NFL Week 5, 2018: 20 Bold predictions to consider

15. Beckham finds end zone for first time
Three losses in four games wasn’t exactly what the New York Giants had in mind since this team was an early candidate to turn things around after winning just three games all of last year, but that’s bee far from the case. On a positive note, at least the Giants still have plenty of time to turn things around since the NFC East race appears to be wide open at this point after the events of Week 4.
Between Odell Beckham Jr. getting healthy along with the addition of Saquon Barkley in the backfield, New York’s offense was expected to be an absolute nightmare for opponents each week, which unfortunately hasn’t been the case. Speaking of Beckham, one can only imagine the level of frustration the wideout is feeling over failing to find the end zone in each of the first four games, but hopefully that will change in Week 5.
Facing a tough defense in the Panthers means Eli Manning is going to need all of the extra help he can get, and nobody would be surprised if this resulted in Beckham receiving plenty of extra passes thrown in his direction. And if it results in a touchdown or two, Beckham will feel less pressure when it comes to that first trip into the end zone.
