Five must watch games of Week 6 in the NFL
As we do every week, we scour the markets, study last week’s plays, and find our “must” watch games for Week 6 in the NFL below.
By the end of this week, the NFL regular season will be one-third complete, with 93 games and six weeks played. The Kansas City Chiefs, the current Super Bowl champions, will kick off the week by hosting the Denver team, against whom they have had a long winning streak. On Monday, the third London game of the season will begin early in the day, with the Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens facing off before the Cincinnati and Seattle game starts. In the late window, there are several games to watch, including the Tampa Bay-Detroit game, which could be a disaster. To end the day, Buffalo will play against the Giants.
Browns vs 49ers
Deshaun Watson’s absence from outdoor practice on Monday puts the Cleveland Browns in a quarterback dilemma for their upcoming game against the San Francisco 49ers. Though Watson did some throwing inside, he may still not be able to play. If that happens, the Browns will turn to P.J. Walker instead of Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Walker’s experience, having started seven games for the Panthers in the NFL, gives the Browns a better chance to win. Given the offensive line’s struggles, his mobility will be crucial against the strong 49ers defense.
Jets vs Eagles
The 5-0 Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Rams 23-14 in their last game. Jalen Hurts led the Eagles with 303 yards passing and 72 yards rushing. The Jets, with a record of 2-3, won 31-21 against the Broncos. Zach Wilson threw for 199 yards with a 78.8 quarterback rating. Breece Hall ran for 177 yards, and Tyler Conklin caught 4 passes for 67 yards for the Jets.
Broncos vs Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs are favored to win their upcoming football game against the Denver Broncos due to their solid offensive abilities, led by the exceptional quarterback Patrick Mahomes. However, the status of their star tight end, Travis Kelce, is uncertain due to an ankle injury. Although Kelce’s absence could be a significant blow to the Chiefs, they can still win. The match promises to be an exciting one, with both teams fighting hard to secure a win. While the Chiefs are the clear favorites, the Broncos will be looking to cause an upset and turn their season around.
Bills vs Giants
The New York Giants and the Buffalo Bills will face each other in an upcoming NFL game at Bills Stadium. The Giants have a 1-4 record, losing their previous match against the Dolphins. Meanwhile, with a 3-2 record, the Bills lost their most recent game against the Jaguars in London.
The Giants had a rough start to the season, losing their opening game against the Cowboys 40-0. They won their next game against the Cardinals but lost the following two games against the 49ers and the Seahawks. In their most recent game against the Dolphins, the Giants lost 31-16.
The Bills lost their opening game to the Jets but won three straight games against the Raiders, the Commanders, and the Dolphins. They lost their most recent game against the Jaguars in London by 25-20. QB Josh Allen had 359 yards with two touchdowns and a pick in the Bills’ most recent game, while Stefon Diggs had eight catches for 121 yards and a score.
Dolphins vs Panthers
The winless Carolina Panthers face the Miami Dolphins this Sunday. Miami has the most explosive offense in the NFL, averaging 36.3 points per game. Even without their 70-point win over the Denver Broncos, they would still rank sixth at 27.7 points per game. The Panthers have struggled to score, averaging only 21 points per game, putting them in 27th position in the league.
