Cowboys at Steelers NFL Week 5 Parlay Picks

The Week 5 Sunday Night Football clash between the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers will be just their fifth meeting in the last 16 years. But their rivalry has a lot of historical significance within the NFL. This is the most common Super Bowl matchup with the clubs battling three times for the Lombardi Trophy, though the last was at the end of the 1995 season, which was also the last time the Boys played in the Big Game. Both have Super Bowl aspirations this season with the Steelers off to a 3-1 start behind Justin Fields and a smothering defense. Dallas ended a 2-game slide beating the Giants, 20-15, in the Week 4 Thursday night contest and has the benefit of a mini-bye. Pittsburgh has three payouts this season and hit the board as a 2.5-point favorite at the Crypto Sportsbook.

It wasn’t as bad as last week but I still failed to hit my three-wager same game parlay in the SNF matchup between Buffalo and Baltimore. The Bills looked like the best team in the NFL winning their first three games by 64 points. Injuries and questionable depth on defense finally caught up with them. They couldn’t stop Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson accounted for three TDs in Baltimore’s 35-10 win covering the 2.5-point line. Jackson fell short of his rushing yards total but the teams did play below the total so it wasn’t a complete failure.

The line for the Week 5 matchup also opened with a 2.5-point line in favor of the home team and despite their 3-1 record I have a hard time trusting the Steelers. Don’t let the numbers fool you they’re still not very good on offense. Playing catch up after falling behind 17-0, the Steelers amassed more than 400 yards with Fields having one of his best games statistically. He was 22 of 34 for 312 yards with a touchdown with an additional 55 yards and two TDs on 10 rush attempts.

While the offense got going the usually reliable defense yielded more points in the 27-24 loss than they did in the first three games combined. One week after allowing just three third down conversions in 11 attempts against the Chargers, the Colts converted eight of their 15 third down tries with veteran Joe Flacco leading the way.

Dallas will likely have to run the ball in order to keep Dak Prescott healthy. That could be a problem since the Boys have the worst ground game in the NFL averaging just 75.3 yards. Dallas led the NFL in scoring last year with the fifth-best total offense. They haven’t suddenly become bad, but a change in personnel has affected the outlook. Reuniting with Ezekiel Elliott hasn’t produced the intended results and having someone that can effectively run the football is a must.

Prescott can carry the team and he’ll have to until the running back situation is solved. Dak was efficient in the win over the Giants completing 22 of 27 passes for 221 yards and a pair of TDs. The Cowboys had just 80 rushing yards on 23 carries with a long run of 10 yards. They had a strong game from their defense allowing five field goals and not touchdowns. The group limited the Giants to just over 300 yards and forced a turnover.

However, with starters Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence on the shelf it’s hard to imagine the Boys involved in another defensive struggle. They held the Giants to 26 rushing yards on 24 carries but the problems stopping the run are not fixed. The Boys allowed 464 yards on the ground in losses to New Orleans and Baltimore, and the Steelers average nearly 130 yards on the ground. I can see this game going OVER the relatively low total of 42.5 and I think the Cowboys will reach deep inside to get a cover.
