NFL Week 5: Predicting the Outcomes of Every AFC Game
SportsGrid predicts every AFC game in the NFL for Week 5.
New York Jets vs. Minnesota Vikings (-2.5)
The Minnesota Vikings appear to have found the winning recipe in 2024. Their defense should continue to give a New York Jets team that's been struggling to move the football even more problems on offense.
Prediction: Minnesota 23, New York Jets 19
Baltimore Ravens (-2.5) vs. Cincinnati Bengals
An AFC North clash that could very put the Cincinnati Bengals out of the picture with a Baltimore win. The Ravens have simply been playing much better football of late, and it's hard to pick against them here.
Prediction: Baltimore 25, Cincinnati 21
Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots (-1.5)
Man has it ever been a struggle to watch the Miami Dolphins offense of late. The same can be said for the New England Patriots, who don't inspire confidence, either. We'll look for Miami to do enough to win here in a must-win game.
Prediction: Miami 18, New England 15

Buffalo Bills (-1.5) vs. Houston Texans
This is a great matchup in Week 5 between two teams that have big aspirations this season. In a contest we expect to be really tight, we'll ride with the home side to pick up the win.
Prediction: Houston 27, Buffalo 24
Indianapolis Colts vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (-2.5)
With how the Jacksonville Jaguars have played on consistent basis this year, it's pretty hard to trust them in this matchup against a well coached Indianapolis team. We'll take the points.
Prediction: Indianapolis 23, Jacksonville 20
Cleveland Browns vs. Washington Commanders (-3)
If the Cleveland Browns defense comes to play, this could be an interesting matchup to follow in Week 5. Since we have no faith in Cleveland's offense, we'll be riding with the Commanders hot start to continue.
Prediction: Washington 23, Cleveland 18

Las Vegas Raiders vs. Denver Broncos (-1.5)
The Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos have both continued to improve defensively. I like the makeup of the Raiders slightly more than I do the Broncos in Week 5.
Prediction: Las Vegas 18, Denver 15
Dallas Cowboys vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (-1.5)
The Pittsburgh Steelers should be able to run the football effectively in this matchup. With the injuries that Dallas has on defense, the Steelers pull away late and pick up another win.
Prediction: Pittsburgh 24, Dallas 18
New Orleans Saints vs. Kansas City Chiefs (-5.5)
We've still been waiting for a vintage Kansas City Chiefs performance this season, and I don't think we get it here against the New Orleans Saints. The Saints keep this is a field goal game.
Prediction: Kansas City 23, New Orleans 20
