The L.A. Rams have already played their Week 5 game, making Sunday a little less exciting for fans. But the NFL never sleeps, right? We watch whether our teams are on or not…unless it’s some boring primetime game between the Giants and Bears maybe.
The Rams may have already played but that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything at stake on Sunday. What games are you looking forward to and which teams will you be rooting against? Let us know in the comments.
First, here’s a quick preview of some rooting
interests:
Falcons (BYE)
There is no Falcons game this week. That means waiting another week to find out how good L.A.’s 2026 first round pick from Atlanta will be.
Titans at Cardinals
Will Arizona improve to 3-2 and match records with the Rams? If they can’t beat the Titans, the Rams may not have anything to worry about. Tennessee has lost 10 straight games and Brian Callahan may not have much life left.
Bucs at Seahawks
The other NFC West game on Sunday. If Seattle wins, they’ll match the 49ers at 4-1. If they lose, they’ll drop down to 3-2. The Bucs are also 3-1. Who is the better quarterback right now: Baker Mayfield or Sam Darnold?
Vikings at Browns
Did you get up at 6:30 to watch the game? Talk about it! You may be the early bird.
Dolphins at Panthers
Considered to be two of the worst teams in the league, this could have implications for the top of the 2026 draft. Both teams are 1-3. Who would you rather have: Bryce Young or Tua Tagovailoa? And yes, you have to choose one.
Raiders at Colts
Will Indy rebound from their loss to the Rams?
Giants at Saints
The Saints are the only winless team in the NFC. The only two other winless teams are the Titans and Jets. Who do you think has the best chance at the number one pick in 2026? If the Saints lose this one, they’ll be a strong contender and could start selling off pieces.
Cowboys at Jets
New York is also 0-4 but how good are the Cowboys?
Broncos at Eagles
This is one with an obvious rooting interest for Rams fans: Root for the Eagles to lose. L.A. needs every advantage it can get in the NFC.
Texans at Ravens
The Rams play the Ravens next Sunday. Lamar Jackson hasn’t been ruled out for Week 6, but that would be a surprise. He’s ruled out for Week 5. Who are you rooting for in this game?
Lions at Bengals
Jared Goff against Jake Browning. Could Zac Taylor get fired this season or will a loyal owner forgive another lost season because of injuries? You’ll want to root against Goff.
Commanders at Chargers
Probably root for the other L.A. team here. Don’t know if the Commanders could be in contention for a wild card spot against the Rams.
Patriots at Bills (SNF)
Drake Maye has quickly become the best quarterback in the 2024 draft and a rising superstar. A win over Josh Allen in primetime would be huge for his resume.
