NFL 2020 Week 5 Predictions

 2020 NFL Week 5 Predictions

 

Bucs -3.5 over Bears, 31-10

-Bears just don’t look right and the Bucs are rounding into form. They look super impressive considering they can’t even get through one game with one WR healthy.

 

Falcons -2.5 over Panthers, 24-18

-*shrug*

 

Bengals +13 over Ravens, 23-31

-Ravens are going to dominate the Bengals. However, Burrow doesn’t seem the type to throw back-breaking pick-sixes to inflate the score and cover spreads.

 

Jags +6.5 over Texans, 27-28

-Too many points versus an 0-4 team. In Gardner, we trust!

 

Raiders +12.5 over Chiefs, 24-33

-Look everyone, calm down. The Chiefs are winning this game. I just don’t want to hang 13 for a divisional game that the Chiefs are playing on a short week, when they then have to play on Thursday again.

 

Cards -7 over Jets, 31-13

-Word on the street is Joe Flacco is playing QB for the Jets. Enough said.

 

Steelers -7 over Eagles, 25-16

-The battle of Pennsylvania leans heavily towards the team that just had a week off and is not terribly injured.

 

Titans pk over Bills, 27-24

-I have no idea what this line will be or if this game will happen, but I’m still not convinced the Bills are for real and this will actually be more of a shootout than it looks like on paper. Also, AJ Brown…. you better be healthy because I need a WR2 in fantasy.

 

Rams -7 over WFT, 30-13

-Why oh why did I use the Rams last week in the eliminator pool??

 

49ers -9 over Fins, 24-12

-Do we see Tua? Can we see Tua? I want to see Tua!

 

Pats pk over Broncos, 27-6

-No matter what the QB situation is, the Pats are a much better team than the Broncos.

 

Browns +2 over Colts, 26-23

-The loss of Chubb is significant, but they’ve really shown an overall toughness in developing offensive prowess.

 

Cowboys -10 over Giants, 34-13

-Dallas is my eliminator pick this week. You know why? Because they can beat anyone on any given week, but I don’t trust them to. The Giants are so abhorrent that this is the week I am going to feel the best about it.

 

Seahawks -7 over Vikings, 31-22

-Vikings have come around a little bit, but the Seahawks have too much firepower. Also, #cotinuetoletRusscook.

 

Saints -7.5 over Chargers, 31-20

-Saints rounding into form as one of the better teams in the NFL. Unfortunately for my Saints SB pick, it appears the Saints best is a notch below the elite teams.
