Chicago Bears (3-1) at Oakland Raiders (2-2)

Venue and weather: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Partly Sunny, 57°F at kickoff

Prediction: Here’s an interesting watch. The Chicago Bears and Oakland Raiders are playing a football game in London. After dropping their first game of the season, the Bears have won three straight games.

After appearing on Hard Knocks, the Raiders won their first game of 2019 and then returned to some familiar territory, being an average team with no direction and no real identity. All they can hang their hat on is the idea that their coach is entertaining. He’s overrated, but he’s very entertaining. Chicago wins easily. Final Score: Bears 24, Raiders 9

Atlanta Falcons (1-3) at Houston Texans (2-2)

Venue and weather: NRG Stadium, Mostly Sunny, 87°F at kickoff

Prediction: When the NFL released the 2019 schedule, a Week 5 date between the Atlanta Falcons and Houston Texans was surely a game that every NFL fan had to circle. You’ve got stars everywhere. You’ve got two teams that were supposed to contend for the top spot in their respective divisions. You’ve got two of the game’s best at quarterback.

Neither the Falcons and Texans have gotten off to the start that either of them would have liked, but neither team is out of the hunt either. This one will live up to the billing, but in the end, the better team, Houston, should come out on top in a shootout. Final Score: Atlanta 31, Texans 34
