NFL Week 5 picks back Bears and Eagles under 17.5 points
A betting preview gives expert picks for Week 5 of the 2026 NFL season, with games scheduled for Sunday, Oct.
11.
It backs the Chicago Bears to win by more than 2.5 points against the Green Bay Packers.
It also predicts that the Philadelphia Eagles will score fewer than 17.5 points against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.
The Eagles pick is based on injuries to Philadelphia players and the Jaguars’ record of allowing few points, according to the preview.
The Bears pick points to Chicago’s strong offense and defense as reasons to favor the team.
These are betting predictions, not game results, and the preview also lists a Monday game between the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams.
The games are due to take place on Sunday and Monday.
