Flea Flicker Week 6 Predictions

Is it really an NFL Sunday when the Minnesota Vikings aren’t playing. Week 6 is a bit early for a bye but the Vikings have a few injured players that can use a week off to get healthy. Anyway, here are some guesses at the Week 6 games.

Byes: Minnesota Vikings, Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions, Miami Dolphins

Houston Texans @ Jacksonville Jaguars

Pick: Texans

A battle between AFC South foes. The Jaguars have had a real nice start to the season. The Texans have not. The matchup is also part of the NFL’s idiotic international series as the game will be played at Wembley. The Jaguars have the added benefit of having been in London for a second consecutive week. All of these international games present jacked-up logistics and that’s an added disadvantage for the Texans. So, I’m more hoping that the Texans win rather than thinking that they win. 

Chicago Bears @ Atlanta Falcons

Pick: Falcons

The Falcons rebound from the disappointing Sunday Night loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Baltimore Ravens @ Cleveland Browns

Pick: Ravens

The battle between the “old” Browns vs the “new” Browns.

Tennessee Titans @ Indianapolis Colts

Pick: Colts

The Colts should handle the winless Titans.

New York Jets @ New England Patriots

Pick: Patriots

The Jets have caused problems for teams this season. The Patriots should handle the pesky team.

New Orleans Saints @ New York Giants

Pick: Saints

The Saints rebound from being stifled by the Vikings. The Giants move a step closer to J.J. McCarthy starting. 

Carolina Panthers @ Philadelphia Eagles

Pick: Panthers

The Panthers handle the unpredictable Eagles.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Pick: Buccaneers

The Steelers have yet to win on the road. The Buccaneers have yet to win at home. I should pick a tie. 

Arizona Cardinals @ Los Angeles Rams

Pick: Rams

The Rams have “lost” two games the past three weeks they should’ve won. This feels like a “get right” game for them.

Los Angeles Chargers @ Kansas City Chiefs

Pick: Chargers

This Chargers team simply can’t keep losing. The Chiefs probably aren’t the best opponent for a team desperate for a win. 

Buffalo Bills @ Las Vegas Raiders

Pick: Bills

Just a couple weeks ago, the Raiders were the darlings of the league. The Bills roll. 

Dallas Cowboys @ Green Bay Packers

Pick: Packers

Rematch of the Ice Bowl. It shouldn’t be as cold this time. 

Washington Commanders @ San Francisco 49ers

Pick: 49ers

The 49ers should become the league’s first 6-0 team.
