NFL Week 5 ‘Thursday Night Football’ game picks and predictions

After a wild Week 3, Week 4 was more “down-to-earth” and helped solidify our early understanding of the 32 NFL teams. There have been some pleasant surprises, like the Los Angeles Rams (+4)

, Houston Texans (+1.5), and...Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+3)? On the other side of the coin, we’ve had our fair share of disappointments—the Bengals, Giants, and Vikings are all 1-3 after playoff appearances in 2022.

Week 5 is when teams start to separate themselves. It’s a crossroads for many, including our Atlanta Falcons (-1.5)

—will the offense bounce back after a two-game skid, or will the team continue sliding out of the NFC playoff picture?
