Here are Don Banks of Sports Illustrated’s picks for Week 6 of the NFL season.

Every week, Don Banks of Sports Illustrated and ScoreBig team up to make their picks for the NFL season.

Banks is a pretty healthy 48-29 this season and went 9-5 last week, let’s see if he can keep it up in Week 6.

Here are Banks’ picks:

17. 16. 25. 56. Final

Banks has the Bengals continuing to roll against a revamped Bills team under Rex Ryan. This pick seems like common sense given the Begnals play this season so far.

27. 45. Final. 20. 53

The Broncos keep rolling, but it is hard to imagine the Broncos losing to the lowly Browns. Banks might have given the Broncos too much credit in this one.

24. 57. 31. 50. Final

The Lions and Bears are both struggling this season, but Banks has the Lions on top at Ford Field because it might be their only chance this season.

52. 21. 10. Final. 20

This is a rough game to watch, two 1-4 teams squaring off. Banks has the Texans edging the Jaguars in a close game of subpar teams.

Final. 16. 124. 27. 60

The Vikings are off a bye at 2-2, and the Chiefs come into the game at 1-4. This game will see which team is going to turn their fortunes and Banks thinks this game could serve as a launching pad for the Vikings.

The Jets are trying to bounce back off a Week 3 loss at home and what better opponent than the Redskins.

55. 26. 32. Final. 16

Banks has the Cardinals getting past the Steelers who are without quarterback ben Roethlisberger.

35. 20. 59. Final. 18

Neither team inspires confidence, but picking anyone against the Titans seems like a no-brainer.

36. Final. 17. 87. 23

The Panthers are undefeated, but the Seahawks are a hard team to beat and consistently tough. This is a big measuring stick for the Panthers and Banks thinks they’ll come up short.

22. 13. 33. 49. Final

The Packers are rulling and the Chargers are failing to impress, Banks picks the Packers to win at home.

42. Final. 19. 26. 27

A rematch of the Super Bowl a few years ago, but not a game with as much impact on the season or nearly as competitive. Both teams are trying to find their second win of the season and Banks thinks the 49ers find it.

Final. 17. 46. 31. 47

Banks is picking the Patriots to continue their winning ways against a Colts team struggling to establish themselves.
