2025 NFL Week 5 Preview and Predictions: Part 1

Teams on Their Bye Week:

Pittsburgh Steelers (3-1)

Green Bay Packers (2-1-1)

Atlanta Falcons (2-2)

Chicago Bears (2-2)

(3-1) San Francisco 49ers @ Los Angeles Rams (3-1)

A massive all-NFC West Thursday Night Football takes place at SoFi Stadium as the Los Angeles Rams play host to the San Francisco 49ers! The LA Rams picked up a strong win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 4, and they currently sit third in the NFC West! As for San Francisco, they suffered a disappointing defeat at home to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but they do still currently lead the NFC West! In the end, I think The Rams will win this game! San Francisco were really disappointing last week, whilst I rate LA highly, so this is an easy pick for me!

(2-2) Minnesota Vikings @ Cleveland Browns (1-3)

The first UK game of the year sees the Cleveland Browns take on the Minnesota Vikings at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium! The Cleveland Browns got thrashed by the Detroit Lions last weekend, and they currently find themselves bottom of the AFC North! As for Minnesota, they lost to Pittsburgh in Dublin last time out, and they currently sit third in the NFC North! In the end, I fully expect Minnesota to win this game! Cleveland suck, The Vikings less so!                     

(1-3) Las Vegas Raiders @ Indianapolis Colts (3-1)

The Indianapolis Colts lost to the LA Rams last weekend, but they do still currently lead the AFC South! As for Las Vegas, they suffered a 1-point loss in Chicago last time out, and they currently sit bottom of the AFC West! In the end, I think Indy will get back to winning ways in this one! The Colts have started the season well, whilst The Raiders look weak!

(1-3) New York Giants @ New Orleans Saints (0-4)

The New Orleans Saints lost easily in Buffalo last time out, and they currently sit bottom of the NFC South! As for New York, they somehow managed to beat the LA Chargers to win their first game of the season in Week 4, but they do still currently find themselves bottom of the NFC North! In the end, I will say that New York will win again here! Firstly, The Giants did really well last week, and secondly, The Saints are absolutely hopeless!

(1-2-1) Dallas Cowboys @ New York Jets (0-4)

The New York Jets lost again Monday Night in Miami, and they currently find themselves bottom of the AFC East! As for Dallas, they managed to tie 40-40 with the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football, and they currently sit third in the NFC East! In the end, I expect Dallas to finally get back to winning ways here! Realistically, this is a game The Cowboys should and also need to be winning, if not, they’re in serious trouble (look how it went against The Giants, though)!

(2-2) Denver Broncos @ Philadelphia Eagles (4-0)

Week 5 plays host to what some people picked as their Super Bowl 60 lineup as the Philadelphia Eagles welcome the Denver Broncos to Lincoln Financial Field! The Philadelphia Eagles picked up a great win in Tampa Bay last time out, and they currently lead the NFC East! As for Denver, they thumped the Cincinnati Bengals Monday Night, and they currently sit third in the AFC West! In the end, I fully expect Philly to make it 5 wins from 5! The Eagles are the real deal, and until someone beats them, I won’t vote against them!

(1-3) Miami Dolphins @ Carolina Panthers (1-3)

The Carolina Panthers got stuffed 13-42 by the New England Patriots last time out, and they currently sit third in the NFC South! As for Miami, they picked up their first win of the season over the New York Jets Monday Night, and they currently find themselves third in the AFC East! In the end, I think Miami will make it back-to-back wins! You never know what you’re going to get from The Dolphins, but they should win here!
