In Week 5 of the NFL regular season, two of the NFL’s most iconic franchises will face off on Sunday Night Football. The Pittsburgh Steelers host the Dallas Cowboys.
Where to Watch Steelers vs Colts
- Location: Acrisure Stadium (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)
- Time: 8:20 p.m. ET | Where to Watch: NBC
- Spread: Steelers -1.5 | Moneyline: Steelers -136 | Total: 43.5
Cowboys vs Steelers Best Bet ATS: Steelers -1.5 (-115)
The Dallas Cowboys are entering this matchup beat up after a victory in Week 4 over the New York Giants. They did get some extra time to heal with a mini bye week, but they aren’t expected to get some key parts back for this matchup, namely Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence. Those are two key components on defense for Dallas, and with the visitors already struggling against the run, it might be difficult to control the game against a run-heavy group in Pittsburgh. The Steelers should be getting some reinforcements back on their offensive line, which makes us bullish that they can get back in the win column in this big Week 5 clash at home.
Steelers vs. Colts Best Bet Total: UNDER 43.5 (-110)
I think there could be some sneaky offense present in this matchup. If the Steelers find success running the football early, the Cowboys will have to air it out, which is one area the Steelers have proven to be susceptible on defense early. The Steelers are coming off their highest scoring of the year in Week 4, and with the Cowboys’ injuries on defense, their offense should continue rolling. The Steelers proved they can also play catch-up in Indianapolis, making this game somewhat game-script-proof. I like for points to be scored early and often on Sunday night in the Steel City.

Steelers vs. Colts Best Player Props
Najee Harris OVER 64.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
It’s been a solid start to the year for Harris in the Steelers’ backfield. After a poor showing from the run game in Week 4 against Indianapolis, we’ll go back to the well with Harris and run game prop in Week 5 on Sunday night. Even after a better showing against the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football in Week 4, the Cowboys have still been dismal against the run. With some injuries on the defensive front for the Cowboys, Harris should have another big day in line for Pittsburgh.
