SI NFL Team Publishers Week 5 Predictions

Read more on who the NFL team publishers believe will be victorious in Week 5 of the NFL season

John Maakaron

Week 5 of the NFL regular season is now upon us.

The Chicago Bears were victorious over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers , 20-19, in a game that potentially saw Tom Brady forget what down it was late in the fourth-quarter at a critical juncture in the contest.

Tom Brady, on fourth-and-6, threw an incomplete pass. 

Following the play, Brady gestured as if he thought he had one more opportunity to secure a first down. 

Unfortunately, it was a turnover on downs that essentially sealed the victory for the Bears.

Last week -- for the second week in four -- Fantasy PGA analyst Mark Farris was part of a large contingent of staffers who correctly picked 11 games. 

A record 12 people tied for the lead this past week with 11 correct picks. 

Most staffers continue to get disappointed by Dallas -- with only 3 correct picks taking Cleveland.

Only 6 believed in the Panthers to defeat the Arizona Cardinals.

Yours truly was able to go 9-6 (42-20-1) and is currently in the middle of the pack by correctly picking 66% of games through Week 4.

In the coming weeks, SI All Lions will publish weekly NFL predictions from the team of NFL publishers.

Picks will also be included weekly from the team of SI Fantasy and SI Gambling experts.

Be sure to check back weekly to see who ends up the leader at the end of the season.
