Here are PFF staff best bets in the late-afternoon Sunday window in Week 5:

Judah Fortgang: Live-bet game plan — Look to play the under if it creeps up to 48/49

• This chart is becoming one of our favorites for live betting — and for good reason.

BOTH THE RAMS AND COWBOYS ARE ABOVE AVERAGE ON SCRIPTED PAYS, BUT THEY ARE STRUGGLING TO SCORE ONCE THE SCRIPTED PLAYS FINISH.

• If the live line rises well above 43 with the live odds failing to account for what should be built in—these teams are much better scripted than not—bet the live under.

Martyn Carlisle: Philadelphia Eagles TE Dallas Goedert o44.5 receiving yards (-110) at Arizona Cardinals

• The Cardinals have played a bunch of the best tight ends in the league, so it is easy to see why they are at the bottom end of the scale when it comes to defending TE receptions, but things don't get any easier with Dallas Goedert up next. It has not just been the big names of Travis Kelce (8-121), Darren Waller (6-50) or Tyler Higbee (4-61) putting up numbers against the Cardinals over the middle of the field — the back ups in Kendall Blanton (1-28), Foster Moreau (3-30) and Tommy Tremble (3-34) have also had success. Goedert played fewer snaps in a blowout against Washington, his only game this season shy of 60-plus receiving yards.

Mike Renner: Carolina Panthers QB Baker Mayfield u0.5 pass TDs (+155) vs. San Francisco 49ers

• The 49ers have fielded the top defense in the NFL by pretty much any statistical measure you could think of through four games. They are tops in scoring (11.5 points per game), points per drive (.91), PFF defense grade (88.0) and EPA per play (-.220 ) — all by a healthy margin. They’ve allowed two passing touchdowns this season. The Panthers are dead last in passing game EPA per play this season, at -.23. That’s a good combination for this under.
