- BUF: looking to avoid 2 game deficit in wildcard race w/ matchup vs Seattle in wk 5

- all expected to win, TEN/NE/CIN in position to push for multiple game lead over other potential wildcard teams
Falcons (4-1) vs Saints (1-4)
- ATL: 5-1 start would be significant as the only teams under .500 left on their schedule are TB & NO
- NO: tough schedule to this point, opportunity to get back to .500 with ATL/CAR/SF in their next three
Cardinals (3-2) vs 49ers (1-4)
- ARI: need to stack wins over the next two weeks before getting ATL/SEA/NE/TB in weeks 6-9
- SF: will have a good opportunity to get back to .500 if they can at least split the next two weeks with ARI/NE
Eagles (3-2) vs Commanders (2-3)
- NFC East looks like previous years' AFC West, won't have a top seeded team but 3 competitive teams in the division race // H2H wins will be huge & Philly has an opportunity to go 2-0 vs Washington this season
