It's another Sunday in the NFL, so it's time to check in with this week's matchups and make some predictions for Week 5.
Washington at Baltimore
The Ravens suffered a brutal heartbreaker last week at home against the Raiders. I don't expect them to let down two weeks in a row.
Pick: Baltimore 23, Washington 21
New England at Cleveland
Cleveland's miserable season continues; Tom Brady will be ready to unleash hell on the lowly franchise in his return.
Pick: New England 38, Cleveland 10
Philadelphia at Detroit
Fresh off of the bye week, facing an injured, erratic Lions team, the Eagles should face little difficulty reaching their first 4-0 start since 2004.
Pick: Philadelphia 27, Detroit 16
Chicago at Indianapolis
The Bears might be able to put up some numbers against the weak Indy defense, but this is a game the Colts just have to win.
Pick: Indianapolis 31, Chicago 23
Tennessee at Miami
The Dolphins have just looked absolutely brutal. At least the Titans have been in a couple of their losses. I think the Titans are the better team, and edge the erratic Miami squad.
Pick: Tennessee 20, Miami 16
Houston at Minnesota
The Vikings defense will demolish Brock Osweiler, and keep Minnesota undefeated going into their bye. Sam Bradford once again will contribute a mere 170 passing yards in the effort.
Pick: Minnesota 23, Houston 10
New York at Pittsburgh
The Steelers are nearly unbeatable at home. Ryan Fitzpatrick is turning the ball over at an alarming rate, setting the stage for another Pittsburgh blowout.
Pick: Pittsburgh 31, New York 17
Atlanta at Denver
Time for the Falcons to come crashing down to earth against one of the few true elite defenses in this league.
Pick: Denver 23, Atlanta 16
Cincinnati at Dallas
Dak Prescott faces a competent defense for the first time all season. Playing without Dez Bryant will be much more of an issue against this defense than it was against Chip Kelly's lowly 49ers.
Pick: Cincinnati 24, Dallas 20
Buffalo at Los Angeles
Case Keenum and the Rams can't possibly go on a four-game winning streak, can they?
Pick: Buffalo 20, Los Angeles 13
San Diego at Oakland
The Raiders have found ways to come through in big moments this year, while the Chargers have found ways to choke winnable games away. Oakland rolls at home.
Pick: Oakland 27, San Diego 20
New York at Green Bay
If Odell Beckham suffers another meltdown, he could take the Giants' season with him. Green Bay is fresh off the bye, and is just getting their offense on track. They should have no trouble picking up a win at home.
Pick: Green Bay 30, New York 23
Carolina at Tampa Bay
It's a must-win for both teams. Cam Newton won't be able to play, but I have to believe that the Panthers pick things up and get a much-needed win over a Bucs team that still may be at least another year away.
Pick: Carolina 26, Tampa Bay 17
