NFL – Gameweek 6 Preview – With four teams on a bye this week ( Bills, Bengals, Cowboys and Seahawks), here are my week 6 predictions:
Thursday Night
Eagles at Panthers
Both teams are 4-1 and are off to good starts to the year! QB Cam Newton is playing at a high level and will be tested by the Eagles defensive front 7. Eagles QB Carson Wentz had a big game last week, and I am expecting another good performance. In the end I see the Panthers taking it late.
Panthers To Win – 27-21
Newton: 300 YDS, 3 TDs
Benjamin: 88 YDS, 1 TD
Sunday Games
Dolphins at Falcons
Miami’s offensive line has been terrible to start the season, and with the Falcons coming off their bye week rested, I am expecting the Dolphins to continue to struggle on offense. Their defense has played well but will tire against the explosive Falcons offense.
Falcons To Win – 27-10
Ryan: 315 YDS, 3 TDs
Jones: 100 YDS Rec, 1 TD
Freeman: 115 Total YDS, 2 TDs
Bears at Ravens
Rookie QB Mitch Trubisky will be in his first road game against the aggressive Ravens defense. Flacco and the Ravens offense showed some life last week and will look to continue.
Ravens To Win – 21 -13
Flacco: 225 YDS, 2 TDs
Ravens Defense: 1 TD

Browns at Texans
The Texans Defensive injuries will be a concern moving forward specifically with losing JJ Watt for the rest of the season. Rookie QB Deshaun Watson has been consistently good the past 3 weeks, and will continue this week.
Texans To Win – 30 – 17
Watson: 300 YDS, 3 TDS
Hopkins: 115 YDS, 1 TD
Miller: 90 YDS rushing, 2 TDs
Packers at Vikings
Division rivalry between two teams with injuries, however the Vikings are without their starting QB, and RB. Packers offensive line is getting healthy, on back to back road games similar to last week I see Aaron Rodgers pulling a win out late in this one.
Packers To Win – 24-20
Rodgers: 288 YDS, 2 TDs
Jones: 100 YDS rushing , 1 TD
Adams & Nelson: 1 TD each
Lions at Saints
Lions lost a tough game last week against the Panthers, meanwhile the Saints are coming off their bye week with an improving defense. While the trade of Adrian Peterson will help stabilise their running game, the Lions will challenge that Saints secondary. Expect a good game here!
Saints To Win – 28 – 24
Brees: 315 YDS , 3 TDs
Ingraham: 100 Total YDS, 1 Rushing TD
Thomas: 100 YDS Rec, 1 TD

49ers at Redskins
The 0-5 49ers in their third straight road game, against Washington who is coming off a bye week are all things that will be tough to overcome for the 49ers.
Redskins To Win – 31 -10
Cousins: 275 YDS, 3 TDS
Pryor: 110 YDS, 1 TD
Buccaneers at Cardinals
Tampa lost to the Patriots last Thursday, meanwhile the Cardinals aren’t looking as good as expected. I see the Bucks offense getting the ball going.
Tampa To Win – 28 -17
Winston: 275 YDS, 2 TDs
Evans: 88 YDS, 1 TD
Martin: 100 Total YDS, 1 Rushing TD
Rams at Jaguars
Both teams are up and coming with both looking impressive at 3-2. The Rams lost a physical game against the Seahawks last week and have a long cross country trip for this week. The Jags defense has looked good, but their run defense will be tested this week against the top 5 offensive line in the Rams.
Rams To Win – 20-14
Goff: 215 YDS, 1 TD
Gurley: 145 YDS Total, 2 TDs Rushing
{ad}
Steelers at Chiefs
The undefeated Chiefs are confident and riding high while the Struggling Steelers are looking to get back on track. No way the Steelers offense will look as bad as last week, but in a close game I see the Chiefs winning late. Key injury to watch is pro bowl TE Travis Kelce for the Chiefs if he cannot play that is a big loss.
Kansas City To Win – 23-21
Smith: 300 YDS, 2 TDS
Hunt: 110 Total YDS, 1 TD Rushing, 1 TD REC
Giants at Broncos
The Giants lost 3 WRs to injury last week including their star Odell Beckham for the season. Broncos are coming off their bye week and this is a primetime game for that defense. I don’t see this ending well for the Giants!
Broncos To Win – 27 – 13
Broncos Defense: 2 TDS
Anderson: 115 Total YDS, 2 TDs
