NFL WEEK 6 PREDICTIONS

New England Patriots (1-4) at Las Vegas Raiders (2-3) 4:05p (ET)

Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots have been known for breaking records. But this season, it has been the wrong type of team records. The Patriots are 1-4 and coming off back-to-back blowout losses. Mac Jones continues to struggle, and he doesn’t have the weapons to make up for his foolish decision-making. At an average of 11.0 points per game through the first five weeks, the Patriots are the worst offense in the league right now and they are on pace to be the worst offense in NFL history. On top of that, the Pats defense isn’t nowhere near what we’ve come to expect from Belichick. The Las Vegas Raiders feel like a football team whose future is very uncertain at this point and they’re stuck in the same type of limbo as teams like the Giants or the Broncos, who make a lot of offseason noise and headlines but aren't really a threat during the actual football games. Expect QB Jimmy Garoppolo to kick his former team while they are down with a win at home. Final Score: Patriots – 16, Raiders – 20

Detroit Lions (4-1) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-1) 4:25p (ET)

One of the best matchups of Week 6 is happening in Tampa Bay, where the (surprising) 3-1 Tampa Bay Buccaneers are coming off their bye week to face off against the 4-1 Detroit Lions. The Buccaneers will face a Lions team that has just been crushing opponents most of the season. And they are getting it done in a myriad of ways. Detroit can beat you with the running game, the passing game, the defense – you name it. They have scored 30 or more points in three of their last four games, so it's going to be very interesting to see just what type of team the Buccaneers are coming off of a bye, playing at home, and going against one of the most explosive, consistent and balanced offenses in the NFL. The Detroit Lions are playing some great football right now, and they've won twice on the road this season, so I expect them to beat the Bucs in Tampa. Final Score: Lions – 31, Buccaneers – 26

Philadelphia Eagles (5-0) at New York Jets (2-3) 4:25p (ET)

The Jets welcome the Philadelphia Eagles to New York after a hard-fought road win in Denver. They defeated the Broncos, but the Eagles are a much different opponent. The Philadelphia Eagles are a great team and will certainly be a factor all throughout the playoffs but, for some reason, it feels like they are perhaps on the verge of getting upset at some point. After the Aaron Rodgers' injury, the Jets have been much better than most people expected, but the Eagles are not the Broncos, and although RB Breece Hall is capable of being productive against any team, the path to victory against the Eagles is not the same as it was the past weekend in Denver. Look for Philly’s pass rush to assert their dominance over Zach Wilson and the New York Jets, and for the Eagles to remain undefeated. Final Score: Eagles – 29, Jets – 17

Dallas Cowboys (3-2) at Los Angeles Chargers (2-2) (Mon) 8:15p (ET)

The Dallas Cowboys head to Los Angeles after their trip to Santa Clara ended in crushing defeat in Week 5. The game that was supposed to be the matchup of the week turned out to be one of the most unbalanced games of the season so far. The Chargers are coming off a bye week, and they hope the extra time will help their offense prepare them for Micah Parsons and the Cowboys’ defense. On the other side of the ball, the Chargers’ secondary will certainly prove to be a much simpler assignment than the 49ers were for the Dallas receiving core. The Cowboys go from one of the best in the league to the absolute worst, as the Chargers have allowed roughly 300 passing yards per game. The Cowboys will be looking to bounce back from an ugly loss and there’s no better stage to do just that than on Monday Night Football. Take Dallas to win on the road and move to 4-2. Final Score: Cowboys – 31, Chargers – 24
