Through the first five weeks of the National Football League season, there are plenty of unanswered questions. Who is going to be the last undefeated team, which will certainly capture the undivided attention of Mercury Morris and the 1972 Miami Dolphins?

On the flip side, which teams are going to continue forcing themselves toward the top overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft? The Detroit Lions are the only team without a win, something most people would not have guessed before the season began. Most would have had their money on a team like the Tennessee Titans or Washington Redskins, but those teams are anything but awful early on.

Then there are the two teams that look like Super Bowl opponents on a collision course. The New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers look like the two best teams in football, and should they both get home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, good luck beating them. New England and Green Bay also are favored by the highest spreads of the week, even with the Patriots being on the road against the Indianapolis Colts.

Here are the Week 6 NFL picks by our experts, against the spread:

While everybody believes the Seattle Seahawks will beat the Carolina Panthers, nobody sees it being a complete blowout. The same can be said with the Washington Redskins and New York Jets.

Enjoy the games!
