Tennessee Titans (1- 4)<\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/titans\/\" target=\"_self\">Titans<\/a> look putrid again on Sunday, but a few lucky bounces &amp; they found themselves in the winning column in week 5<\/p>\n<h4>31. Miami Dolphins (1-4)<\/h4>\n<p>The Fins got gashed on the ground in Week 5 for over 200 yards. It doesn\u2019t get any easier with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/chargers\/\" target=\"_self\">Chargers<\/a> coming to town this week.<\/p>\n<h4>30. Carolina Panthers (2-3)<\/h4>\n<p>Rico carries this <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/panthers\/\" target=\"_self\">Panthers<\/a> team on his back in Week 5 to their second win of the season. If this team wants to win more games, they may want to consider giving more touches to Dowdle.<\/p>\n<h4>29. New York Giants (1-4)<\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/giants\/\" target=\"_self\">Giants<\/a> were brought back down to reality in Week 5 as they gave the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/saints\/\" target=\"_self\">Saints<\/a> their first win of the season. Someone on this offense is going to have to step up if this team wants to keep it close versus the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/eagles\/\" target=\"_self\">Eagles<\/a> on Thursday Night Football.<\/p>\n<h4>28. New York Jets (0-5)<\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/jets\/\" target=\"_self\">Jets<\/a> may be the worst team in the league to most, but I still say they are better roster-wise than their record reflects. If they can start playing complete football in all four quarters, they\u2019ll win some games moving forward.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-250128\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27255039_168419650_lowres-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27255039_168419650_lowres-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27255039_168419650_lowres-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27255039_168419650_lowres-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27255039_168419650_lowres-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27255039_168419650_lowres-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27255039_168419650_lowres-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27255039_168419650_lowres-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>27. New Orleans Saints (1-4)<\/h4>\n<p>The Saints host another home game versus an East Coast team as the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/patriots\/\" target=\"_self\">New England Patriots<\/a> head to town. If the crowd can stay in the game and the Saints keep it close going into the fourth quarter, they may be able to pull the upset.<\/p>\n<h4>26. Cleveland Browns(1-4)<\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/browns\/\" target=\"_self\">Browns<\/a> were a few defensive plays away from beating the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/vikings\/\" target=\"_self\">Vikings<\/a> in Week 5, but ultimately came up short. With the trade of Joe Flacco, there should be a Sanders sighting at quarterback in the near future.<\/p>\n<h4>25. Las Vegas Raiders (1-4)<\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/raiders\/\" target=\"_self\">Raiders<\/a> got rocked in Indianapolis in Week 5, but have a rebound game against the Tennessee Titans, who somehow found themselves in the win column in Week 5.<\/p>\n<h4>24. Arizona Cardinals (2-3)<\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/cardinals\/\" target=\"_self\">Cardinals<\/a> look like the Titans. Three straight games losing on GW field goals is terrible luck, but in reality, when you don\u2019t get your stars involved, it\u2019s hard to win games in the NFL.<\/p>\n<h4>23. Houston Texans (2-3)<\/h4>\n<p>The Texans put it on the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/ravens\/\" target=\"_self\">Ravens<\/a> in Week 5 in Baltimore. It seemed to me as some redemption for losing to the Ravens in <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/texans\/\" target=\"_self\">Houston<\/a> on Christmas Day last season. Stroud looked great; let\u2019s see if this team can carry this momentum into week 7 after their week 6 bye.<\/p>\n<h4>22. Cincinnati Bengals (2-3)<\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/bengals\/\" target=\"_self\">Bengals<\/a> finally made a move for a quarterback. Not positive it\u2019s going to turn into wins for Joe Flacco and company, but he\u2019s a veteran, and this cast of characters will be the best on offense he\u2019s ever played with.<\/p>\n<h4>21. Minnesota Vikings (3-2)<\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/vikings\/\" target=\"_self\">Vikings<\/a> snuck out a win against the Browns in week 5. An early bye week is just what this team needs.<\/p>\n<h4>20. Dallas Cowboys (2-2-1)<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/cowboys\/\" target=\"_self\">Dallas<\/a> beat down the Jets in New York, and that run game looked dominant. In Week 6, they travel to Carolina.<\/p>\n<h4>19. Baltimore Ravens (1-4)<\/h4>\n<p>The Ravens got embarrassed on their home field on Sunday. Week 6 brings the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/rams\/\" target=\"_self\">Rams<\/a>, who also got embarrassed in Week 5. We\u2019ll see who shows up in week 6.<\/p>\n<h4>18. Chicago Bears (2-2)<\/h4>\n<p>Coming off a bye, the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/bears\/\" target=\"_self\">Bears<\/a> get revenge in Week 6 in Washington, DC, against the team that beat them on a Hail Mary last season.<\/p>\n<h4>17. Washington Commanders (3-2)<\/h4>\n<p>Not sure who picked the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/washington-commanders\/\" target=\"_self\">Commanders<\/a> to win on Sunday, but man, were they impressive. The Bears roll into town for a Monday night matchup in Week 6.<\/p>\n<h4>16. Atlanta Falcons (2-2)<\/h4>\n<p>Coming off a bye week doesn\u2019t get much easier for the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/falcons\/\" target=\"_self\">Falcons<\/a> heading into Week 6. An angry <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/bills\/\" target=\"_self\">Buffalo<\/a> team is heading to town for a Monday night matchup.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-250129\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27209823_168419650_lowres-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27209823_168419650_lowres-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27209823_168419650_lowres-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27209823_168419650_lowres-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27209823_168419650_lowres-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27209823_168419650_lowres-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27209823_168419650_lowres-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27209823_168419650_lowres-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>15. Pittsburgh Steelers (3-1)<\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/steelers\/\" target=\"_self\">Steelers<\/a> get a divisional matchup at home against the Browns in Week 6. While they are well-rested, the Browns are traveling from overseas.<\/p>\n<h4>14. San Francisco 49ers (4-1)<\/h4>\n<p>While everyone counted this team out in Week 5, they showed the world that they don\u2019t care what you think. After pulling off the upset with an injury-depleted team, they head across the country to <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/buccaneers\/\" target=\"_self\">Tampa<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n<h4>13. Jacksonville Jaguars (4-1)<\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/jaguars\/\" target=\"_self\">Jags<\/a> followed up their huge win in Week 4 against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/49ers\/\" target=\"_self\">San Francisco<\/a> just to take out the Chiefs in Jacksonville a week later on Monday Night Football. Duval.<\/p>\n<h4>12. New England Patriots (3-2)<\/h4>\n<p>The Patriots are back! Huge win for Vrabel and company. Diggs looked like Prime Diggs, and Maye should be thrown into the MVP conversation.<\/p>\n<h4>11. Seattle Seahawks (3-2)<\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/seahawks\/\" target=\"_self\">Seahawks<\/a> lost a heartbreaker to the Bucs on Sunday. That defense needs to regroup for their matchup against the red-hot Jags in Jacksonville on Sunday.<\/p>\n<h4>10. Los Angeles Chargers (3-2)<\/h4>\n<p>The Chargers come off another loss, losing the last two games. After Week 3, the Chargers appeared to be a Super Bowl team, but they have since looked lost.<\/p>\n<h4>9. Kansas City Chiefs (2-3)<\/h4>\n<p>Andy Reid will get his team to rebound. Although unfamiliar territory for the Chiefs, being below 500 in the win column, don\u2019t be surprised if they get back on track against the dangerous Lions team in Week 6.<\/p>\n<h4>8. Green Bay Packers (2-1-1)<\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/packers\/\" target=\"_self\">Packers<\/a> had a whole week off to reflect on their stunning tie in Week 4 against the Cowboys. Joe Flacco and the Bengals come to town in Week 6, desperately looking for a win.<\/p>\n<h4>7. Indianapolis Colts (4-1)<\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/colts\/\" target=\"_self\">Colts<\/a> ran over the Raiders on Sunday, 40-6. The Cardinals march into town, coming off an embarrassing loss. If Kylers is healthy enough to play, I think they keep it close.<\/p>\n<h4>6. Philadelphia Eagles(4-1)<\/h4>\n<p>I said it last week, I am not sold on the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/eagles\/\" target=\"_self\">Eagles<\/a>\u2019 record or offensive play. Barkley is now on the injury report with a sore knee, and AJB looks more and more frustrated each week.<\/p>\n<h4>5. LA Rams (3-2)<\/h4>\n<p>LA travels across the country to face the lousy Ravens in Week 6. It could be a trap game for LA if they don\u2019t come prepared.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-250130\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27254876_168419650_lowres-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27254876_168419650_lowres-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27254876_168419650_lowres-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27254876_168419650_lowres-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27254876_168419650_lowres-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27254876_168419650_lowres-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27254876_168419650_lowres-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/USATSI_27254876_168419650_lowres-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>4.
