NFL Week 5 Predictions: Our Picks Against the Spread – The New York Times

Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans, 1 p.m., CBS
Line: Texans -6|Total: 54.5
It appears as if the group finally noticed that quarterback Deshaun Watsons prime years were being completely wasted, though that realization happened after OBrien, in his G.M. role, had mainly gutted the group. The good news for Romeo Crennel, who will take over the group on an interim basis, is that his team has an outstanding opportunity to begin off a new period with a win thanks to the visiting Jaguars (1-3) being the type of group that Watson ought to definitely shred.
Denver Broncos at New England Patriots, 4:25 p.m., CBS
Line: Off|Total: Off
When the schedule was made, one may have envisioned this as a game to see. Drew Lock, an adventurous sophomore quarterback for the Broncos (1-3), going into Foxborough, Mass., for the very first time to deal with the hard-charging Patriots (1-3), who had actually been remade by Cam Newton.
Rather, Lock is working his method back from a shoulder injury and may not play today. He was at first changed by Jeff Driskel, who was replaced by Brett Rypien– who honestly was extremely enjoyable to enjoy in a bad video game recently! Whether it is Lock or Rypien on Sunday will be figured out based upon how Lock progresses today.
The Patriots (2-2), on the other hand, are still awaiting Newton to come back from the Covid-19 list, and recently they began Brian Hoyer (who was awful) before turning to Jarrett Stidham (also horrible). Contributing to the mess is New Englands best protective gamer, Stephon Gilmore, reportedly signing up with Newton on the Covid-19 list.
More favorable tests might theoretically postpone this video game, but if they have the ability to play its a tossup, with the benefit going to the home group with the much better coach. Select: Patriots
Arizona Cardinals at Jets, 1 p.m., Fox
Line: Cardinals -7|Total: 47
The Cardinals (2-2) are suddenly reeling, having followed up a 2-0 start with successive losses, the second of which involved quarterback Kyler Murray balancing a weak 4.3 yards per passing effort– a fact that was quite likely greatly affected by an ankle injury to large receiver DeAndre Hopkins. It certainly isnt where Coach Kliff Kingsbury desires the Cardinals to be, but the Jets (0-4) have actually done an excellent task making other teams feel good about themselves this season, and even as a complete touchdown underdog at home, its hard to think theyll be competitive.
Mondays Matchup

On Oct. 4, it was reported that Bill OBrien, the coach and general supervisor of the Texans (0-4) would add play-calling to his responsibilities. It seems as if the team finally noticed that quarterback Deshaun Watsons prime years were being entirely wasted, though that realization took place after OBrien, in his G.M. role, had actually mainly gutted the team. The good news for Romeo Crennel, who will take over the group on an interim basis, is that his team has an outstanding chance to begin off a new age with a win thanks to the checking out Jaguars (1-3) being the type of group that Watson must absolutely shred. He was initially changed by Jeff Driskel, who was replaced by Brett Rypien– who truthfully was exceptionally enjoyable to view in a bad video game last week! It certainly isnt where Coach Kliff Kingsbury wants the Cardinals to be, but the Jets (0-4) have done an exceptional job making other groups feel excellent about themselves this season, and even as a complete touchdown underdog at home, its tough to believe theyll be competitive.
