Finally, Walder and Moody give us final score picks for every game. Everything you want to know is here in one spot to help you get ready for a loaded weekend of NFL football. Let's get into the full Week 5 slate, including Josh Allen vs. Game times are Sunday unless otherwise noted.
Storyline to watch: While it's a Bills "home" game, the Jaguars are on the second of back-to-back weeks in London, which means Jacksonville has the time zone experience advantage. But the Jaguars will be challenged to slow down a Bills offense that's averaging 5. Bold prediction: QB Josh Allen will score a touchdown, and so will LB Josh Allen.
Not a big deal if Buffalo's Allen runs for a TD -- he has 40 over his career, including two this year -- but Jacksonville's Allen has just one TD in his five-year career: a yard fumble return that gave the Jaguars a victory over Tennessee in Week 18 last season.
Stat to know: QB Allen had four touchdown passes last week, the 10th such game in his career. He is tied with Jim Kelly for the most in Bills franchise history. The last quarterback to throw four TD passes in consecutive games was Joe Burrow in Weeks in Jacksonville has a strong run defense, and if these two corners -- who both have allowed lower than average yards per coverage snap this season, according to NFL Next Gen Stats -- can slow down the Bills' passing attack, the Jaguars have a chance.
Injuries: Jaguars Bills. What to know for fantasy: The Jaguars' defense allows the second-most fantasy points to tight ends. Rookie TE Dalton Kincaid didn't have a great game against the Dolphins, but he did catch four of five targets for 27 yards. He ran more routes and was more involved in the passing game than Dawson Knox. The stage is set for Kincaid to have a breakout performance.
See Week 5 rankings. Betting nugget: Doug Pederson is against the spread ATS in his career as an underdog, including playoffs. He is ATS as an underdog to the Bills. Read more. Football odds week 5 Matchup must-reads: Jaguars' offense takes baby steps in London Bills' offense chasing history behind Allen, Diggs Who has to step up for Bills after White's Achilles tear?
That'll be an interesting thing to watch since the Texans have allowed quarterbacks to complete passes at a high clip Bold prediction: The Falcons' passing attack will be held to under yards and will turn the ball over multiple times. Ridder has been sacked 16 times, fourth most in the NFL, and the Falcons average the fewest passing yards per game Stat to know: Houston quarterback C.
Stroud has thrown zero interceptions in his first passing attempts, the third-most passing attempts without an interception to begin a career in NFL history Dak Prescott , , and Tua Tagovailoa , Matchup X factor: Ridder. He has just a 29 QBR this season, and that's nowhere near good enough to get the Atlanta offense going.
The Falcons need more from him if they are going to beat a frisky Texans squad. Injuries: Texans Falcons. What to know for fantasy: The Texans' defense has done an excellent job containing wide receivers -- allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position.
They do, however, give up the seventh-most fantasy points per game to running backs, so expect the Falcons to double down on the running game. Matchup must-reads: Stroud continues to rewrite history in win over Steelers Smith sticking with Ridder as QB Green knee out indefinitely Ridder tosses 2 INTs, says he did 'terrible job'.
Storyline to watch: The Panthers are still looking for their first win of the season but will have to slow down a potent Lions offense to get it. Detroit's offense has scored at least 20 points in 13 straight games -- which is tied for the longest streak in franchise history -- and could get another boost with the return of wide receiver Jameson Williams , whose suspension for violating the NFL's gambling policy was reduced last week.
Carolina's defense has allowed at least 20 points in every game this season. The Panthers will tighten up their porous run defense. Stat to know: Lions tight end Sam LaPorta has 22 receptions this season, third among rookies and third among tight ends. With three receptions on Sunday, he will be the third tight end with 25 receptions in the first five games of his career since , joining Keith Jackson 29 in and Jordan Reed 26 in Mingo and Marshall are in the bottom five in the Receiver Tracking Metrics ' overall score among wide receivers Chark hasn't played enough to qualify.
Injuries: Panthers Lions. 
What to know for fantasy: No team this season has eclipsed 90 yards rushing against Detroit, which has held opponents to total rushing yards. Against tight ends, the Lions' defense gives up the fourth-most fantasy points. Matchup must-reads: Why Panthers aren't panicking about Young, offense Reinstated from gambling suspension, is Williams finally ready to launch?
At , Panthers' offense, Young are failing each other Campbell sets realistic expectations for Williams. Storyline to watch: The Titans have won five straight meetings with the Colts and six of the past seven between the clubs. The Colts' last win in the series came on Nov. Additionally, the Colts have now lost seven consecutive games at home, their last win at Lucas Oil Stadium coming on Oct.
Hopkins' 65 yards against the Saints in Week 1 has been his best outing, but the Colts' pass defense has allowed Indianapolis will be without starting CB Dallis Flowers , so Hopkins will have a prime opportunity to take advantage of the matchup against a reserve corner on one side and rookie JuJu Brents on the other.
But he'll face a bigger challenge in the slot against Kenny Moore II. Stat to know: The Titans have scored fewer than 30 points in 22 straight games, the longest active streak in NFL and tied for longest streak in franchise history 22 straight in Matchup X factor: Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. He's a true X factor in the sense that we don't know what his role will be Sunday, but he can charge up the Colts' ground game if he plays a significant amount and is the version of himself.
Injuries: Titans Colts. What to know for fantasy: The Titans' defense has allowed wide receivers the ninth-most fantasy points per game this season. Michael Pittman Jr. Betting nugget: The Titans have covered five straight meetings. Matchup must-reads: Henry throws 4th career touchdown pass in Titans' win Richardson's poise is keeping Colts in games.
Storyline to watch: The Giants rank dead last in rate of pass attempts with a sack allowed at Meanwhile, the Dolphins have generated sacks on just 6. Dolphins players and coaches have publicly stated that Sunday is not a "get right" game, but Miami's defense has an opportunity to right the ship against a reeling Giants offensive line.
Bold prediction: The Dolphins' high-flying offense will never take off against the Giants and will be held to under 24 points. It will have some success creating havoc against a Miami offensive line that will be missing left tackle Terron Armstead. Stat to know: Miami QB Tua Tagovailoa ranks first in yards per attempt on throws with motion, on quick throws under 2.
The Giants' defense ranks 24th or worse in all of those areas this season. Matchup X factor: Dolphins tackle Kendall Lamm. Miami needs him to keep it up to keep Tagovailoa upright. Injuries: Giants Dolphins. What to know for fantasy: The Giants' opponents have rushed for the eighth-most yards per game. The Dolphins lead the league with It's again a good week to start a Miami running back.
Matchup must-reads: Giants need to do 'better job' of getting Waller involved Hill in the chase for Calvin Johnson's receiving record Neal apologizes for lashing out at booing fans. Storyline to watch: The Patriots rank 30th in scoring average One major issue for the Patriots has been their turnover differential minus-5 , which ranks 27th in the NFL.
One major issue for the Saints has been their red zone offense, which ranks last in the NFL with just four TDs in 12 trips. Bold prediction: The Saints will force two turnovers against the Patriots. Bold prediction: The Cardinals will rush for yards. Cincinnati is 31st in rush defense giving up an average of Combine those factors, and this could be a day for Arizona to make its presence felt on the ground.
Stat to know: Arizona QB Joshua Dobbs has thrown four touchdown passes and no interceptions this season. No Cardinals player has ever had five passing touchdowns and zero interceptions in his first five starts with the team since starters were first tracked in They rank 65th and 67th out of 67 qualifying guards in pass block win rate.
Injuries: Bengals Cardinals. What to know for fantasy: The Bengals' defense has allowed the sixth-most rushing yards to running backs. Derrick Henry scored The Bengals will now face James Conner. Efl trophy games He has failed to cover five straight regular-season games. Prior to this current streak, he had never gone longer than two straight games without a cover. Matchup must-reads: Higgins may try to play with broken ribs Dobbs' legs give Cardinals' offense a different dynamic Bengals need win vs.
Cardinals for morale Should, could and would the Cardinals move on from Murray. The Broncos are last, or near last, in every major statistical category on defense. Their run defense is allowing yards rushing per game, while the Jets have averaged Bold prediction: Hall will score two touchdowns for his first trips to the end zone since Oct.
That day, he scored on a yard run but was done for the season a short time after when he tore an ACL. Hall, who no longer has playing-time limitations, should have plenty of opportunities against Denver's inviting run defense. Matchup X factor: Jets quarterback Zach Wilson. The player we saw in the second half against the Chiefs looked entirely different from, frankly, the rest of Wilson's career.
Will he keep it up. I'm skeptical because the sample of him playing poorly is so much larger. But we'll see. Fortunately for Wilson, the Broncos' defense is a mess. Injuries: Jets Broncos. What to know for fantasy: Even though the Jets' secondary is formidable, the Broncos have the best chance of attacking the defense with their running backs.
The New York defense has allowed opponents to rush for the fifth-most yards per game. Betting nugget: Broncos games have gone over the total in three straight and eight of the past nine games dating back to last season. Prior to that stretch, 11 of the Broncos' first 12 games last season went under. Matchup must-reads: Hall heading to Denver without 'pitch count' Gregory's release speaks to larger problems on defense Hackett returns to Denver with something to prove Broncos have firepower with rookies Mims, McLaughlin.
Bold prediction: Mahomes will throw for yards and won't have an interception. This type of game used to be a staple for him, but not this year. He has had only one yard game and one without throwing a pick. But the Vikings are 21st in opponent QBR and yards allowed and have just one interception.
He has thrown multiple touchdown passes in every game this season, the second-longest streak by a Vikings player to start the season since the merger Tommy Kramer, six straight in Matchup X factor: Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison. Shut out on just a single target in last week's game, Addison needs to be a capable threat if the Vikings are going to keep up with the Chiefs' offense.
Injuries: Chiefs Vikings. Football odds week 5 His ability to create yards after contact and force missed tackles is also impressive. Matchup must-reads: Mahomes takes blame for Chiefs' passing-game problems Can Jefferson catch Calvin Johnson. Storyline to watch: It's hard to find a Week 5 game more enticing than this, as these two historically successful franchises renew their longstanding rivalry.
In a game where turnovers always matter, they take on greater importance when two talented heavyweights clash. Dallas leads the league with 10 takeaways, while the Niners have just one giveaway on the season, tied with Dallas and Seattle for the fewest in the NFL. San Francisco beat Dallas in the divisional round last season in part because it was plus-1 in turnover margin.
It stands to reason the outcome in this one will ride heavily again on which side takes better care of the ball. He has not had a pass picked off in his past five regular-season appearances. He was not intercepted in the win against Dallas in the divisional round, either.
And he is coming off a game in which he had just one incompletion. So why will the Cowboys have a pick. That's what they do. CB DaRon Bland is coming off a game with two interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown. The Cowboys have seven interceptions on the season -- only Buffalo has more eight.
At some point, Purdy has to throw one to the other team. Stat to know: Purdy has torched man coverage, ranking in the top three in QBR, yards per attempt and touchdown-to-interception ratio since entering the NFL last season. He'll face a Cowboys defense that has played man coverage at the highest rate in the NFL since the start of last season.
Niners coach Kyle Shanahan is notorious for targeting opposing linebackers with his offense. Dallas will need Vander Esch to be on his game. Good news for the Cowboys: He has allowed just 0. Injuries: Cowboys 49ers. What to know for fantasy: This season, the 49ers are allowing only 3. This might not be RB Tony Pollard 's breakout game.
Betting nugget: The Cowboys are ATS in the past three seasons, tied with the Lions for the best record in that span. Playoff losses to 49ers have Cowboys motivated ahead of Week 5 tilt Forget regression, it seems like Purdy is actually getting better. Monday, p. Storyline to watch: We have a getting-more-frustrated-by-the-loss Davante Adams vs.
The Raiders All-Pro receiver said it would be "weird" to look across the field during warmups and see those familiar gold and green helmets with the oversized "G" on them after spending his first eight seasons with the Packers. Doubs has been compared to him by some in the Packers organization, and here's his chance to show it's a worthy comparison.
Doubs' three touchdown catches are the most by a Packers receiver in the team's first four games of a season since Adams in Doubs will add to that. Stat to know: Packers QB Jordan Love has thrown at least one passing touchdown in all five of his career starts.
He is the only Packer to throw a touchdown in each of his first five starts since Matchup X factor: Raiders pass-rushers outside of Maxx Crosby. Las Vegas is getting nothing from that group.
