The Sports Illustrated team breaks down their picks to win all 14 games in Week 5 of the 2024 NFL season. /

We're starting to get into the meat of the NFL season with four weeks now in the rearview mirror. Week 5 will mark the beginning of BYE weeks for team across the NFL. The Los Angeles Chargers, Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles and Tennessee Titans will be on BYE this week which means we have just 14 games to watch and bet on.

The Sports Illustrated team will continue to make their straight-up picks for every single game this season. We don't care about point spreads in this article, all we're trying to do is to pick the winner of each game, which is more difficult than you'd think especially in a season full of upsets.

Let's take a look where everyone stands through the first four weeks and then we'll dive into our picks for Week 5.
