2024 Week 5 Picks
Last weekend, I missed getting the picks out due to a trip, but I took that time to reflect and fine-tune my approach.
Through the first four weeks, we've seen offenses struggle across the league, with injuries piling up for many teams. Surprisingly, the Vikings have looked like the most consistent team, while others have shown glimpses of brilliance mixed with some rough performances.
Now, let’s dive into where things stand heading into Week 5 (excluding Week 4) and get into this week’s picks!

Thursday Night Football
Buccaneers (3-1) @ Falcons (2-2) (-2.5)
Week 5 kicks off with a good divisional matchup between two NFC South foes. The Buccaneers enter the game off a butt-whooping of the Philadelphia Eagles where they looked physically dominant and ready to play. Baker Mayfield is playing as good as ever through the early part of the year and Todd Bowles defense has been as a good as expected.
The Falcons, on the other hand, have not lived up to preseason expectations. Even though they have a ton of star power on paper the offense has not clicked yet through 4 games. Defensively they haven’t looked any better with some of the worst pass rushing statistics across the league.
