Sunday morning London game prediction, Oct. 6

New York Jets vs Minnesota Vikings, 6:30 a.m., NFL Network (stream with free trial from FUBO)

You never know what will happen in an NFL London game, but we like Sam Darnold and the Vikings to move to an impressive 5-0.

Prediction: Vikings 27, Jets 17

NFL Week 5 schedule:Television channels, how to watch, stream games

Sunday early NFL football game predictions, Oct. 6

Carolina Panthers at Chicago Bears, 10 a.m., FOX (stream with free trial from FUBO)

Andy Dalton has given the Panthers new life. The savvy veteran will lead Carolina to an upset on the road.

Prediction: Panthers 20, Bears 17

Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals, 10 a.m., CBS (stream with free trial from FUBO)

The Bengals are at home, but the Ravens are rolling with Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson.

Prediction: Ravens 30, Bengals 20

Buffalo Bills at Houston Texans, 10 a.m., CBS (stream with free trial from FUBO)

We did not see the Bills losing that badly to the Ravens. We also don't see them losing to the Texans.

Prediction: Bills 27, Texans 24

Indianapolis Colts at Jacksonville Jaguars, 10 a.m., CBS (stream with free trial from FUBO)

The Jaguars are favored at home in this game. We think they'll win a game at some point, it might as well come in Week 5.

Prediction: Jaguars 21, Colts 20

Miami Dolphins at New England Patriots, 10 a.m., FOX (stream with free trial from FUBO)

Both teams have been struggling and we really have no idea what to expect besides the fact that this will be an ugly game.

Prediction: Dolphins 20, Patriots 13

Cleveland Browns at Washington Commanders, 10 a.m., FOX (stream with free trial from FUBO)

Jayden Daniels and the "college offense" for Washington has been dynamic. Eventually, teams might start to slow down the Commanders, we just don't think it will be in Week 5.

Prediction: Commanders 28, Browns 17

Sunday late NFL football game predictions, Oct. 6

Las Vegas Raiders at Denver Broncos, 1:05 p.m., FOX (stream with free trial from FUBO)

The winner of this game moves to 3-2. We expect a defensive struggle and we have to give the edge to the team that has allowed just 55 points all season (Denver).

Prediction: Broncos 17, Raiders 13

Arizona Cardinals at San Francisco 49ers, 1:05 p.m., FOX (stream with free trial from FUBO)

The 49ers are the biggest favorite of the week. Can the Cardinals shock San Francisco? Can they even keep this game close. Not the way they are playing.

Prediction: 49ers 31, Cardinals 17

Green Bay Packers at Los Angeles Rams, 1:25 p.m., CBS (stream with free trial from FUBO)

Which Rams team will show up? We have a feeling it will be the one that beat the 49ers earlier this season.

Prediction: Rams 24, Packers 20

New York Giants at Seattle Seahawks, 1:25 p.m., CBS (stream with free trial from FUBO)

Malik Nabers has been impressive, but we don't think New York can keep up with the Seahawks in Seattle.

Prediction: Seahawks 27, Giants 17

New Orleans Saints at Kansas City Chiefs, 5:15 p.m., ESPN, ESPN2 (stream with free trial from FUBO)

The Chiefs just find ways to win. They'll find a way to defeat the Saints at Arrowhead Stadium in the last game on the NFL Week 5 schedule on Monday Night Football.

Prediction: Chiefs 23, Saints 20

The Detroit Lions, Los Angeles Chargers, Philadelphia Eagles and Tennessee Titans are off this week.
