After a doubleheader last week on Monday Night Football (MNF), this week we return to the traditional single game in MNF’s prime-time slot. MNF is all set to bring us the last game of this week, after which the attention will turn to week 6.

Who’s playing on Monday Night Football?

Monday Night Football for week 5 brings us the Patrick Mahomes-led Kansas City Chiefs up against the Jacksonville Jaguars of Trevor Lawrence and company.

The Chiefs come into this matchup having won their previous two games against the Ravens and the Giants for a 2-2 overall record. The defense has continued to show stability, but it is the offense that has clicked in the past couple of games.

As for the Jaguars, Trevor Lawrence hasn’t gotten off to the best of starts, but even then, they are 3-1 with an impressive win over the San Francisco 49ers last week. Travis Etienne has kept the offense flowing, while the defense has done a great job in containing the opposition for the most part.

Week 5 Monday Night Football Result Prediction

The Jaguars are off to one of their better starts in recent years with a 3-1 record. But two of their wins have come against the Panthers and the Texans, both teams that have struggled initially. Their win against the 49ers was commendable, but it is worth noting that San Francisco is hit with the injury bug.

That said, Travis Etienne has been the spark on offense for the Jaguars, and the defense has also held it together very well to date. However, the past couple of weeks have been promising for the Chiefs and their offense. Kansas City’s dominant win against the Ravens last week is one to take note of.

Week 5 MNF Kick-Off Time: 8:15 PM ET
Location: EverBank Stadium, Jacksonville, Florida.

Our Prediction: Kansas City Chiefs to win.
