Ranking NFL Week 6 Games: Most Watchable to Least

1. Cowboys/Packers (-1) – Sunday, Oct. 18 8:15 p.m.

I’m expecting points galore on Sunday Night between these two longtime rivals. The winner will feel good about its standing in the NFC playoff picture.

2. Seahawks (-3)/Broncos – Thursday, Oct. 15 8:15 p.m.

The Broncos offense has been borderline unwatchable, but the Seahawks can’t run it at all right now. Something has to give.

3. Texans/Jaguars (-2.5) – Sunday, Oct. 18 9:30 a.m.

You get the feeling the winner of this game will have huge momentum. The 4-1 Jags can bury the 1-4 Texans with a win, while Houston can get back in the division race with a win.

4. Panthers/Eagles (-1) – Sunday, Oct. 18 1 p.m.

Can the Eagles get off the mat following the last two brutal losses? Carolina is extra rested coming off the bye.

5. Bears (-3)/Falcons – Sunday, Oct. 18 1 p.m.

I’m expecting Caleb Williams back at QB for the Bears and a lot of points. The Bears can’t stop the run; bad news going up against Bijan Robinson.

6. Jets/Patriots (-7) – Sunday, Oct. 18 1 p.m.

While everyone is (correctly) going ga-ga over Drake Maye’s recent performances, I’ll be watching the Patriots offensive line to see if it holds up against a surging Jets pass rush keyed by rookie star David Bailey.

7. Chargers/Chiefs (-8) – Sunday, Oct. 18 4:25 p.m.

If the Chiefs win this game, which I expect, will the Chargers make big coaching changes heading into their bye?

8. Commanders/49ers – Monday, Oct. 19 8:15 p.m.

We’ll see if the Commies are in the tank following last Sunday’s cluster-you-know-what against the Giants. The Niners can improve to 6-0 with a win.

9. Bills (-5)/Raiders – Sunday, Oct. 18 4:25 p.m.

The Bills are expected to win by a margin, but are we sure their defense can stop Brock Bowers and the Raiders’ offense?

10. Steelers (-2.5)/Bucs – Sunday, Oct. 18 1 p.m.

Undrafted rookie QB Jalon Daniels got the Bucs back in the NFC South race with a win last week in Dallas. He’ll face stiffer competition this week with the Steelers defense.

11. Cardinals/Rams (-12.5) – Sunday, Oct. 18 4:05 p.m.

The Rams need to not only win, but win big to get the vibes back high in that locker room.

12. Saints (-1)/Giants – Sunday, Oct. 18 1 p.m.

Both these teams could win their divisions, which says more about the divisions than it does about the teams.

13. Ravens (-4.5)/Browns – Sunday, Oct. 18 1 p.m.

I have been so impressed with Baltimore’s new coaching staff. If they can win this game on the road without Lamar Jackson (assuming he does not play), it will be a major coup.

14. Titans/Colts (-7) – Sunday, Oct. 18 1 p.m.

I’ll be tuned in just to see how bad it can get for the 0-5 Titans.
