The Pat McAfee Show Picks & Predicts Every Game For NFL's 2023 Week 5

Let's suck up a little bit to our records in picking games this year. Okay. Let's lift them up, actually. Let's not suck them up. Let's do that. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to pick all the NFL games. Let's go to London, England, 9.30 a.m. We assume that thing says Jaguars-Bills, Bills favored by five and a half in London. Jacksonville has stayed in London all week, so they're used to the time zone and the air over there. AJ, who do you like? What do you like? It's tough to pick against the Bills right now with how their offense is playing, what their defense is able to do, but give me the Jacksonville Jags plus five and a half, staying there for a week and kind of making that place home. Connor, is Jackson DeVille jumping off the top of that stadium? Yes, I do believe he is, and I don't think he's in his mascot fit, Pat. I believe he is in his thong that we saw last year, cheeks out for the London people. I do like the fact that he has different costumes for each game, and his cheeks out last year certainly offended some people, but the Bills are prepared for all of that. Always. Bills minus five and a half in London, Josh Allen's going to want to put on a show. Panthers, Lions, and it's not just the Lions, it's the brand new Lions. Shout out to the crowd there for you, Foxy. They're favored by 10 with Bryce Young on the road. Jeez. Why are these giant spreads always happening? Because the Panthers stink. And the Lions are really good. Yeah. The lows and the highs. Give me Lions minus 10. Me as well. Frank Reich is starting to do the Ron Rivera thing. He's saying the inside thoughts with an outside voice. We need to keep those inside voices. Even if Coach Reich is saying something that a lot of coaches have potentially thought in their past, you don't need to be saying as the play caller, head coach, and everything. I called a play for Adam Thielen and he wasn't on the field. I had to burn a time out, I've got to be better about that. I thought it was going to Thielen. That's not good. I'm sure people have thought that before. It happens probably every week for a coach who has some sort of mess up that they know about. But just keep that one inside. And give me the Lions. Give me the Lions. 10 points. Texans, Falcons, one and a half, A.J. Hawk. So this one, we had C.J. Stroud on the show, what, yesterday? Yes. Very impressive. He's playing, obviously, remarkable at the quarterback position. Give me the Houston Texans, their underdogs, plus one and a half on the road against Atlanta. We actually have Houston Texans jerseys in the crowd front row. They've been here the entire time. Literally been here the entire time. A.J. I think we have, yeah, there it is. Well, they were celebrating for that guy. He was getting booed. Now he's not getting booed on TV. It's even better. Shout out to him and Houston Texans fans. They should be fans of the Houston Texans. Because C.J. Stroud, the guy that was on our show yesterday, I love him. Give me the Houston Texans until further notice, in my eyes. Even though Atlanta Falcons coach Artie Smith, we love as well. Yeah. Did not take the bye after the London game. I don't know if you guys did that when you were playing or no. We did not take the bye either. We won the next week, though, which is good news. I don't know if that really means anything with modern transportation, but who knows what modern transportation is anyways these days? Titans, Colts. I got the Colts. A.J., you have? The Titans. What's your deal? Wow. What's your deal? Why do you got to be like that? I guess I'm a homer to the Titans and Mike Vrabel, even though the Titans are favorites on the road. So they shouldn't be. I think it should be the other way around. You should give me two and a half. That's not how this works. I will get two and a half points at home with Anthony Richardson. Raven Steelers. Very, very. Ravens minus four and a half for me. A.J. Ravens minus 13 and a half for me. Whoa. Give me the Pittsburgh Steelers plus four and a half. There you go. Strictly. And there's terrible talent there. I do believe. Yeah. Steelers fans are everywhere. Steelers fans are literally everywhere. Give me the Pittsburgh Steelers just strictly because Cam Hayward said, hey, Pat, enough. That's what he said. Hayward actually said, hey, Pat, hey, Pat McAfee, love you. That's enough. No more of that. Love you. No, it was over. Action Monday. But none of that. And that guy's head, this big, gigantic, picked a human up that I've seen on on our particular team is 300 and some pounds of just yeah, he's very strong, man. Don't want to be. Don't want to be on strong man's bad side. No, no, no. So I like to let strong man big head know that I was accurate in what I was saying. But you still have time and turn it around. I understand. I understand what you're saying. I was giving the Steelers plus four and a half just because rivalry game Giants Dolphins 11 and a half point spread down there in Miami. I mean, 11 and a half points seems like a gigantic amount in the NFL especially. But still give me the Miami Dolphins minus 11 and a half. I will take the Dolphins as well. And Wink got no sleep for no reason. Saints at the Patriots one point dogs at home. Bill Belichick. Yeah, this is a prototypical game. They're going to win this one. And then I don't know how long it's going to be till the next win. But yeah, the Saints, they should take care of business. OK, AJ, what do you like? You know what? I'm have to go with con man on this one. I was kind of waffling back and forth. It's basically a pick him. But yeah, give me Patriots plus one. I wanted to be the one that picks the Patriots here. I know I want to be the guy. I know Jimmy Graham's your friend. Yes, very much so. Not anymore. He's a great pilot. Flies helicopters, airplanes. You can pick the Saints if you want. I absolutely could pick the Saints. You're right. I'm going to go with the Patriots. All right. I'm picking the Patriots. Come on. I believe in Bill Belichick at this stage still, even though everybody's telling me I should not. Even Patriots fans are saying that Eagles or Rams four and a half point dogs at home. And so far, AJ, I mean, I hate picking against the Eagles on anything, but I have some faith in the Rams and what they can do, especially Matthew Stafford. Cooper Cup is back and healthy episodes of the podcast will be released soon. Correct. What? Absolutely. Dine and dine. What's that? He's doing two podcasts now. Who? Stafford. Yeah. His wife has one. Yeah. He's not on the other one. I thought he was. No. She's talking about what are you doing? She talks about it. He was on with Kelly. Kelly Stafford. As a guest one time. Just real quick, though. Kelly Stafford's a great lady. Yeah. Foxy. Do you have a microphone back there? I don't know. Foxy has a microphone in the truck. Foxy and I got to meet Kelly Stafford at a wedding. She's fantastic. She's awesome. Guys. Thank you. Foxy. Foxy and Kelly Stafford are awesome. Awesome. They are very cool. Very nice people. Down to earth. And she has a podcast that's very successful. I know. Yeah. But you just said it's his. It's not his. No. I thought he was on her podcast. Oh. He was a guest. Yeah. And sometimes not even a guest. She'll just talk about the stuff they talk about. Oh. And that's where we hear about all. Yeah. You're right. Yeah. I think when Kelly and Mark Consuelos step down that Kelly and Matt Stafford should host that show. Oh. I like that. He better. If he doesn't, he's a foogey. Well, we don't say it for two hours. Never. That's kind of right in our face right there. I will take the Eagles minus four and a half in Los Angeles. OK. How about you, AJ? I'm taking the L.A. Rams plus four and a half at home. What am I thinking? Give me the Rams. I just saw them last week. They're good. Matthew Stafford's really good. Eagles are very good. I agree. But so are the Rams. They beat the Colts. Colts aren't easy to beat. OK. Of course. Bengals Cardinals. Three point. Dogs at home in Arizona. I mean. Do the Bengals put it together finally? Do we think? You tell me. Actually, you know what? Joe Burrow said he feels as good as he has felt in a long time. Bengals minus three for me. This feels like the time that the Bengals put it together. This feels like the time they do it. Where, you know, everything is getting bad. And everything we know about Joey Burrow is Joey Burrow answers. Yeah. Give me the Bengals. Even though I love Joshua Dobbs. Chiefs Vikings. Three and a half point. Dogs at home. Let's go. Three and a half point. Dogs at home. Love Harrison Smith. Love the Minnesota Vikings. Everything they have. Give me the Chiefs minus three and a half. That's not a weird line. Chiefs versus a one and four? One and three and a half Vikings? Why is it not higher? I don't know. It's because of this thing. Do they know something, though, that we don't know? Yep. The books? It's because of this thing. Score. I don't think anybody's doing it. Score. Oh, we're getting them? Score. No. Is anybody doing it? Score. No. That's not their thing. That's how it is. It's just that we have a lot of kids to play. Kirk Cousins has played okay. I don't know. Three and a half does feel weird. I think it opened like five and a half and it's going that way. So what's that mean? That means what's his face. But all right. Give me the Chiefs. Yeah, they just haven't. I'm assuming that's the right thing. They haven't covered. I'm assuming that's the right thing. Got about a minute left here. Give me Chiefs. Who do you like, AJ? I like the Broncos. Chiefs. Vikings. I already picked the Chiefs. Okay. Jets. Broncos. Two and a half. Give me the Broncos. Cowboys Niners, three and a half. I'll take Niners. I will take the Niners as well. We'll pick Monday night. On Monday, we appreciate you all so much for tuning in here on ESPN, live from the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas, with a massive weekend in store here at the Texas State Fair. From Connor, Ty Diggs, A.J. Hawk. A.J. Hawk. A.J. Hawk. We can't thank you enough for tuning in. The boys in the back, you guys crushed it. We'll continue on YouTube on the other side. Cheers.
