Best early bet for NFL Week 5: 49ers -3.5 over Cowboys (-110)
In my opinion, the San Francisco 49ers are the best team in football. The Niners stayed perfect with a 35-16 win over the Cardinals in Week 4 in which Brock Purdy completed 20 of 21 attempts and Christian McCaffrey finished with 4 touchdowns. The game wasn’t expected to be close in the first place, but it was still impressive to see San Francisco grab the lead early and never look back. That means the 49ers have won by 23, 7, 18 and 19 points through 4 weeks. The Niners have yet to meet a team that could compete with them, and it won’t come in Week 5 either. Oddsmakers seem rather high on the Cowboys after their Week 4 win over the Patriots, but let’s be honest, the New England offense isn’t too dangerous. I would take the 49ers up to a touchdown, so their 3.5-point spread is a gift.
