2026 NFL Week 6 Preview and Predictions: Part 1

Teams on Their Bye Week:

Minnesota Vikings (5-0)

Cincinnati Bengals (3-2)

Detroit Lions (3-2)

Miami Dolphins (0-5)

(3-2) Seattle Seahawks @ Denver Broncos (3-2)

Week 6’s Thursday Night Football clash is quite a big one as both the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos need a win! The Denver Broncos sent the Los Angeles Chargers into early retirement with a 23-17 win last weekend, and they currently find themselves second in the AFC West! As for Seattle, they lost in a tight game with the San Francisco 49ers last time out, and they currently sit second in the NFC West! In the end, I’m actually going to back The Broncos here! It’s very hard for anyone to win in Denver, even Seattle!

(1-4) Houston Texans @ Jacksonville Jaguars (4-1)

The final London game of 2026 sees the in-form Jacksonville Jaguars take on the struggling Houston Texans at Wembley Stadium! The Jacksonville Jaguars somehow managed to beat the Philadelphia Eagles with the final kick of the game last weekend, and they currently lead the AFC South (as the only team with a positive record)! As for Houston, they finally picked up their first victory of the season last time out against the Tennessee Titans, and they currently sit third in the AFC South! In the end, I expect The Jags to win this game! In my opinion, The Jaguars are a much better team than The Texans!

(3-2) Chicago Bears @ Atlanta Falcons (2-3)

The Atlanta Falcons suffered a slightly disappointing overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens in last week’s Sunday Night Football, and they currently sit second in the NFC South! As for Chicago, they got humbled 31-7 by the Green Bay Packers last time out, and they currently find themselves bottom of the NFC North (despite having a positive record)! In the end, I’m actually going to pick The Falcons to win this game! I find this game to almost be a flip of the coin when it comes to who’s going to win, so when that happens, I tend to favour home-field advantage!  

(4-1) Baltimore Ravens @ Cleveland Browns (3-2)

The Cleveland Browns lost a ton of momentum with a poor loss at the New York Jets last time out, and they currently sit second in the AFC North! As for Baltimore, they picked up a good road win in Atlanta in Week 5’s edition of Sunday Night Football, and they currently lead the AFC North! In the end, I’m backing The Ravens here! After Cleveland’s performance last week, they’re not getting my vote any time soon!

(0-5) Tennessee Titans @ Indianapolis Colts (2-3)

The Indianapolis Colts were easily second-best in Pittsburgh last weekend, and they currently sit second in the AFC South! As for Tennessee, they got smashed by the Houston Texans last time out, and they currently find themselves bottom of the AFC South! In the end, The Colts should win this game easily! To be fair, Indianapolis don’t exactly deserve much backing, but Tennessee are completely useless!

(2-3) New York Jets @ New England Patriots (3-2)

The New England Patriots thumped the Las Vegas Raiders 45-17 last weekend, and they currently find themselves second in the AFC East! As for New York, they managed to edge out the Cleveland Browns last time out, and they currently sit third in the AFC East! In the end, I expect New England to thrash New York in this one! Drake Maye and The Patriots are starting to roll again!

(1-4) New Orleans Saints @ New York Giants (3-1-1)

The New York Giants escaped with a tie in Washington in Week 5, and they currently lead the NFC East! As for New Orleans, they lost again last time out at home against the Minnesota Vikings, and they currently find themselves bottom of the NFC South! In the end, I’m reluctantly going to back NY! The Giants are a massive question mark at the moment, but I still think they’ll beat The Saints!
