NFL Week 5, 2019: 20 Bold predictions to consider

Could Week 5 finally be the time in which Kyler Murray finally earns that first career win as a starter?
Since a prediction was already made that the Cincinnati Bengals would in fact take down the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, it only seems fair to stick to that story, and instead discuss the kind of performance that Murray could still end up putting together.
Like most rookies, Murray’s first season of NFL action has been a learning experience since despite some of the impressive qualities, there are a few areas in need of improvement.
On a positive note, after watching how much the Bengals’ defense struggled on Monday night during their loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Murray still seems like he will receive plenty of opportunities to help the Cardinals put up points.
Murray’s ability to be effective with his legs seems like one of the factors that will set him apart from other quarterbacks across the league in time, and even if Arizona comes out on the losing end in this one, a career day by the rookie quarterback shouldn’t be ruled out.
No matter what, at least the early experience for Murray will help the quarterback get to the necessary level the Cardinals need him to be considered a legitimate contender again in the NFC.
