What the Numbers Mean
The spreads tell you who oddsmakers think will win. A negative number before a team’s name means they are the favorite — the Cowboys at -9.5, the Jaguars at -6.5. A positive number means the underdog gets points added to their final score.
The moneyline shows the payout. A favorite at -476 pays out less than $1 for every dollar wagered, while the underdog at +380 pays more than $3 for every dollar wagered. The larger the number, the bigger the risk.
The totals are over/under bets. If the combined score is above the posted total, the over wins. Anything below the posted total, the under wins.
Where to Bet
The betting links come with promo codes attached. DraftKings offers $150 in bonus bets after a $5 wager. Kalshi gives $55 as a sign-up bonus with the code CBSSPORTS55. BetMGM offers up to $1,500 in bonus bets with the code CBSSPORTS. FanDuel and Fanatics each offer $250 in bonus bets.

Our View
This is a fun week to watch football, but the odds are not the story. The spreads look generous in some spots — 9.5 points between Dallas and Tampa is a large margin — and the totals are high across the board, especially on Monday night at 54.5. The promo codes are real, but they are marketing dollars, not a reason to bet.
The Bears-Packers game stands out for its spread. Chicago is three points underdogs, and the moneyline has the Bears at -142 and the Packers at +136. That is a close contest on both sides.
The Falcons-Ravens game on Sunday draws attention because the Ravens are the favorites on both the spread and the moneyline. The spread is just 2.5 points, which makes it a close call either way.
The Week 5 NFL odds are out, and the games start Thursday night. The betting markets will move as the week goes on, so check back before you place a wager. The promo codes are real — just make sure you are betting responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
The season is young, and Week 5 is a chance to see which teams are for real and which ones are still finding their footing. The betting lines are set, the games are scheduled, and the promo codes are ready. All that is left is to pick your side and hope the ball bounces your way.
