The Green Bay Packers (4-1) travel to Chicago to face the Bears (3-2) on Sunday as well and this old rivalry has been dominated by the Packers in recent years. The Bears do lead the NFL with 18 QB sacks through the first five games and if they can get consistent pressure on Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers, there could be an upset in this one. Bears rookie QB Justin Fields will be ready to go again this weekend and has shown improvement each week since taking over for the injured Andy Dalton three weeks ago.
The Baltimore Ravens (4-1), fresh off their huge comeback win last Monday night, will host the surging Los Angeles Chargers, who also have a 4-1 record. Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson has been putting up MVP type numbers in the first five weeks. The same can be said of Chargers QB Justin Herbert, who had a huge game last Sunday in the win over the Cleveland Browns. Light up the scoreboard.
The big question in Week Six is will the Arizona Cardinals (5-0) suffer their first loss this season? They play on the road against the Cleveland Browns (3-2), who lost a high scoring game to the Chargers last week. The Cardinals have been balanced on both sides of the football and QB Kyler Murray will face a rugged Browns defense that likes to get after the quarterback. The Browns have a strong running game and that could be a big factor in keeping Murray and the offense off the field. Browns RB Nick Chubb is likely out for the game with a calf injury, but Kareem Hunt is a more than ample backup to keep the yardage piling up. This one should go down to the wire.
The Monday night game will see the Buffalo Bills (4-1) traveling to face the Tennessee Titans (3-2) in what should be a hard hitting affair. The Bills defense is solid and if they can contain running back Derrick Henry, the leading rusher in the NFL with 640 yards, they could be in business to run their win streak to five games. The Titans usually play well at home, so the Buffalo offense will be looking to continue their success.
The rest of the action is featured in the capsule style format and then the Heftyinfo picks for Week Six follow up.
Kansas City (2-3) at Washington (2-3) - Who would have thought the Chiefs would have the same record as Washington entering Week Six? Chiefs should prevail in this one.
L.A. Rams (4-1) at N.Y. Giants (1-4) - The Rams should steamroll the Giants, but then again, the game is played on the field.
Houston (1-4) at Indianapolis (1-4) - The Colts had better get back in form in this one after coughing up a 19-point second half lead in last week's disappointing loss on Monday night.
Cincinnati (3-2) at Detroit (0-5) - One of these days, the Lions are going to hold on and win a game in the final minutes. The Bengals have been roaring through the first five games.
Minnesota (2-3) at Carolina (3-2) - The Vikings match up well against this team, plus the Panthers have leveled off big time after a 3-0 start.
Las Vegas (3-2) at Denver (3-2) - It is said what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. But not when it comes to Jon Gruden. What a mess for the Raiders. The Broncos defense is solid and this one should go down to the wire.
Dallas (4-1) at New England (2-3) - The Cowboys have been rolling while the Patriots struggled to beat the lowly Texans last week.
Seattle (2-3) at Pittsburgh (2-3) - Two banged up teams going at it on Sunday night. Toss up.
