October 8, 2020
Three LHStoday sportswriters – Andrew Hanson, Patrick Lynch and Jaxin Osinski – make their NFL picks for week 5.
Bucs vs. Bears
Andrew: Low scoring game but I think the Bucs will slightly out pace.
Patrick: Bucs; I don’t think the Bears secondary can keep up with Tom Brady.
Jaxin: Bucs are really starting to mesh together I don’t think the Bears will be able to keep up.
Jaguars vs. Texans
Andrew: Texans gotta get a win sooner or later.
Patrick: Jaguars; 2 words: Minshew Mania.
Jaxin: After firing Bill O´Brien I think a lot of stress has been relieved in Houston. I think they will rally around the new coach and get a win.
Falcons vs. Panthers
Andrew: I got the Falcons but this one should be close.
Patrick: Panthers; Falcons have been really disappointing.
Jaxin: Panthers played good football against the Cardinals I think they continue this week and win.
Cardinals vs. Jets
Andrew: Cardinals by a landslide’.
Patrick: Cardinals; Jets can’t keep pace on either side of the ball.
Jaxin: Bounce back game for Kyler Murray and the Cardinals.
Rams vs. Washington Football Team
Andrew: Rams, I don’t think the football team has enough star talent.
Patrick: Rams, Washington has injuries and no clear leaders at the moment.
Jaxin: Washington has been having QB issues and Rams have been playing good I got the Rams.
Giants vs. Cowboys
Andrew: I got the Cowboys and it’s not even close.
Patrick: Cowboys; On paper the Cowboys should win, but they always find a way to throw the game so we will see.
Jaxin: I think this is a bounce back for Dallas and it could potentially be a beat down.
Colts vs. Browns
Patrick: Browns; The Browns are a sleeper team this season.
Andrew: Colts; Colts are just a good all around team.
Jaxin: I love Cleveland they look good but I think the Colts defense overwhelms Baker.
Bills vs. Titans
Andrew: Bills defense will overwhelm Tannehill.
Patrick: Titans; the Bills don’t have an answer for Derrick Henry.
Jaxin: Josh Allen is playing like a MVP I got the Bills.
Bengals vs. Ravens
Andrew: Ravens; No Brainer.
Patrick: Ravens; Bengals are just outmatched in every way.
Jaxin: I love Joe Burrow dude’s a stud but the Ravens are going to be to much for them to handle.
Raiders vs. Chiefs
Andrew: Chiefs; Chiefs are just too dominant.
Patrick: Chiefs; On a roll right now and I don’t think they’re slowing down anytime soon.
Jaxin: Chiefs did not play the best football against New England I think they get back on track this week.
Eagles vs. Steelers
Andrew: Steelers; Most underrated team in the league.
Patrick: Eagles; I picked them last week against the Niners and I’ll put my faith in them again.
Jaxin: With Big Ben back and the defense out in Pitt I am a huge fan of the Steelers this year and I think they stay undefeated this week.
Dolphins vs. 49ers
Andrew: Dolphins as long as Jimmy G isn’t playing.
Patrick: 49ers; Dolphins offense isn’t potent enough.
Jaxin: 49ers are getting some of their weapons back I think they win this one
Broncos vs. Patriots
Andrew: Patriots; Belichick will be Belichick.
Patrick: Patriots; As long as Stidham plays they should be fine.
Jaxin: Best coach in the history is going to figure it out even without Cam.
Seahawks vs. Vikings
Andrew: Seahawks; We know Kirk doesn’t deliver in primetime.
Patrick: Seahawks; The best team in the league is gonna put on a show.
Jaxin: The defense is banged up Jamal Adams is out again but Russell Wilson is the league MVP right now and I think him and Pete Carroll find a way.
Chargers vs. Saints
Andrew: Saints; I feel like Justin Herbert will blow this.
Patrick: Saints; Chargers have too many injuries.
Jaxin: Saints have been off this year I think the rookie has another good game and gets the win against Brees this week.
