NFL Week 5, 2019: 20 Bold predictions to consider

8. Mack gets revenge on Raiders with three sacks
Looking back, it’s difficult not to wonder if the Oakland Raiders have any regrets in trading Khalil Mack to the Chicago Bears since the star linebacker is off to another hot start on defense for his beloved team.
One can only imagine what the Raiders were thinking at the time since Mack is clearly one of the best defenders in the NFL, and with the Bears traveling to Oakland for Week 5, one can only imagine the excitement he’s feeling.
Even though Mack technically doesn’t need the extra motivation, revenge games tend to see players take things to new levels, and Derek Carr could be in for a long afternoon with all of the potential hits he’s about to take.
So far, Mack already has 4.5 sacks to his names for Chicago during the 2019 season, and as long as he manages to stay healthy, recording double-digit sacks for a fifth year in a row shouldn’t be a problem at all.
Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings was the perfect example of just how dangerous this Bears’ defense can be when on top of their game as one of the top units in the NFL, and Mack is a major reason as to why.
