Thursday Night Football Recap: The Giants, similarly to the Colts, arent very good. Eli Manning’s time may truely be up. He is easily the worst starter in the NFL right now.
Week 6 doesnt have the plethora of quality matchups that previous weeks have had but week 6 still has its share of good games.
WEEK 6 LOCKS:
Bears over Dolphins: Im not quite as high on da Bears as others, but they have been impressive. Miami, weve learned likes to fold under any sort of spotlight. This lock makes me nervous but ill take it.
Seahawks over Raiders: Oakland under Jon Gruden has been a disaster thus far, their defense is weak, and they are offensively lackluster. The same could be said about the Seahawks, just to a slightly lesser degree, Seahawks win.
Vikings over Cardinals: This pick also makes me nervous. Kirk Cousins has always been an accident waiting to happen, and Minnesota has been up and down so far this year. After the impressive win over the champs last week, im convinced the Vikings are back on track.
Jaguars over Cowboys: Dallas has made it out of the snoozer! Because of Jacksonville certainly beating them though. This game is a total mismatch, Dallas is last in nearly every offensive statistic, while the Jaguars are first in nearly every defensive category. This will be ugly.
WEEK 6 UPSET:
Broncos over Rams: The Rams have appeared weaker over the last two weeks, barely surviving a contest with mediocre Seattle, now a second road game in Mile High against a very good running team, with a fairly weak running defense. I think the Broncos will hand Los Angeles their first loss of the fall.
WEEK 6 BEST MATCHUPS:
Ravens at Titans: The Titans arent particularly fun to watch, however both teams need this win badly. A win for Baltimore would mean finishing a 3 game road trip 2-1, staying pace with the Bengals in the AFC North, and only having 3 more road games left this year. Meanwhile, Tennessee needs this win to stay alive in their own division as well. I think the Ravens defense is superior to Tennessee’s, and their offense is due to rebound after what happened last week.
Chargers at Browns: Who would have ever thought this matchup would be a quality AFC week 6 game? Cleveland is inspired by their new quarterback, no question, however i cant completly put my faith in the Browns yet. I trust Phillip Rivers more than a young and still inexperienced Baker Mayfield. Chargers win a cloooseee one.
Chiefs at Patriots: This is pretty clearly week 6’s premier matchup. The Chiefs come flying in at 5-0 after embarrassing the Jaguars last week. The Patriots, meanwhile, come in starting to look like the Pats we all know and envy, scoring 38 points in each of their last 2 games. I cant bet against New England in this spot however a win for KC may be a real changing of the guard in the AFC.
WEEK 6 SNOOZER:
49ers at Packers: Aaron Rodgers is part of a snoozer game in the NFL, wow. The Jimmyless Niners just dont have the shine they had coming into the year. Greenbay has no issue at quarterback however just does not have the roster needed to be a Superbowl contender this year. I wont rag on the NFL for this being primetime, like i do with all 54 Cowboys primetime games each season. This matchup looked good before the season started, things just havnt worked out for either team.
