Jackson has passed for 1,206 yards with nine touchdowns and only one interception while rushing for 363 yards and two scores. Along with Jackson is Derrick Henry (572 rushing yards, six TD) and the vaunted running attack. The defense has been down so far this season for Baltimore, so look for a possible high scoring game. The Commanders are averaging 31 points per game while the Ravens score 29.4 PPG this season. The defense for Washington has been improving after giving up a bunch of points the first three games, allowing just 27 points combined in the last two games.
In Dallas, the Cowboys (3-2) will be hosting the Detroit Lions (3-1) and their high powered offense, led by QB Jared Goff and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. The Lions are averaging 26 PPG while allowing 20.5 PPG so far. The Cowboys beat the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road last Sunday night and QB Dak Prescott was clutch in the final seconds, throwing the game winning TD pass with just 20 seconds remaining.
The Cowboys are scoring just 24 points per game while their defense has allowed 121 points (24.2 PPG) so they are used to close games and this one will likely be just that. The Lions defense has been solid and defensive end Aidan Hutchinson has 6 1/2 sacks. The Cowboys have been beat up on defense, so the Lions rate a slight edge as they look to get the road victory.
Over in London, England this Sunday, the Chicago Bears (3-2) take on the Jacksonville Jaguars (1-4), who will be playing back-to-back games across the pond. The Jags always play in London while the Bears haven't made the trip overseas in quite some time. Rookie QB Caleb Williams is coming off his best game for the Bears so far (two TD passes and 304 yards in a 36-10 trouncing of Carolina) and could put up some impressive numbers again this week as the Jaguars defense has been suspect through five games.
The Jaguars finally got a win last week against Indianapolis and QB Trevor Lawrence has passed for 1,100 yards and six touchdowns along with two interceptions this season. This one could be close and a late field goal could be the difference in the final score.
The rest of the NFL action for Week Six follows up in the capsule style format and the Heftyinfo picks as well.
Arizona (2-3) at Green Bay (3-2) - This game should be high scoring and the Packers should prevail.
Indianapolis (2-3) at Tennessee (1-3) - The Colts are banged up on both sides of the football and have to face a Titans team coming off the bye and a win.
Houston (4-1) at New England (1-4) - Will Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye get it done? The Texans will be without top wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring injury) but should do enough to get the win.
Tampa Bay (3-2) at New Orleans (2-3) - What a week for the Buccaneers following Hurricane Milton in Florida. A win in The Big Easy would be welcome for sure. The Saints will be without QB Derek Carr (oblique injury) so that will be a factor.
Cleveland (1-4) at Philadelphia (2-2) - Two under achieving teams go at it in this one. Eagles have a better offense, but have been hampered by injuries.
Los Angeles Chargers (2-2) at Denver (3-2) - Can the Broncos keep the good vibes going against the Chargers? It's a good possibility, but if L.A. quarterback Justin Herbert is close to full health, then it could be a different outcome.
Pittsburgh (3-2) at Las Vegas (2-3) - This game lacks the sizzle it had so many times in the past. Steelers should get the win against a Raiders team that has a lot of question marks.
Atlanta (3-2) at Carolina (1-4) - Which Falcons team will show up this week?
Cincinnati (1-4) at N.Y. Giants (2-3) - This is the Sunday night game in prime time? Perhaps Bengals QB Joe Burrow (five TD passes in defeat last week) will light it up again with his team getting a win this time around.
Buffalo (3-2) at N.Y. Jets (2-3) - The Jets have a new (interim) head coach, but will it make a difference against a Bills team trying to snap a two-game skid? The Monday night game should be a good one between these AFC East rivals.
