The Week 6 late for the 2020 NFL season is loaded with important games, and we’re here to at least pick a few of them correctly.

1-4. 44. Sunday, Oct. 18. 60. MIN -3.5. 1 p.m. ET. 0-5. FOX

The new beginning starts (sort of) for the Falcons, who have moved on from head coach Dan Quinn and general manager Thomas Dimitroff. What does that do for Atlanta this week? Not enough. Minnesota has the better roster and should get pressure on Matt Ryan throughout.

Pick: Minnesota 30, Atlanta 24

Sunday, Oct. 18. 54. BAL -7.5. 4-1. 26. CBS. 1-3-1. 1 p.m. ET

The Ravens have been dominant defensively save their debacle against Kansas City. Carson Wentz was better against the Steelers, but he has thrown nine interceptions this year, a league-worst. If Lamar Jackson can get the passing game cranked up, this may be a blowout.

Pick: Baltimore 29, Philadelphia 17

87. 4-1. FOX. Sunday, Oct. 18. 57. 3-2. CAR -2.5. 1 p.m. ET

Who thought a big game this year would have Teddy Bridgewater facing Nick Foles? Yet, here we are. Carolina has won three straight while the Bears are somehow 4-1 despite not having an offense. Ultimately, this comes down to Matt Rhule trying to scheme a few touchdowns up. Bet on Rhule to do it.

Pick: Carolina 24, Chicago 20

CBS. Sunday, Oct. 18. IND -8. 1 p.m. ET. 1-3-1. 56. 3-2. 46

Philip Rivers is completely washed up, but Joe Burrow has about 0.4 seconds to throw before getting hit by 12 guys simultaneously. Indianapolis has been very good defensively this season, so take the Colts and the points at home.

Pick: Indianapolis 25, Cincinnati 13
