It’s Week 6 of the NFL regular season and we’ve got the five best games you’ll watch this week. What are you looking forward to?
You want parity? Well, here you go.
The first six weeks of the NFL season have proven to be unpredictable. It seems like anyone can beat anyone in a given week, unless you’re the Browns of course. There are only couple of teams that stand alone at the top or bottom of the league and the playoff picture is about as clear as mud heading into Week 6.
We’ve got 14 matchups this week and here are five to look forward to.
5. Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings
I love NFC North matchups. These games always seem to be close, no matter the record. Sometimes, we are lucky enough to see them come down to a game-winning Hail Mary. The Packers sit atop the division at 4-1 while the Vikings are breathing down their neck at 3-2.
One game separates these two teams, but all the advantages go to the Packers in this matchup. Without Sam Bradford and Dalvin Cook, the Vikings offense is in trouble. Their defense has kept them in games, but at some point, the offensive production has to be there. Against the Bears, 20 points is good enough but that won’t fare well against the better teams in the NFL.
The Packers open up as three to four point on the road and that’s almost solely because of Aaron Rodgers. He’s by far the most talented quarterback in the NFL and is the reason why the Packers are one of the best teams in football. You can’t even feel safe holding a lead with just over a minute left to play, just ask the Cowboys about that.
Rodgers is 40-13 lifetime against the NFC North and he should win this one.
