New York Giants (3-1) at Green Bay Packers (3-1)

  • Channel: NFL Network
  • Start time: 9:30 a.m. ET
  • Live stream: NFL App, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV

The Packers play the first international game in franchise history when QB Aaron Rodgers and company take the field at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Green Bay extended its winning streak to three games in a close Week 4 victory over the New England Patriots.

Rodgers is still developing a connection with his receivers. However, rookie Romeo Doubs scored his second touchdown in as many weeks. If Allen Lazard can continue to be depended upon for yardage, Doubs should continue to blossom, as Lazard will be viewed as the Packers’ first option.

Meanwhile, the Giants fly across the Atlantic in even worse shape. New York currently has just two WRs, David Sills V and Richie James, ready to suit up Sunday morning. With Daniel Jones hobbled, expect many touches for the Giants’ backfield. The Packers should get ample opportunities to iron out some wrinkles in the offensive game plan.

Pittsburgh Steelers (1-3) at Buffalo Bills (3-1)

  • Channel: CBS
  • Start time: 1 p.m. ET
  • Live stream: CBS All-Access, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV

The Kenny Pickett Era begins for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Following another lackluster start in Week 4, Pittsburgh benched QB Mitchell Trubisky in favor of the rookie to start the second half. Pickett was able to generate some positive offensive drives, marching down the field for two touchdowns despite also tossing three interceptions due to receiver tips.

Pittsburgh heads to western New York to take on the Buffalo Bills, who were able to finish off a second-half comeback of their own against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4. This will be the fourth consecutive season the Bills and Steelers have gone head-to-head. Buffalo is still a bit hampered on defense, but Josh Allen should widen that gap again for an easy Buffalo win.

Los Angeles Chargers (2-2) at Cleveland Browns (2-2)

  • Channel: CBS
  • Start time: 1 p.m. ET
  • Live stream: CBS All-Access, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV

The Chargers snapped their two-game losing streak last week with a 10-point victory over the Texans. RB Austin Ekeler finally awoke from his offseason slumber, visiting the end zone three times. QB Justin Herbert threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns despite his rib injury. Signs of success couldn’t come at a better time, with a visit to the struggling Cleveland Browns on the docket.

Despite the usual success of running the ball, the Browns have struggled to put away games that should not even be in question. All of their games would’ve been decided by one possession if not for a last-second defensive touchdown against the Steelers in Week 3. However, losses to the Jets and Falcons have been difficult to stomach. The Browns will need to rely on RBs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt to run all over a weak Chargers rush defense. Still, Herbert is the better QB and gives Los Angeles the best chance to win.

Detroit Lions (1-3) at New England Patriots (1-3)

  • Channel: FOX
  • Start time: 1 p.m. ET
  • Live stream: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now

You can’t say the Detroit Lions offense isn’t producing this year. The first win of the year came much earlier than in 2021, and the team is averaging over 30 points a game right now. However, the defense is letting opponents score just as much. Week 4’s loss featured 93 points and 1,075 yards of offense from the Lions and Seattle Seahawks.

Meanwhile, the Patriots will be forced to start the third QB of the season as rookie Bailey Zappe will get his first start with both Mac Jones and Brian Hoyer out. Lions QB Jared Goff has been playing exceptionally well this season, and even with a massive amount of injuries, he still found ways to move Detroit’s offense down the field in Week 4.

The same cannot be said for the Patriots’ offense. While Zappe will have more time to develop chemistry with the first team this week and get snaps as the starter, New England’s offense hasn’t shown enough to keep up with Detroit.

Seattle Seahawks (2-2) at New Orleans Saints (1-3)

  • Channel: FOX
  • Start time: 1 p.m. ET
  • Live stream: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now

Pete Carroll must feel like the most intelligent man alive watching his former franchise QB struggle while his ground-and-pound mentality has pushed the Seahawks to a surprising 2-2 record. RB Rashaad Penny had a breakout week, rushing for 151 yards and two touchdowns against the Lions. While the Saints’ defense is stout on paper, they spend too much time on the field to keep up that ferocity for 60 minutes.

The Saints’ offense looks nothing like it did a season ago with Sean Payton at the helm. Despite returning this season, WR Michael Thomas will miss his second consecutive game after missing the entirety of the 2021 season. New Orleans will start Andy Dalton under center pushing Jameis Winston’s absence to two weeks. Luckily, the Saints will have Alvin Kamara back and ready to go, giving Dalton one top-tier offensive weapon back. However, Seattle should be able to outpace the offense en route to securing the Seahawks’ third win.

Miami Dolphins (3-1) at New York Jets (2-2)

  • Channel: CBS
  • Start time: 1 p.m. ET
  • Live stream: CBS All-Access, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV

It’s the Teddy Bridgewater show this week. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel ruled Tua Tagovailoa out early in the week as the QB continues to recover from a concussion suffered in last week’s Thursday night game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Jets host the Dolphins as QB Zach Wilson prepares to make his second start of the season.

Bridgewater led the Broncos to seven wins last season, including a shutout against the Jets. Miami’s defense has been firing on all cylinders, and the WR duo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle is becoming game-breaking. A week of first-team snaps at practice should correct some timing issues from Thursday, and Miami should return to their winning ways.

Atlanta Falcons (2-2) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-2)

  • Channel: FOX
  • Start time: 1 p.m. ET
  • Live stream: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now

Tom Brady looked more to form in the Buccaneers’ Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, but there’s still a lot of work to do in Tampa. Getting his receivers back was extremely helpful as Chris Godwin and Mike Evans thrived last Sunday night.

The Falcons have won back-to-back games, but they’ve done it by taking advantage of sketchy offenses. Both the Seahawks and Browns rely on the rushing game. Seattle’s rushing contributions were mediocre, while Atlanta beat Cleveland at their own game. The Buccaneers represent an entirely different challenge, though. Even if the Falcons can stop Leonard Fournette on the ground, they aren’t stopping the plethora of weapons at Brady’s disposal with their current secondary. They, unfortunately, don’t have four A.J. Terrell’s.

Tennessee Titans (2-2) at Washington Commanders (1-3)

  • Channel: CBS
  • Start time: 1 p.m. ET
  • Live stream: CBS All-Access, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV

The Titans have rebounded from an 0-2 start winning back-to-back games. Derrick Henry enters this contest after a 114-yard performance as he continues to look more and more like himself. Unfortunately, the Titans will be without rookie WR Treylon Burks after suffering an injury in the fourth-quarter win over the Colts in Week 4.

Meanwhile, the Commanders are a mess. Carson Wentz is Carson Wentz. What more needs to be said? Since what now looks like a surprising victory over the Jaguars in Week 1, the Commanders are currently on a three-game losing streak. The RBs have flourished as well as rookie WR Jahan Dotson and Curtis Samuel, but Wentz’s mistakes have been too much to overcome. If Tannehill can take advantage of a weak Washington secondary, it will be a long afternoon in the Nation’s capital.

Houston Texans (0-3-1) at Jacksonville Jaguars (2-2)

  • Channel: CBS
  • Start time: 1 p.m. ET
  • Live stream: CBS All-Access, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV

The Texans remain the only winless team left this season. The Week 1 tie cannot save them from the donut in the win column, and now they take on a Jacksonville team who looks much different from the past few seasons.

QB Trevor Lawrence looks great in Doug Pederson’s system, and the gamble on Christian Kirk has paid dividends. The Texans have struggled mightily against the pass this season, and Lawrence is ready for a defining divisional win. Combine that with the two-headed rushing monster the Jaguars have created with James Robinson and Travis Etienne Jr., and there’s not much to convince me that Houston has a substantial chance at winning this game.

San Francisco 49ers (2-2) at Carolina Panthers (1-3)

  • Channel: CBS
  • Start time: 4:05 p.m. ET
  • Live stream: CBS All-Access, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV

The San Francisco 49ers go coast to coast to take on the Carolina Panthers. For Carolina, the trade for Baker Mayfield has not produced much. There’s no consistency from Mayfield from drive to drive. While they’ve made it work against some teams, they have one of the best defenses in the league coming to town.

Jimmy Garoppolo has helped the 49ers’ offense look more fluid through three weeks, but when your defense stifles every opponent, the added drives help smooth things out quicker. Between the defense’s domination through four weeks and WR Deebo Samuel picking up where his 2021 left off, the 49ers should have no issues dispatching the Panthers.

Dallas Cowboys (3-1) at Los Angeles Rams (2-2)

  • Channel: FOX
  • Start time: 4:25 p.m. ET
  • Live stream: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now

The Rams have struggled following their Super Bowl win last season. The offense doesn’t look as cohesive, and the defense can only remain solid for so long without any support. A case in point is the Rams’ two losses. Los Angeles scored 10 points in Week 1 and nine in Week 4. Meanwhile, the defense didn’t fall apart until the fourth quarter.

On the other side is the Dallas Cowboys, who have enjoyed a 3-0 run under the direction of backup QB Cooper Rush. However, the Rams’ front is merciless, creating immense pressure in the backfield. The same can be said for Dallas’ defense, but give me Matthew Stafford’s experience over Rush’s tendency to be a hero.

Philadelphia Eagles (4-0) at Arizona Cardinals (2-2)

  • Channel: FOX
  • Start time: 4:25 p.m. ET
  • Live stream: Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, FOX Now

The final game in the late afternoon window on the NFL games today schedule features a bird bowl between the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinals. Jalen Hurts and the Eagles have arrived and, as of now, look like the best team in the NFC. The defense is making plays, and the offense is firing on all cylinders. Just how far can they go?

Philadelphia should have no issues making it to 5-0 in Week 5. Arizona has struggled mightily early on in games this season. The Cardinals have scored just 16 first-half points through four weeks in 2022. They’ve been able to make up the gap in the second half twice so far, but don’t expect the Eagles to allow them to catch up. Arizona must avoid a slow start if the Cardinals want to hand the Eagles their first loss. With no DeAndre Hopkins, it seems unlikely the Cardinals can break out of the offensive funk.

Cincinnati Bengals (2-2) at Baltimore Ravens (2-2)

  • Channel: NBC
  • Start time: 8:20 p.m. ET
  • Live stream: NBC Sports, Peacock TV

Let’s end the night with an AFC North rivalry. The Cincinnati Bengals head to M&T Bank Stadium to take on the Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals have bounced back from a rough start winning back-to-back wins. The defense has stepped up, and Joe Burrow is starting to look more like himself after a very wild offseason. However, Ravens QB Lamar Jackson continues to play at an MVP-caliber level.

Despite having a 2-2 record, the Ravens have been leading for all but 14 seconds of the first four games of 2022. Questionable coaching decisions seem to be the catalyst for the two second-half collapses, but Jackson can’t do everything himself. Baltimore bounces back at home to take sole possession of first place in the AFC North.
