Mile High Report
The sixth week of the NFL regular season has arrived. My Week 5 picks were probably one of the worst performances I’ve had since doing this series for a few years now. I went 7-7 last week as quite a few upsets happened across the league. Through five weeks I’m sitting at 52-26 with predictions. This week, there will be fifteen games with the Houston Texans and Minnesota Vikings have their bye weeks.
Thursday Night Football — Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants
Winner: Eagles
Both of these NFC East rivals lost last week and are hoping to get back into the win column. For as stagnant as the Eagles have look on offense to date, I feel confident they can head on the road and defeat Jaxson Dart and the Giants. I’m taking the Eagles in this Thursday Night Football matchup.
Sunday Football (Early Game) — Denver Broncos and New York Jets (London)
Winner: Broncos
The Broncos got their signature win of the 2025 season by toppling the Eagles last Sunday. The Jets continue to struggle and are 0-5 on the year and have a penchant for turning the ball over. I think Denver’s aggressive defense will notch a few turnovers and capitalize them on their way to getting their fourth victory of the season.
Sunday Football (Early Game) — Los Angeles Rams at Baltimore Ravens
Winner: Rams
Both these teams came out on the wrong side of their Week 5 matchups. It’s still a surprise to me that the Ravens have only won a single game this year, but they have been hampered by injuries. I’m not sure of Lamar Jackson’s availability for the game but will be taking the Rams regardless.
Sunday Football (Early Game) — Dallas Cowboys at Carolina Panthers
Winner: Cowboys
It’s a battle of two-win teams that each won last weekend. The Cowboys put a lot of points on the board but also give up a lot. Meanwhile, the Panthers offense is in the bottom half of the league. I guess this will be another matchup where I pick the road team to secure a win. I’m going with Dallas.
Sunday Football (Early Game) — Arizona Cardinals at Indianapolis Colts
Winner: Colts
Talent-wise, I feel that both of these teams are fairly evenly matched. However, the Colts have been pretty good to start the season and have a Top 5 scoring offense and defense. I think they will be able to take care of business at home and defeat the Cardinals to notch their fifth win of the season.
Sunday Football (Early Game) — Seattle Seahawks at Jacksonville Jaguars
Winner: Jaguars
The Seahawks lost to the Buccaneers last weekend in a thriller whilst the Jaguars were able to take down the Chiefs on Monday Night Football. Jacksonville has become a much better team compared to last year and are now Top 10 in points scored and allowed. The Seahawks offense has done a good job scoring points, but I think Jaguars will stand strong...
