Predicting upsets in Week 5 of NFL season
Predicting games in NFL Week 5 that could end up in an upset.
As the NFL season progresses, the definition of an upset begins to shift. Bill Parcells once said, "You are what your record says you are," and the Houston Texans exemplify this sentiment with their 3-1 record, currently leading their division. However, the Cleveland Browns, also at 3-1, are anticipated to pull off the upset when they face the Jets at MetLife Stadium on September 27, 2026.
Despite consensus belief in the Jets' victory, the Browns, led by quarterback Deshaun Watson, have the potential to upset expectations. Similarly, the Minnesota Vikings, with a perfect 4-0 record, are set to travel to New Orleans and face the struggling Saints. The Saints, coming off back-to-back home losses, may be vulnerable when the Vikings take to the field.
The New York Giants, at 3-1, will host the Washington Commanders, who sit at 1-3. Head coach Todd Monken believes in his team, and Deshaun Watson is performing well; thus, the Browns are expected to secure the upset victory.
