It’s time for the FanSided staff to make their NFL picks and predictions for Week 6. Maybe our NFL expert can finally get over .500.

Nothing is more fun than picking then NFL games on a weekly basis. Sure, we are likely going to get them wrong at least 40 percent of the time, but what the heck?

This weekend has a slate of very intriguing games. For instance, the Kansas City Chiefs and Oakland Raiders will renew one of the oldest rivalries in the game at the Coliseum. Then there is the NFC clash between the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers. Both teams only have one loss, making this a contest with potentially huge playoff implications down the line.

Then we have the Cincinnati Bengals, who at 2-3 are desperate to get a win in their quest to reach the playoffs (and be bounced out of them) for the sixth straight time. Unfortunately for the Queen City, its team will be taking on the New England Patriots come Sunday afternoon at Gillette Stadium.

So which teams are the FanSiders putting their reputation on? Here are the Week 6 NFL picks:

The only teams earning the clean sweep are the Patriots, Steelers, Cardinals, Bills and Broncos. Hell, the Cleveland Browns have two people in their corner.
