PFT’s Week 5 2026 NFL picks - NBC Sports

1. 49ers (last week No. 3; 4-0): Take that, substation.2. Chiefs (No. 2; 4-0): They need help at receiver, badly.3. Jaguars (No. 5; 3-1): The Jaguars have the best shot at winning the No. 1 seed in the AFC.4. Bills (No. 1; 3-1): The benefited from getting early-season wins against teams that aren’t as good as most thought they’d be.5. Seahawks (No. 6; 3-1): Let Rashid cook. 6. Broncos (No. 4; 2-2): The Davis Webb problem isn’t going away. 7. Rams (No. 8; 2-2): It shouldn’t have been as hard as it was in Philly.8. Vikings (No. 9; 4-0): Kyler Murray is no longer the Road Runner.9. Bears (No. 10; 3-1): Kyle Monangai may be emerging as the best tailback option. 10. Ravens (No. 12; 3-1): They’ll need Lamar Jackson back sooner than later.11. Raiders (No. 15; 3-1): Even though they lost, the Raiders must be regarded as a contender.12. Browns (No. 18; 3-1): The Browns may soon be saying, “The Steelers is the Steelers.”13. Patriots (No. 20; 2-2): Drake Maye was under more pressure than anyone in Week 4, and he delivered.14. Steelers (No. 13; 2-2): The best-case scenario is 9-8. The worst-case scenario is they’re giving Will Howard or Drew Allar game reps after Thanksgiving.15.

Maybe it’s good that I’m no longer doing the Joint Mega Picks Podcast. From 10-6 to 9-7 to 8-8, the trend is not my friend. (For the season, I’m 27-21.)In Week 3, the best pick was Ravens over Cowboys (especially since the wild-guess score prediction was 34-30). Worst pick: Buccaneers over Vikings. Flew too close to the sun on wings of pastrami pick: Bengals over Steelers, based on the erroneous conclusion that Pittsburgh’s find-a-way magic dried up when Mike Tomlin left town. But each week brings another opportunity to land closer to 16-0 than 0-16. Hopefully, this year’s weekly one-game slide won’t result in 7-9. Steelers at Browns (Thursday night) The Steelers have gone 1-7 in Cleveland since 2018. To make matters worse, the Steelers are 0-9 in Thursday night games against AFC North rivals. What better way to turn the page on the recent past than to go to Cleveland and find a way to win? Aaron Rodgers will need to get his 42-year-old body ready to go on a short week, and the Steelers will need to play well on both sides of the ball. Browns coach Todd Monken has plenty of experience against the Steelers, given his time with the Ravens.
