5,17,37,---,101
  5 =   4+1 =  2²+1 = 1st even natural number squared plus 1.
 17 =  16+1 =  4²+1 = 2nd even natural number squared plus 1.
 37 =  36+1 =  6²+1 = 3rd even natural number squared plus 1.
  ↏ =   ↏+1 =  ↏²+1 = ↏th even natural number squared plus 1.
101 = 100+1 = 10²+1 = 5th even natural number squared plus 1.

I'll bet you can fill in the boxes yourself.
