Check out a list of this week’s top quarterback matchups along with QB picks.

Writer’s NFL Quarterback Picks for the Week 5 Matchups

Ravens Lamar Jackson at Bengals Joe Burrow

Sunday, October 6th, 2024

The Bengals got their first win of the season behind Joe Burrow’s 232 yards and 2 TD passes.

Cincinnati held a hot Carolina squad to 24 points.

For sure, the Ravens should be tough to beat in this.

But Baltimore’s style is likely to be to feed Derrick Henry because Cincinnati’s rush defense isn’t great, which is why Burrow is the pick to post the better stats.

NFL Week 5 QB Pick: Joe Burrow

Jets Aaron Rodgers at Vikings Sam Darnold

Sunday, October 6th, 2024

All Darnold does is throw TD passes.

Darnold is a legit NFL MVP candidate because he’s been on fire this season, passing for 932 yards and 11 TDs with just 3 interceptions.

The Vikings come off a win versus the rival Green Bay Packers at Lambeau.

Back home, Kevin O’Connell’s offense could roll versus a Jets’ defense that isn’t great versus the rush.

O’Connell will find a way to open up the offense for Darnold.

Rodgers can win any QB duel, but he looks tired and we’re only in month two.

Give the win to Darnold.

NFL Week 5 QB Pick: Sam Darnold

Bills Josh Allen at Texans CJ Stroud

Sunday, October 6th, 2024

Stroud was sensational versus the Jaguars when completing 67.5% of his passes for 345 yards and 2 TDs.

But the Texans faced a defense that almost always underperforms.

The Bills had their chances against the Ravens.

Allen got shaken up on a play before Lamar and Baltimore built a 35-10 leads.

If Josh plays, and he should, he’ll post better stats even though CJ may get the victory.

NFL Week 5 QB Pick: Josh Allen

Saints Derek Carr at Chiefs Patrick Mahomes – Monday Night

Monday, October 7th, 2024

There’s no way Derek Carr outduels Patrick Mahomes, right?

Hold off on that opinion.

Magic Mahomes has thrown for 903 yards, 6 TDs, and 5 INTs.

Carr has thrown for 824 yards, 6 TDs, and 3 interceptions.

Also, Carr is going to have all three of his starting wideouts in this while Patrick will miss Rashee Rice, his top target.

The Saints can break the losing streak while the Chiefs may suffer their first loss of the season.

Give the nod to Carr on Monday Night Football.

NFL Week 5 QB Pick: Derek Carr

Cardinals Kyler Murray at 49ers Brock Purdy

Sunday, October 6th, 2024

Murray can turn it on at any moment.

But, wow, that was a bad showing from an Arizona team facing a Washington defense that gave up 33 points to Bengals the week before.

Purdy was his usual calm and collected self in NFL Week 4, dealing 288 yards and a TD pass.

The Niners defense has begun to pick it up.

So Kyler should be in some trouble in this one.

NFL Week 5 QB Pick: Brock Purdy

Cowboys Dak Prescott at Steelers Justin Fields

Sunday, October 6th, 2024

The ColtsColts jumped out to a big lead in the 27-24 victory over the Steelers, requiring Justin Fields to respond.

He did big time when throwing for 312 yards and a TD and rushing for 55 yards and a TD.

Pittsburgh found something in that game.

The Cowboys’ run defense isn’t great, corner Caelon Carson is out, and Micah Parsons is questionable.

Dak will struggle versus the Steelers’ pass rush, which will lead to Fields winning the QB battle.

NFL Week 5 QB Pick: Justin Fields

Browns Deshaun Watson at Commanders Jayden Daniels

Sunday, October 6th, 2024

Deshaun Watson has forgotten how to play football.

He can’t run Kevin Stefanski’s offense.

It’s difficult to understand the problem.

The Browns were much better with Joe Flacco at the helm last season.

Jayden Daniels easily wins this matchups.

Even if Daniels offers underlay odds in any quarterback matchup lines, he’s the pick.

JD is a slam dunk to post better stats than Watson.

NFL Week 5 QB Pick: Jayden Daniels
