Week 5 Predictions
Raiders at Chiefs -
Kansas City ran away with their win vs the Pats this past Monday, but Patrick Mahomes might had one of his worst games as a pro. He wasn't great in the first half, before he started to get things going later in the game. He didn't the ball over, but it is wild to see him miss guys wide open down the field. In general, I don't believe Kansas City has played as well as they did the past few years. I really don't get that dominant feeling from them. They are still stupid good, but I feel like the best two teams in this league after four weeks are over in the NFC.
Chiefs can still pile up the points in a hurry, so don't get it twisted. If they drop 30 points on you, it shouldn't shock you. Then there's the Raiders. I like them a lot better than I did last season, but I don't think they are in the same zip code as Kansas City. I feel like the Raiders has improved their team, but still not enough for them to go head to head with Mahomes. For me, Kansas City's offense is still too much for the Raiders to stop.
Prediction - Raiders typically don't play well at Arrowhead vs Mahomes and I expect that to be the case once again. It might be close at first, but you can bank that this is another win for Kansas City. They will win by 10 points
Cardinals at Jets
I would be more excited about this game, but both these teams been bad this season. I had very high hopes for the Cardinals but they really haven't lived up to the bill. They upset the 49ers in week 1, but lost games to the Lions and Panthers over the past two weeks. Are the 49ers really not that good or were the Cardinals just lucky? Or maybe the Cardinals just haven't played down to their competition. They have enough talent to win both of those games easily. Either way, they didn't and should win in week 5 vs a bad New York Jets team.
The Jets aren't very good and will be without Sam Darnold in week 5 vs the Cardinals. They will get LeVeon Bell back, but he really haven't amounted to much in New York. He was one of their big signings a few seasons ago, but he has been horrible with them. But to be fair, the Jets haven't gone anything to put together a good team. Hard to have success when opposing teams know how to beat you and offensively the Jets are seriously lacking skill players across the board!
Prediction - It won't be pretty, but Cardinals finally win a game that they SHOULD win! The Jets will have to wait another week to win their game of the season.
Eagles at Steelers
I didn't think the Eagles could pull it off vs the 49ers, but they did it. I guess it not too crazy, since the 49ers had so many backups in the game with all of their injuries. Now Eagles will look to score another upset in week 5 vs the Steelers. Pittsbugh is all rested up and really to roll vs the Eagles. I think the Steelers have one of the best defenses in the league, but their offense has been a little overrated to start the season. It hasn't impressed me as much as other people (i guess), but I also probably had higher standards for their offense, too.
The Eagles will get healthier as the season goes on, so it is only matter of time before the wins start coming. But this is a game that they probably shouldn't win. At this point, I say winning this game is a bonus. I by no means think they have any business beating a well-rested Pittsbugh Steelers team. With that said, it is 2020 so anything and everything can happen!
Prediction - Steelers win this game and the stupid NFC East become even more stupid through week 5 of the NFL!
Rams at Washington Football Team
Washington Football team finally making a change at Quarterback with Hawkins going to the bench. I won't lie, I didn't really see the hype in him coming out of college. Excellent college player, but his skillset wasn't gonna smoothly translate. So now, it is Josh Allen turn to see what he can do. I don't hate this move, even though I didn't think Hawkins was doing a terrible job. He wasn't doing a good job, either. He could only work with what they gave him, though.
The Rams enter this game as the heavy favorites and should be viewed as such. I think the Rams are a lot more like that team they had a few years ago from the superbowl. I don't think they are offensively as explosive, though. McVay is one of the best young playcallers in the league and keep finding ways to get his playmakers involved. That will be the case once again in week 5 as the Rams roll to another win!
Prediciton - Rams win big as the Washington Football Team lose another game in the 2020 season!
