Week 5's edition of Thursday Night Football features an NFC South showdown between the two favorites to win the division – the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Atlanta Falcons. Both teams have a record of .500 or better a month into the season, and a win here would dictate first place in the division for now.

Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is playing at an elite level. Even without Dave Canales, the Bucs offense hasn’t caught a break. Rookie running back Bucky Irving is developing into one of the most explosive young backs in the NFL. Mike Evans and Chris Godwin continue to be top players with a one-two punch at receiver, and even the defense is playing better than expected.

Even though Atlanta's expectations were not met before the season, the team made a better impression than in previous years. Quarterback Kirk Cousins ​​has had great moments, like his incredible comeback in Week 2 against Philadelphia. However, all in all, this team has yet to get a big win that really impressed fans.

Here are our experts' predictions for Thursday Night Football.

Lorenzo Reyes: Buccaneers 23, Falcons 17

This is a tricky game, a division game between two teams that can be quite volatile. I think it comes down to quarterback play, and honestly, I trust Baker Mayfield more right now than Kirk Cousins, whose offense is still a bit slow and deliberate. The Falcons could also do a much better job of getting their playmakers more involved.

Tyler Dragon: Falcons 24, Buccaneers 21

The Bucs have been a pleasant surprise this year with three impressive wins against the Commanders, Lions and Eagles. Wide receiver Chris Godwin ranks in the top 10 in catches, receiving yards and TDs. But the Falcons have a good pass defense and a talented offense where the chemistry is starting to click. I think these two NFC South rivals will split the season.

Jordan Mendoza: Buccaneers 20, Falcons 18

Tampa Bay has looked good for the most part this season, coming off a big win against the Eagles. It continues the momentum and strengthens its lead in the NFC South.
