    NFL Week 5 Preview: Predictions, Locks, Lamar Jackson Injury & QB Debates

    NFL Week 5 is here, and JD and Lady M are breaking down every game on the schedule on the Sports Media X Podcast. The show opens with Headlines and Horrible Dad Jokes, including Lamar Jackson's ankle injury and uncertain status against Atlanta, Saquon Barkley's hamstring injury, Jayden Daniels nearing a return for Washington, and Tampa Bay sticking with rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels while Baker Mayfield remains sidelined. Then it's time for Loser Locks after an unusual Week 4. JD and Lady M each went 4-0 on their individually selected Sunday games, but both missed the Lions-Panthers and Saints-Falcons primetime games. From there, it's the complete NFL Week 5 preview with every matchup from Buccaneers-Cowboys on Thursday night through Bills-Rams on Monday Night Football. JD also explains why the Cardinals shouldn't rush Carson Beck onto the field. With Arizona facing a difficult stretch of its schedule, could Week 12 be the earliest reasonable starting point—or would waiting until after the bye give Beck an even better opportunity to succeed? Then JD and Lady M make their Pick-6 Locks of the Week. JD enters at 16-8 while Lady M looks to climb back toward .500 from 11-13. The show finishes with QB Win or Loss, where the quarterback stat line is revealed—but the result isn't. Can you determine whether the team won or lost without relying on the QB win-loss stat? NFL news, predictions, debates and plenty of bad dad jokes. It's Tuesday on the Sports Media X Podcast.
