# Tyler Sullivan: Sullivan projects final scores for every Week 5 game, including the Steelers beating the rest-disadvantaged Colts, the Jaguars routing a banged-up Eagles team in London, and the Bears winning at Lambeau. **Claimed:** Oct 7, 2026 **Pundit:** Tyler Sullivan — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/tyler-sullivan **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-5-picks-predictions-bets-jaguars-eagles-2026/ 15 checkable claims — 15 score predictions — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 15 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 15 have settled, averaging 63.7 out of 100, against 45.8 for a naive guess at the same calls. > The Jags are too hot to fade at the moment, and face an Eagles team that feels like they are about to roll over. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Los Angeles Rams 28 — Bills 24** - Kind: Score Predictions · About: Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: scored 47.62 out of 100, against 43.52 for a naive guess - Line: Closing line (Oct 12, 2026): Rams by 3.5, total 55.5 · this 28–24 calls a bigger Rams win (by 4) and fewer points (52).
