Game of the week
----------------
It’s an exceptionally long trip for the Buccaneers – almost 2,200 air miles – and a matchup of quarterbacks chosen No. 1 and No. 3 in 2018. Baker Mayfield – now with the Bucs – was drafted by the Cleveland Browns, and Sam Darnold – now with the Seahawks – was drafted by the New York Jets. Both teams sit at 3-1, but while the Buccaneers play in a bad NFC South, the Seahawks are in the competitive NFC West, which makes defending their home turf that much more important. The 12th man in Seattle provides a great home-field advantage, but the Buccaneers increasingly feel like a team that should be taken seriously in the NFC race. **Buccaneers, 24-20.**
Lock of the week
----------------
**Kansas City at Jacksonville**
Don’t look now, but the Chiefs are back. Their stomping of the Baltimore Ravens last week at home could be just the type of confidence booster Kansas City needed to send a message to the rest of the AFC that the conference still goes through Arrowhead Stadium. The Jaguars are coming off an impressive road win and have exceeded expectations in Liam Coen’s first season, but they’re not ready for this stage. **Chiefs, 29-17.**
Upset of the week
-----------------
**New York Giants at New Orleans**
The Jaxson Dart era started off on a positive note for Giants coach Brian Daboll, with an impressive home win against the Los Angeles Chargers. Now, Dart gets his first road start against a lively Saints team that gave the Buffalo Bills plenty of problems in Week 4. A close, low-scoring game would not be a surprise, but we’ll take Dart to build on his promising start. **Giants, 20-19.**
