NFL Odds Week 5: Schedule, Start Times, and Predictions
Week 5 of the 2021 NFL schedule gets underway tonight when the LA Rams travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks in a huge NFC West clash. Yes, it is still early in the season, however, the 2-2 Seahawks don’t want to drop too far behind the 3-1 Rams and the first-place Arizona Cardinals, who are sitting at a perfect 4-0.
Week 5 – A must-win for these teams?
With the addition of a 17th regular-season game, is Week 5 a “must-win” for teams? It sure is. Let’s start with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Two seasons ago people were talking about a new dynasty for the then Super Bowl 54 Champion Chiefs. That has changed quickly. After losing to the Bucs in a very one-sided game in SB 55, the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes haven’t been that dominant force they were the past two seasons.
Now sitting at 2-2, K.C. will host the surging 3-1 Bills on Sunday night. The last thing the Chiefs want is to drop to 2-3 in the tough AFC West.
Other teams that are desperate for a win in Week 5 are the Seahawks, Niners, and Steelers, The super desperate squads include the 0-4 Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jags. When teams start a season 0-5 their odds of making the playoffs are under 20-percent.
