Since the 2020 season, the Under has hit in 68.6% of Giants games, nearly 10% more often than any other team. The Under is off to a 4-0 start for New York this year with only 144 total points scored, making that side potentially appealing for Week 5 NFL picks as the Giants head to Seattle on Sunday. New York’s bottom-five scoring offense and both teams ranking in the top half of the league in scoring defense could help you believe that the Week 5 NFL odds of 43.5 total points for this game won’t be reached. The over-under has fallen a full point after opening at 44.5, while the Seahawks are favored by 6.5.
However, the Over is 3-1 for the Seahawks this season, and Seattle just allowed 42 points in a game that sailed over. Granted, the Giants won’t be confused for the Detroit Lions, but NFL bettors should be mindful with their Week 5 NFL over-unders that New York’s offense could produce better than expected against a weary Seahawks defense. Before you make any Week 5 NFL picks or NFL parlays, be sure to see the NFL predictions and betting advice from SportsLine’s proven computer model.

Top Week 5 NFL total picks
One part of the five-line NFL totals parlay we can reveal: The model says the Over (49) hits in Ravens vs. Bengals. These AFC North rivals played each other four times during the 2023 calendar year. All four matchups went over, notably the two divisional contests from last season. The one in Cincinnati saw 51 points scored, eclipsing the over-under of 45.5, and the matchup in Baltimore saw 54 combined points, going over 46.5.
The success of the Over stretches beyond 2023 for these fierce rivals, as seven of the last 10 meetings, both regular and postseason, have gone over. In 2024, Cincinnati has seen its last three games go over the point total, while Baltimore saw its first three go over. Its most recent matchup with Buffalo would have likely as well had the Ravens not pulled their starters with a big lead. The model recognizes the overwhelming trends in this matchup and has the Over hitting nearly 60% of the time, projecting 55 combined points. See which other NFL over/under parlay picks to make here.
