Full NFL predictions, picks for entire Week 5 slate

The Post’s Erich Richter makes his picks and predictions for Week 5 of the NFL season.It’s the Derrick Henry show in CincinnatiThe Bengals did get right against Carolina, but their defense is still struggling.Baltimore is 7-3 against Cincinnati since 2019, including back-to-back victories.
