2019 NFL picks, score predictions for Week 5

Buffalo Bills (3-1) at Tennessee Titans (2-2)

Sunday, October 6, 1PM ET

Who would have guessed that, through four games, the Buffalo Bills would look like one of the best teams in the AFC? I certainly wouldn’t have, but here we are. That’s a part of why I’m leaning towards them winning this Week 5 matchup.

It’s not just the way they’ve looked, though. It’s how dominant the Buffalo defense has been. So far this season, they’ve the only team to threaten the undefeated Patriots. They’ve done a terrific job of keeping opponents bottled up, allowing a minimum amount of points on Sundays. As a result, they’ve looked like a team worth taking seriously.

The only real concern for the Bills is injury Josh Allen suffered in Week 4. It’s unclear whether he’ll be ready to go or not on Sunday. If he isn’t, Buffalo will have to call upon Matt Barkley to get the job done in Nashville. Even if that is the case, though, the Bills still have a great shot of coming away victorious.

Sure, the Tennessee Titans have a solid defense of their own. However, there’s no way their offense is going to make enough happen against Buffalo’s daunting defense to come away victorious. Still, it should be a close, low-scoring affair that sees the Bills move to 4-1.

Prediction: Bills win 17-13
