### NFL Week 5 Bold Predictions: Steelers Dominate Cowboys; Rodgers and Darnold Shine

As NFL Week 5 approaches, analysts from the NFL Network have unveiled their bold predictions for an action-packed slate of games. Fresh from their first loss of the season, the Pittsburgh Steelers are set to host a depleted Dallas Cowboys team, missing key defensive stars Micah Parsons and Demarcus Lawrence due to injuries. The Steelers, renowned for their top 10 rushing offense, are expected to exploit the Cowboys' faltering run defense, ranked 26th in the league. Predictions point toward Pittsburgh becoming the second team this season to rush for over 200 yards against Dallas, with Najee Harris and Justin Fields both potentially surpassing 100-yard rush marks.

Meanwhile, Geno Smith has been quietly excelling this season, albeit with a lower touchdown pass rate compared to his previous seasons with the Seahawks. Analysts anticipate a positive regression, forecasting Smith to connect for four touchdown passes against the Giants.

In London, a marquee matchup is set between Aaron Rodgers and Sam Darnold. The last time the two quarterbacks faced off as starters was in 2018, which resulted in a high-scoring game with seven combined touchdowns. This week, expectations are high for another offensive explosion, with Rodgers and Darnold predicted to once again combine for seven touchdowns, and Darnold’s Vikings edging out Rodgers' team to maintain their undefeated status at 5-0.

Jordan Love has revitalized the Packers' passing game since his return, and the upcoming clash against the Los Angeles Rams’ struggling secondary provides a ripe opportunity. Love, on a streak of multiple passing touchdowns in eight consecutive games, is predicted to throw for four more scores against the Rams.

Lamar Jackson holds an impressive record against the Bengals, averaging 76.7 rushing yards per game, the highest among quarterbacks against any team (minimum six games). Teaming up with Derrick Henry, who has racked up 350 rushing yards in his last two outings, Jackson and the Ravens' ground attack are expected to amass over 250 rushing yards against Cincinnati's 28th-ranked defensive rushing efficiency.

Lastly, the much-anticipated game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London sees Aaron Rodgers looking to earn his first international win. Up against Brian Flores, Rodgers is predicted to have the upper hand in this strategic showdown, throwing four touchdown passes to propel his team to victory.

From London showdowns to high-stakes domestic clashes, Week 5 of the NFL promises thrilling football action and standout performances across the board.
