NFL Week 5 Overreactions: Ravens are back, Bills playoff hopes are dwindling
Sports Seriously’s Mackenzie Salmon ‘overreacts’ to the biggest storylines from Week 5— including the Vikings’ 5-0 start and the Cowboys’ thriller victory on SNF.
Sports Seriously
Last weekend was of the utmost importance for every 2-2 team. The difference between 2-3 and 3-2 might only be a game but each record feels massively different. Now, in Week 6, it’s up to those teams that lost to find their footing as we approach midseason.
Week 6 kicks off with a Thursday night showdown between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks. The 49ers are coming off a disheartening defeat to the Arizona Cardinals. Two of the 49ers three losses have come after obtaining big leads. We know Kyle Shanahan has a knack for blowing leads like that, but the 49ers are still Super Bowl hopefuls and need to figure out their issues if they want to compete in the NFC West.
On Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars return to London to take on the Chicago Bears. Sunday night will feature Cincinnati Bengals taking on the New York Giants, fresh off a stunning victory over the Seahawks. Then, Monday Night Football will finish the week off with an AFC East showdown between the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills.
Take a look at all the odds and our expert predictions for this week’s matchups.
