NFL Preview – Week 5 Tips & Predictions

01/10/2025|Josh Jenkins|NFL Tips & Predictions
<p>Week 4 was a weird one across the National Football League.&nbsp;</p> <p>We had devastating injuries – Tyreek Hill and Malik Nabers both suffered season-ending leg injuries – whilst Green Bay and Dallas played out the season’s first tie after being unable to separate during overtime.</p> <p>Betting-wise, Jordan Love needed 250 pass yards and two touchdowns; he managed 337 and 3. De’Von Achane was listed for 60+ rush yards and a TD he did so with ease.</p> <p>Finally, we took Bengals running back Chase Brown for a touchdown, too. Cincinnati only managed three points against Denver…</p> <p>Onto week five.</p> <p>For the latest NFL news, predictions, and betting tips, read on with my NFL Tips &amp; Predictions for week 4 below!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>San Francisco 49ers vs Los Angeles Rams</h2> <p><em><strong>Friday, October 3rd, 10:15 AM, AEST, SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles</strong></em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Here in this NFC West clash, both teams arrive 3-1, but I have positive vibes about one and playoff-missing predictions about the other.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Rams feel like a real Super Bowl sleeper this season, provided Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua remain healthy. San Fran has already lost key pieces to injury, with some not returning this season.</p> <p>On the short week, I almost always roll with the home team; therefore, I see a Rams win in this one.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip: </strong><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/american-football/nfl/san-francisco-49ers-at-los-angeles-rams-9656048">Rams 24 - 49ers 17&nbsp;</a></p> <p><strong>Best Bet:</strong> Rams 1-13 &amp; Kyren Williams anytime TD</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>New England Patriots vs Buffalo Bills</h2> <p><em><strong>Monday, October 6th, 11:20 AM AEST, Orchard Park, New York</strong></em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Another divisional showdown, but one that will likely be a mismatch.&nbsp;</p> <p>Drake Maye and the Patriots are developing under new coach Mike Vrabel’s leadership, but Josh Allen, James Cook, and the Bills appear to be the best team in football.</p> <p>Buffalo was in fourth gear last week’s win over New Orleans.</p> <p>James Cook kept it rolling, though, gashing the Saints for 117 yards and a score. Allen added a rushing TD, too.</p> <p>Before the weather turns sour in Orchard Park, New York, we might see another offensive masterclass from JA, JC, and these Bills.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/american-football/nfl/new-england-patriots-at-buffalo-bills-9656039">Bills 30 - Patriots 21</a></p> <p><strong>Best Bet:</strong> James Cook 2+ TD’s</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Kansas City Chiefs vs Jacksonville Jaguars</h2> <p><em><strong>Tuesday, October 7th, 11:15 AM AEST, Everbank Stadium, Jacksonville</strong></em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>This one feels big, though, with the Jags arriving 3-1 off a nifty win in San Francisco and Kansas City getting a get-right performance with a 37-20 victory over Baltimore.&nbsp;</p> <p>Patrick Mahomes went vintage mode, throwing for 270 yards and 4 TD without a giveaway.</p> <p>Xavier Worthy’s presence was handy after overcoming that shoulder injury. The versatile speedster picked up 38 yards on just two runs but also amassed 83 yards in the pass game.</p> <p>The Chiefs are far from the perfect product, but seeing them put 37 points on the board will give fans hope again.</p> <p>For the Jags, at home on the big stage, this feels like a groundbreaking moment in time for Trevor Lawrence and new coach Liam Coen.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/american-football/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs-at-jacksonville-jaguars-9656052">Jaguars 24 - Chiefs 23</a></p> <p><strong>Best Bet:</strong> Jags +3.5</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>And, as per our NFL video content on the Sportsbet app, the weekly touchdown scorers are Derrick Henry (Ravens), Daniel Jones (Colts), Alvin Kamara (Saints), and Javonte Williams (Cowboys).
