Welcome NFL Sunday week 5 action which for the next 15 hours we’ll be watching nothing but pigskin if you’re not a fan of the MLB. Due to the game 2 of the Detroit Tiger and Oakland Athletics playoff game tomorrow afternoon, the San Diego Chargers will play the Oakland Raiders at an 8:35pm local start time (11:35pm ET) which the game could potentially last until 3:00am ET.
Week 5 began Thursday night as we watched an injury-prone game from both the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills where they had to rely on reserved quarterbacks to win the game. Today’s action will feature arguably the biggest collection of match-ups from top to bottom we’ve seen in quite some time. As usual, our top 5 games to peep today are filled with NFC match-ups, but we have some very important inter-conference meetings.
If you’re wondering why we have Peyton Manning featured as the main lead-in image for action today and not in our top games to watch this week since he’s playing the Dallas Cowboys; you shouldn’t even have to ask yourselves that question if you’ve seen the Denver Broncos play this year. Check after the jump for our rundown of what to watch this week, then picks for each game.
