Tennessee Titans @ Indianapolis Colts – 1PM ET

Tony Battalio

The Tennessee Titans will be looking to pick up a huge AFC South victory here on Sunday afternoon on the road against the Indianapolis Colts. Tennessee comes into this game sitting in last place of the AFC South division as every team in the division has identical records, but thanks to tiebreakers Tennessee finds themselves as the odd team out. They will be looking to break the deadlock with a huge victory in this game on Sunday afternoon and they will have to utilize Derek Henry if they want to get the job done against a very young and solid Indianapolis Colts football team. They will also have to play mistake free football throughout the game if they want to grab a victory in this game on the road on Sunday.

The Indianapolis Colts will be looking to pick up a huge divisional win here on Sunday afternoon and they should get a huge boost when they get Jonathan Taylor back in the backfield on Sunday as he is expected to play after missing the first four games of the season. Quarterback Anthony Richardson will be looking to get back into full stride after suffering a concussion a few weeks ago as he looks to pick up where he left off at the beginning of the season, and continue his rookie of the year campaign. Indianapolis has been better than most people would’ve expected them to be throughout the first four weeks of the season and I expect them to grab another victory in this game at home on Sunday as well.

New Orleans Saints @ New England Patriots – 1PM ET

The New Orleans Saints will be looking for a huge victory on the road against the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon. It has been a roller coaster of a season throughout the first four games of the year for New Orleans and they will be looking to get things headed in the right direction with a huge victory on the road against a struggling New England Patriots team. Much like several other teams in the NFL this season New Orleans comes into this game with an identical record of 2-2 through their first four games of the year, and they will be looking to pick up their third victory of the season here on Sunday afternoon in New England. 

The New England Patriots will be looking to pick up a massive victory at home as they have been struggling throughout the first four weeks of the season and there are potential rumblings of Bill Belichick being on the hot seat as well. New England comes into week five of the season, desperate for a victory after struggles continue to mount for them, as they look to keep pace in the AFC East division with the Miami Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills. New England comes into this game with only one victory in their first four games of the season and that was against a New York Jets team that didn’t have Aaron Rodgers. Unfortunately for New England, I don’t see them grabbing the victory in this game either as I look for New Orleans to take home the win.

Baltimore Ravens @ Pittsburgh Steelers – 1PM ET

Tony Battalio

The Baltimore Ravens will be looking to pick up their third AFC North division win here in their first five games of the season. They look like the best team in the AFC north at the moment, despite their loss to the Indianapolis Colts a couple weeks ago as they have proved their dominance against Cincinnati and Cleveland. Now they will hit the road to Pittsburgh to start their division schedule off with three consecutive victories, and put themselves in the driver seat of the AFC North division with another victory here on Sunday afternoon. Lamar Jackson looks like one of the best quarterbacks in the league right now and his defense is helping him out in big games as well and they will be hoping that they can keep the momentum rolling here in this one.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will be looking for a crucial victory here on Sunday afternoon at home against their AFC North division rivals, the Baltimore Ravens. Pittsburgh has already picked up one divisional victory this season after they defeated the Cleveland Browns back in week two and they will be looking to pick up their second divisional victory here on Sunday afternoon at home. Starting quarterback, Kenny Pickett is banged up after the loss of the Houston Texans last week, and that will be really hard for Pittsburgh to overcome in this game against much tougher competition. I expect that to cost them this one as I look for the Baltimore ravens to pick up the victory here on Sunday against the Steelers in Pittsburgh.

Cincinnati Bengals @ Arizona Cardinals – 4:05PM ET

Tony Battalio

The Cincinnati Bengals are still looking to recover after a rough start to the season, and they will be looking to pick up their second victory in their last three games here on Sunday afternoon against the Arizona Cardinals on the road in Arizona. You can argue that Joe Burrow’s injury might be worse than originally known and he is still recovering week by week with each game. However, if Cincinnati doesn’t find some consistency soon, then this will quickly turn into a lost season for the Bengals and they will miss out on the opportunity to return to their third consecutive AFC championship game. They will be looking to grab their second victory in their last three games with a quality performance here in this one on Sunday afternoon against Arizona.

The Arizona Cardinals will be looking for a quality victory here on Sunday afternoon against the Cincinnati Bengals at home. Arizona was unable to capitalize after they blew that Dallas Cowboys out two weeks ago as they went back into the losers column last weekend and now they will be looking to bounce back once again and grab a victory over Cincinnati here on Sunday at home. Quarterback Josh Dobbs will have to play mistake free football if Arizona wants to get a job done here on Sunday against the Bengals. That is exactly what I expect as I look for the Arizona Cardinals to upset the Cincinnati Bengals at home here on Sunday to add to the Bengals struggles this season.

New York Jets @ Denver Broncos – 4:25PM ET

Tony Battalio

The New York Jets will be looking to pick up the victory over the Denver Broncos on the road at Mile High Stadium here on Sunday afternoon. Zach Wilson played a lot better last weekend as he nearly led the New York Jets to a huge victory, and he will be looking to replicate his performance here on Sunday afternoon against Denver as they play their second consecutive AFC West team in a row. New York will be desperate for a victory as they come into this game with only one win in their first four games of the season, and they cannot afford to fall too far behind playing in a division with Buffalo and Miami this season, who look like two of the best teams in the AFC.

The Denver Broncos will be looking to pick up a massive victory against the New York Jets here on Sunday afternoon at home as they look to get their season rolling in the right direction. Russell Wilson has been much improved from his dismal performance his last season, and he will be hoping to help lead Denver to a much-needed victory in this game against New York. This is an important game for Denver to grab a victory in as they will be looking to keep pace with the red hot Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West division. That is exactly what I expect as I look for the Denver Broncos to pick up the victory over the New York Jets here on Sunday afternoon at home in week five of the season.
