NFL Week 5 Predictions: Falcons Face Ravens Amid QB Uncertainty

Yardbarker has released its predictions for the prime-time NFL games in Week 5, featuring matchups on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday nights.

On Thursday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will visit the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys' cornerback Joey Porter Jr. is expected to play a larger role after a successful Week 4, while the Buccaneers will be without starting quarterback Baker Mayfield, who is sidelined due to a thumb injury.

Sunday's game will see the Baltimore Ravens face the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons have shown significant improvement with quarterback Michael Penix Jr., averaging 40 points per game in his two starts. The Ravens, currently dealing with Lamar Jackson's ankle injury, may rely on backup Tyler Huntley if Jackson cannot play. The matchup poses a challenge for Baltimore against Atlanta's potent offense, which includes running back Bijan Robinson.
