2018 NFL Picks, score predictions for Week 5

Week 5 of the 2018 season is here, and we’ve got another helping of the NFL picks and score predictions to get you through this upcoming round of games.

The first quarter of the 2018 campaign is officially over, as we’re now heading into Week 5. To say that this NFL season has been full of twists and turns would be a major understatement considering the many surprises we’ve seen since the fun began less than a month ago.

That’s why I’ve taken it upon myself to supply you with another round of NFL picks and score predictions. Now I’ll never claim that these are going to be completely on the money. In fact, there’s a pretty solid chance several of my picks will be utter failures. I will, however, make my selections based on research, experience and careful consideration.

The first three weeks weren’t kind to me. However, things took a 180-degree turn in the right direction in Week 4, when I managed a heavily improved 10-4 record (Monday game still pending), bringing my season record to 34-25-2. It’s been a bumpy road with all of these early-season shockers, but last week’s effort gave me hope for a brighter future.

All I can do is make the best predictions possible and hope you tag along for the ride.

So with that in mind, here are my NFL picks and score predictions for the 15 games on the docket for Week 5. Just keep in mind that I assume no responsibility if you choose to place wagers based on my picks — that’s your decision, not mine.

Week 5 Byes: Chicago Bears (3-1), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-2)
