We picked all of this weekend's games below. Take a gander and let us know where you disagree.
Houston Texans vs. Minnesota Vikings (MIN -6.5)
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET

The Vikings are looking unbeatable these days thanks to their defensive corps and impressive play from Sam Bradford under center. Houston got back on the winning side last week against Tennessee, but in Minnesota's new raucous building, look for the Vikes to remain undefeated on Sunday.
Pick: Vikings
Chicago Bears vs. Indianapolis Colts (IND -4.5)
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET

One more loss to a subpar opponent and Chuck Pagano will likely be out of a job -- but the Colts should be able to handle a Bears team with no Jay Cutler or Jeremy Langford.
Pick: Colts
New York Jets vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (PIT -7)
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET

The Jets' brutal schedule doesn't get any easier in Week 5, and Ryan Fitzpatrick's recent stretch doesn't give us any inclination to lean toward a road New York upset whatsoever.
Pick: Steelers
Tennessee Titans vs. Miami Dolphins (MIA -3.5)
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET

Arian Foster may suit up for Miami after missing a pair of games with a groin strain, which could give Miami a means of combatting Tennessee's run game, led by DeMarco Murray in a resurgent year. But Ryan Tannehill's struggles have kept the Dolphins' offense stagnant all year, while the Titans -- a week after hanging in with Houston -- might be due for a positive result.
Pick: Titans
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Detroit Lions (PHI -3)
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET
Getty
Carson Wentz and the Eagles will attempt to stay undefeated on the road in Week 5, and after losing to the lowly Bears last Sunday, the Lions aren't exactly rolling in with a ton of momentum. If Wentz can keep his performance up, the Eagles shouldn't have a problem remaining unbeaten.
Pick: Eagles
New England Patriots vs. Cleveland Browns (NE -10.5)
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET
Getty
There will be blood. It won't be pretty on Sunday, with Tom Brady back in the fold with a chip on his shoulder. Good luck, Cleveland.
Pick: Patriots
Washington Redskins vs. Baltimore Ravens (BAL -3.5)
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET
Getty
Washington's season has turned around of late, while the Ravens suffered their first loss of the season after a soft schedule to open their season. In the wide-open NFC East, Washington could keep itself in the thick of things with a road win.
Pick: Redskins
Atlanta Falcons vs. Denver Broncos (DEN -5.5)
Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET
Getty
Atlanta is on a roll, having gotten out to a sizable division lead in the early going this year. Denver, one of the few remaining unbeatens, will be the Falcons' toughest opponent yet. An Atlanta win would set the tone for the rest of the season, and prove that the team, led by Matt Ryan and Julio Jones, is back in playoff contention. Call us crazy, but we like their chances.
Pick: Falcons
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Dallas Cowboys (CIN -1)
Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET
Getty
The Dallas offense is rolling thanks to their pair of dynamic rookies, and they'll play host to a Cincinnati team that hasn't beaten a team with a winning record this season. If Dak Prescott continues to progress, the Cowboys should prevail.
Pick: Cowboys
San Diego Chargers vs. Oakland Raiders (OAK -3.5)
Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET
Getty
The Raiders, after more than a decade of futility, finally seem to be a contending team. After knocking off the previously undefeated Ravens in Week 4, look for Oakland to handle San Diego at home.
Pick: Raiders
Los Angeles Rams vs. Buffalo Bills (LA -2.5)
Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET
Getty
After two straight wins against Arizona and New England, Buffalo is quietly on a roll following an 0-2 start. Los Angeles is, too, winning its last three, making for a contest that will likely be competitive from start to finish. We'll take the home team.
Pick: Bills
New York Giants vs. Green Bay Packers (GB -7)
Sunday, 8:30 p.m. ET
Getty
Facing an NFC North powerhouse in primetime for the second straight week, the Giants will need Odell Beckham Jr. to muster up more than three catches this time around -- preferably while maintaining an inkling of poise. Coming off a bye though, the Packers are the stronger team at home, and shouldn't have much trouble taking one at Lambeau.
Pick: Packers
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Carolina Panthers (TBD)
Monday, 8:30 p.m. ET
Getty
Vegas, like the entire football world, is waiting to receive word on if Cam Newton will be able to suit up for Monday night's divisional matchup against the Bucs. If concussion protocol keeps him out of the game, we're inclined to lean toward Tampa Bay.
