NFL model projects scores for Week 5 games
A projection model has published score predictions for the NFL’s Week 5 games, scheduled for Sunday, Oct.
11.
It simulated each matchup 10,000 times to produce its forecasts.
The predictions include a narrow 25-24 win for the Bears over the Packers and a 27-19 Bengals win over the Dolphins.
The model also projects the Colts to beat the Steelers 26-25.
These are forecasts, not results, and some games are expected to be close.
The Packers-Bears game has added uncertainty because quarterback Caleb Williams is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury, and Tyson Bagent could start.
The games are due to be played Sunday.
