings, but could be without quarterback Anthony Richardson (oblique) and running back Jonathan Taylor (out, ankle). Should you include either side of that game in your Week 5 NFL parlay picks?
Meanwhile, Kansas City is the only unbeaten team remaining in the AFC following road wins over the Falcons and Chargers. The Chiefs are 5.5-point favorites at home against the Saints on Monday Night Football in the Week 5 NFL odds, so Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy, and company could be popular Week 5 NFL betting picks, even after losing receiver Rashee Rice (knee). Kansas City has covered in all but one game this season and the game's over-under is 43 in the latest NFL lines.

Top Week 5 NFL picks
After simulating every game 10,000 times, the model is high on the Buffalo Bills (+1.5, 47.5) to cover on the road against the Houston Texans in a game whose line has already moved by 2.5 points. Buffalo found itself in an early hole at Baltimore in Week 4 and was unable to recover, suffering its first loss of the season. The Bills are still the second-highest scoring team in the NFL though, going over the 30-point mark in wins over the Cardinals, Dolphins and Jaguars.
Bills quarterback Josh Allen has thrown for 814 yards and seven touchdowns while rushing for 106 yards and two more scores. The Texans rank in the bottom half of the league in scoring offense, so they are going to have trouble matching Allen blow for blow on Sunday. SportsLine's model has Houston barely cracking the 20-point mark in this matchup, as Buffalo is covering the spread in well over 50% of simulations. See which other NFL parlay picks to make here.
