2020 NFL picks, score predictions for Week 5

NFL picks and score predictions for Week 5 as the 2020 season rolls along.

With every new week of the 2020 NFL season, we seem to be hit with yet another curveball. Now Week 5 is upon us, and we’re hoping for even more epic gridiron action and nonstop highlight-reel plays. Either way, we’re ready to deliver our weekly NFL picks!

As always, we’ve got you covered with the Week 5 edition of NFL picks and score predictions. Now I’ll never claim that these are going to be 100 percent correct. In fact, there’s a very good chance at least a few of my picks will go completely awry. I will, however, make my selections based on research, experience and careful consideration.

I’m sorry for letting you all down. The first two weeks of the season went extremely well, but the last two have been ugly. After going 8-7-1 in Week 3, things didn’t get much better with a 9-6 finish on my Week 4 picks, moving my overall record on the year to 39-21-1. It’s been a bit of a bummer, but then again, what else should we expect from 2020?

Just remember that making picks is not a science. As much research goes into it, anything can happen on any given Sunday. Isn’t that part of why we watch football in the first place?

Now that we’ve gotten all of that out of the way, here are my NFL picks and score predictions 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: Detroit Lions (1-3), Green Bay Packers (4-0)
