NFL Week 5 gambling preview: Bet on Trevor Lawrence, plus other picks

The fifth Sunday of the 2026 NFL regular season will be here soon. It's time to sit back, relax, and enjoy some football. Before the third Sunday festivities of the year kick off, here are our gambling picks for the Week 5 slate. Trevor Lawrence hasn't been using his legs much to start this season, but we will see that change this week. Lawrence and the Jaguars face off against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. While they are currently dealing with a plethora of injuries, the Eagles still have plenty of healthy talent on the defensive side of the ball. Philly's ability to get after the quarterback has forced opposing quarterbacks to run against them at a high rate. In four games this year, the Eagles have seen quarterbacks run the ball 16 times against their defense. I think we see that trend continue Sunday as Lawrence uses his legs to escape some sacks and pick up extra yardage. Both the Bengals and Seahawks are in great spots in Week 5. Cincinnati is going up against arguably the worst team in football, the Miami Dolphins, with Seattle facing off against a San Francisco 49ers team due for some regression in a tough road matchup. While the 49ers are 4-0, two of their wins have come against the Cardinals and Dolphins. Those blowout victories have overinflated their value, and we will see the defending Super Bowl champs bring them down a peg on Sunday afternoon. Take both Cincinnati and Seattle to win on Sunday.
