NFL Week 6 picks and predictions

It's hard to imagine two more anticipated Week 6 games than the pair we'll see back-to-back this Sunday.

First, it'll be a rematch of last season's AFC playoff game between the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs.

You remember that game? The one that saw 78 combined points, including 31 in the last two minutes and overtime? The one that saw nearly 1,000 yards of total offense? The one that saw seven combined touchdown passes between quarterbacks Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes and no interceptions?

The one we're still talking about today? Perhaps the greatest playoff game in the NFL's history?

Yeah, that one.

Coming into Sunday's 4:25 p.m. (ET) kickoff at Arrowhead Stadium, both the Bills and Chiefs are 4-1 and rolling. Allen and Mahomes are in the top four in the league in passing yards, including the Bills QB leading the NFL with 1,651 yards. Mahomes has thrown 15 touchdown passes on the year, which is No. 1 in the league. Allen is right behind with 14 TD tosses.

Currently the Over/Under total is 52 points, according to DraftKings. We're thinking Over. Way over.

Then there's the nightcap between NFC East rivals. The one-loss Dallas Cowboys travel to face the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football as 6.5-point underdogs.

Is it too cliche to say "throw out the record books" for this one?

Maybe. But it might be plausible.

While Dak Prescott is not expected to start for Dallas, his stand-in, Cooper Rush, is playing very well. He's undefeated as a starter and managing the Cowboys' offense better than expected.

This one will be an old-fashioned NFC East slugfest. And most likely closer than the line indicates.

Now, on to the Week 6 picks!
