NFL Week 5 Picks

Bucs vs Falcons – An NFC South showdown as both teams have shown flashes of success. Atlanta is at home but I think the Bucs have the better overall team. Bucs 27 Falcons 24

Jets at Vikings- Vikings are red hot and the Jets are not. They are playing with loads of confidence and the defense is complimenting their play. I like the Vikings in a close one 30-28

Ravens at Bengals.- The Bengals have struggled this year giving up over 90 points in 3 games. The Ravens after a slow start have come alive and seem to be firing on all cylinders. Can the Bengals D contain the Ravens, I don’t think so. The Ravens have to beat themselves to lose this game. I like the Ravens 24-17.

Colts at Jaguars- The Jaguars are in turmoil right now and Trevor Lawrence does not look good at all. Colts are too well coached to lose this game. Colts 21-17.

Dolphins at Patriots- Having no Tua present a problem for the Dolphins and their star players are getting frustrated. This will be a low scoring ugly affair with the Pats winning 13-10.

Browns at Commanders- Jayden, Jayden, Jayden, it’s been the Jayden show for 4 weeks now. What can’t this kid do. The Browns D will present a stiffer challenge than last week, but not enough as the Commanders continue their winning ways and win 24-13.

Bills at Texans- The Bills got embarrassed and possibly exposed last week against the Ravens. They take out that frustration against the Texans this week 34-24.

Panthers at Bears- The Panthers have been playing better this last few weeks with Hubbard running efficiently. Look for the Bears and Caleb Williams to play their best game of the year. Bears 24 Panthers 10.

Raiders at Broncos- The Raiders have been playing ok but the latest is that Davante Adams wants to be traded. This distraction will be the reason they lose to the Broncos. 17-13.

Cards at 49ers- The Cards struggled mightily against the Commanders last week. Can they get back to their winning ways. Not this week as the well coached 49ers and Jordan Mason take this game handily. 49ers 30 Cards 20

Packers at Rams- The Rams have been decimated by injuries this year but still staying afloat. In this game the Packers and Jordan Love will prove to be too much. Packers 27 Rams 21

Giants at Seahawks- The Giants may be without Malik Nabers this week. That’s a problem because he’s their best weapon. I like the Seahawks big in Seattle 31-7.

Cowboys at Steelers- Which Cowboy team will we see this week. They need more weapons besides Ceedee Lamb otherwise they will struggle. The Steelers D will take away Lamb which will force Dallas to run, which they have struggled with. I like Pittsburgh at home 24-20.

Saints at Chiefs- The Saints have shown they can put up a lot of points behind Derek Carr. The problem is the Chiefs know that and will have a plan to stop them. No Rice, no problem as the Chief exemplify next man up like no other team. Look for both Mahomes and Kelce to have big games. Chiefs 31 Saints 17.
