2024 NFL Week 5 Preview and Predictions: Part 1

Teams on Their Bye Week:

Detroit Lions (3-1)

Los Angeles Chargers (2-2)

Philadelphia Eagles (2-2)

Tennessee Titans (1-3)

 


(3-1) Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Atlanta Falcons (2-2)

This week’s Thursday Night Football sees The Falcons host The Bucs in Atlanta! The Atlanta Falcons edged past the New Orleans Saints last weekend and they currently sit second in the NFC South! As for Tampa Bay, they thrashed the Philadelphia Eagles last time out and they currently lead the NFC South as the only team with a positive record! In the end, I think Atlanta will win this game! The Buccaneers will be the favourites here, but I think The Falcons have enough to edge it!

 


(2-2) New York Jets @ Minnesota Vikings (4-0)

The first London game of the year sees the Minnesota Vikings take on the New York Jets! The Minnesota Vikings went 4-0 last week with a win in Green Bay and they currently lead the NFC North as the only unbeaten team left in the entire NFC! As for New York, they suffered a terrible loss at home to The Broncos last time out and they currently sit second in the AFC East! In the end, I think Minnesota will go 5-0! The Vikings are playing really well right now, and there’s no reason to vote against them!

 


(1-3) Carolina Panthers @ Chicago Bears (2-2)

The Chicago Bears managed to beat the LA Rams last time out, but they are still currently bottom of the NFC North. As for Carolina, they lost at home to The Bengals last weekend and they currently find themselves bottom of the NFC South as the only team with a negative record! In the end, I expect Chicago to win this game. Neither team is that great, but The Bears are definetly better!

 


(2-2) Baltimore Ravens @ Cincinnati Bengals (1-3)

The Cincinnati Bengals host the Baltimore Ravens in what is a pretty huge game for both sides! The Cincinnati Bengals finally got a win on the board last weekend in Carolina, but they are still currently bottom of the AFC North. As for Baltimore, they smashed the Buffalo Bills last time out and they currently sit second in the AFC North. In the end, I believe The Ravens will win this game. Baltimore are starting to find some form whilst there are still quite a few questions surrounding The Bengals.

 


(1-3) Miami Dolphins @ New England Patriots (1-3)

The New England Patriots lost comfortably in San Francisco last weekend and they currently sit third in the AFC East. As for Miami, they suffered a poor loss at home against the Tennessee Titans last time out and they are currently bottom of the AFC East! In the end, I think The Patriots will win this one! Both of these teams are not very good, but The Dolphins look like an absolute mess!

 


(1-3) Cleveland Browns @ Washington Commanders (3-1)

The Washington Commanders thrashed the Arizona Cardinals last time out and they currently lead the NFC East as the only team with a positive record! As for Cleveland, they lost in Las Vegas last weekend and they currently sit third in the AFC North. In the end, I expect Washington to move to 4-1! The Commanders are playing really good Football right now, and I’m not convinced by The Browns at all!

 


(2-2) Indianapolis Colts @ Jacksonville Jaguars (0-4)

The Jacksonville Jaguars lost in a tight game in Houston last weekend and they are currently bottom of the AFC South as the only team without a win in the entire league! As for Indianapolis, they picked up a positive win over the Pittsburgh Steelers last time out and they currently sit second in the AFC South! In the end, I expect The Colts to win here! Indy are playing some decent stuff right now whilst The Jags look pretty hopeless!
