My 2023 National Football League Regular Season Week Five (5) Predictions
I reserve the right to change my predictions before game time (or shortly after game time, if I actually really did want to change my prediction before game time, but I am unable to change my prediction before game time on the Internet).
Teams on Bye Week this week: Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Chargers, Seattle Seahawks, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Thursday Night Football, October 5th, 2023
Chicago Bears (0-4, 0-2 away, now 1-4, 1-2 away, 1-0 vs. NFC East) at Washington Commanders (2-2, 1-1 home, now 2-3, 1-2 home, 0-1 vs. NFC North)
Prediction to win: Washington Commanders
Prediction to lose: Chicago Bears
Sunday games on October 8th, 2023
Sunday morning, 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time, London game, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, NFL Network
Jacksonville Jaguars (2-2, 1-0 road games) at Buffalo Bills (3-1, 2-0 home games) (Division champions from last year, huge game for potential playoff seeding)
I think the Jacksonville Jaguars might win this game.
Prediction to win: Buffalo Bills
Prediction to lose: Jacksonville Jaguars
Sunday 1 p.m. Eastern Time games
Houston Texans (2-2, 1-1 away) at Atlanta Falcons (2-2, 2-0 home, 0-1 vs. AFC South)
Prediction to win: Atlanta Falcons
Prediction to lose: Houston Texans
Carolina Panthers (0-4, 0-2 away, 0-1 vs. NFC North) at Detroit Lions (3-1, 1-1 home, 1-0 vs. NFC South)
I think the Detroit Lions might win this game.
Prediction to win: Carolina Panthers
Prediction to lose: Detroit Lions
Carolina won on this exact date 27-24 at Detroit in 2017. Today is also the fifth game ever between these two teams in Detroit in the regular season.
Tennessee Titans (2-2, 0-2 away) at Indianapolis Colts (2-2, 0-2 home, 1-1 vs. AFC South)
Prediction to win: Tennessee Titans
Prediction to lose: Indianapolis Colts
New York Giants (1-3, 1-1 away) at Miami Dolphins (3-1, 1-0 home)
Prediction to win: New York Giants
Prediction to lose: Miami Dolphins
Change in prediction: Prediction to win: Miami Dolphins, Prediction to lose: New York Giants
New York can stay on seven wins all-time against Miami in the regular season with a loss today on the seven date numerology.
New Orleans Saints (2-2, 1-1) away at New England Patriots (1-3, 0-2 home)
Prediction to win: New Orleans Saints
Prediction to lose: New England Patriots
Baltimore Ravens (3-1, 2-0 away, 2-0 vs. AFC North) at Pittsburgh Steelers (2-2, 1-1 home, 1-0 vs. AFC North)
Prediction to win: Baltimore Ravens
Prediction to lose: Pittsburgh Steelers
Sunday, 4:05 p.m. Eastern Time games
Philadelphia Eagles (4-0, 2-0 away) at Los Angeles Rams (2-2, 0-1 home)
The Philadelphia Eagles can pick up their 23rd win all-time in the regular season or the postseason against the Los Angeles Rams.
I think the Los Angeles Rams might win this game.
Prediction to win: Philadelphia Eagles
Prediction to lose: Los Angeles Rams
Cincinnati Bengals (1-3, 0-2 away, 1-0 vs. NFC West) at Arizona Cardinals (1-3, 1-1 home)
I think the Arizona Cardinals might actually win this game. I might actually change my prediction before game time.
Prediction to win: Cincinnati Bengals
Prediction to lose: Arizona Cardinals
Change in predictions: Prediction to win: Arizona Cardinals, Prediction to lose: Cincinnati Bengals
Arizona can pick up their fifth win all-time against the Cincinnati Bengals at home and this is ONLY the fifth game all-time at the Cardinals in the regular season. If Arizona wins, it will also be their fourth win in the state of Arizona against Cincinnati. Arizona can also win their seventh regular season game ever on the seven date numerology against the Bengals. The Cardinals have also never played a game against the Bengals at home in the month of October before.
Sunday, 4:25 p.m. Eastern Time games
New York Jets (1-3, 0-1 away, 0-1 AFC West) at Denver Broncos (1-3, 0-2 home)
The Denver Broncos can pick up their 23rd win all-time in the regular or postseason against the New York Jets
Prediction to win: Denver Broncos
Prediction to lose: New York Jets
Change in predictions: Prediction to win: New York Jets, Prediction to lose: Denver Broncos
This is the third time ever in the regular season or the postseason three straight games have been played in Denver. Denver has won two out of three of those three games the previous two times. Denver also hasn't lost two straight regular season or postseason games at home against the Jets since the 1966 and 1967 seasons. I like the Broncos chances to end their 15-game losing streak at the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday Night Football later this week. I also like the Broncos chances to beat the New England Patriots when they wear their Color Rush snowcapped helmets and white jerseys again at home on December 24th, later this year! On December 24th, it will be the third home game they will be wearing white jerseys this year (and the second time they will be wearing their Color Rush snowcapped helmets and white jerseys). Denver has worn their white jerseys at home once previously this season to honor the Super Bowl 33 (and I guess the Super Bowl 50) champions. So today's game will be the second time Denver has worn white jerseys at home this regular season and this is probably the first time ever they are wearing their Color Rush snowcapped helmets and white jerseys at home (and probably ever)!
Kansas City Chiefs (3-1, 2-0 away, 1-1 vs. NFC North) at Minnesota Vikings (1-3, 0-2 home, 0-1 vs. AFC West)
Prediction to win: Kansas City Chiefs
Prediction to lose: Minnesota Vikings
Sunday Night Football, 8:20 p.m. Eastern Time
Dallas Cowboys (3-1, 1-1 away, 0-1 NFC West) at San Francisco 49ers (4-0, 2-0 home, 1-0 vs. NFC East)
Prediction to win: San Francisco 49ers
Prediction to lose: Dallas Cowboys
Monday Night Football, 8:15 p.m. Eastern Time
Green Bay Packers (2-2, 1-1 away) at Las Vegas Raiders (1-3, 0-1 home)
Prediction to win: Las Vegas Raiders
Prediction to lose: Green Bay Packers
I feel like the Carolina Panthers at Detroit Lions and the New York Giants at the Miami Dolphins might be really stupid predictions at the moment. I have the Carolina Panthers winning and the New York Giants also winning.
I think my predictions have resulted in 9 wins and 7 losses every single Week of the NFL regular season except for last week in Week 4 in which I went 8-8.
