NFL Predictions Week 5

SFpageheader

We had a strong week 4 going 10-5 (67%) predicting game winners and 9-6 (60%) ATS!

Ranking and Previewing NFL Week 5 Games:

14. Jaguars at Bucs – Two teams that are looking towards the draft already.  It might be better to lose and get the higher pick than win this one.

13. Bears at Chiefs – The Bears got a late FG to win over the Raiders so they come in off a win while the Chiefs have lost 3 straight.  KC returns home though and should play well at home.

12. Colts at Texans – The Colts aren’t sure who will be the starting QB.  JJ Watt will be ready to sack whomever lines up under center.  Look for the Texans to try to steal one on Thursday night.

11. Browns at Ravens – The Ravens need the defense to step up if they’re going to be contenders.  The Browns should keep this one close but Baltimore wins at home.

10. Saints at Eagles – Two teams that really need wins if they’re gonna make the playoffs.  This one could turn into a shootout.

9. 49ers at Giants – The Giants are playing great while the Niners are struggling.  Things should continue at least one more week.

8. Cardinals at Lions – The Lions had a horrible call go against them that could have cost them a win in Seattle on Monday night.  They’ll be motivated and take this won to the wire.

7. Patriots at Cowboys – Greg Hardy is ready for Tom Brady.  If the Pats jump to an early lead, can the Cowboys catch up?

6. Broncos at Raiders – The Raiders will hang with the Broncos but look for Peyton Manning to find a way to pull one out in Oakland on Sunday.

5. Bills at Titans – The Bills look to bounce back after a disappointing performance at home last Sunday while the Titans come off a bye week.  Will Marcus Mariota handle the Bills pressure?

4. Steelers at Chargers – This should be a great game Monday night.  Phillip Rivers should be able to lead his team to a W.

3. Rams at Packers – The Rams have impressive wins and disappointing losses.  They usually rise to the occasion so they should hang with the Packers.  Aaron Rodgers is playing amazing football and will keep the Pack rolling at home.

2. Redskins at Falcons – The Redskins are coming off a win but head on the road to the undefeated Falcons.  Look for Matt Ryan and Julio Jones continue to put up great numbers and move to 5-0.

1. Seahawks at Bengals – The game of the week is hosted by the undefeated Cincinnati Bengals.  The Seahawks travel on a short week and should be ready to try to end the undefeated start in Cincy.
