How did you do in week 4?
Did you expect the Jets vs. Broncos game to be so high-scoring? How about the dynamic play of Tom Brady?
The Browns continued to score in a prolific way, but the Cowboys did come back. Nick Foles’ magic ran out, while Joe Burrow earned his first NFL victory.
Did your favorite team get to play this week, or was your favorite team sidelined by COVID-19?
Week 5 features many unique matchups and games, including the “Battle for Pennsylvania.” There are some tough games this week, but after a good week 4, I’m excited for this week’s potential.
Without further ado, here are our week 5 picks!
*Just for reference, the team listed first is the home team. A negative (-) sign means that team is favored to win in the game, whereas a positive (+) sign means the team is the underdog. All betting information is taken from FanDuel prior to the Thursday Night Football game. This week, we had to pull lines from a couple different sources to get all our information. All the text that is not in bold for spreads and over/under is the starting line for our predictions. Our actual predictions are in bold next to or below the starting line.
Just a note: We left the Steelers vs. Titans game off our sheets last week since the game was postponed.
BYES: Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers
