Pittsburgh Steelers 17 – New York Jets 24

Gino Smith is getting better with each game he plays, and his decision making will help him overcome the mad rush of the angry Pittsburgh defense.

Philadelphia Eagles 28 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 13

Carolina Panthers 21 - Minnesota Vikings 35

Due to the untimely death of his 2 year old son, Adrian Peterson will suit up to play against the 1-3 Panthers. Both of these disappointing fantasy teams have something to prove in week 6.

Green Bay Packers 31 – Baltimore Ravens 28

The Packers defense may not be able to shut down Joe Flacco’s air attack, but Aaron Rodgers is seeking redemption for the Packers two ugly loses in week 1 and 2.

Jacksonville Jaguars 17 – Denver Broncos 48

The high powered offense of the Denver Broncos with Peyton Manning at the helm is on a record breaking streak this season. With the addition of a running game, and a defense that gets back Champ Bailey in week 6, this is a no contest - that is too much for the Jaguars to handle.

Tennessee Titans 31 – Seattle Seahawks 30

The Titans D has studied the film on Russell Wilson playmaking abilities, and the battle in the trenches will prove too much for the second year QB to handle.

Arizona Cardinals 24 – San Francisco 49ers 27

Colin Kaepernick will to manage the game much more efficient than he has in his last two outings.

New Orleans Saints 38 – New England Patriots 17

Drew Brees is playing lights out football again in 2013; Brees is right on the footsteps of Peyton Manning in several QB statistics.

Washington Redskins 22 – Dallas Cowboys 35

A disappointing loss to the Denver Broncos in week 5 force Tony Romo game management skills to the limit in his week 6 matchup against the Redskins. The return of Miles Austin will be an added plus to help the Cowboys get back to 500.

Indianapolis Colts 31 – San Diego Chargers 27

This Monday Night Football showdown will be a thriller on both sides of the ball, but the standout player of the evening will be Andrew Luck. Luck has become a fourth quarter game manager, very similar to Peyton Manning fourth quarter theatrics while he played in Indy. The Colts D is rising up in the ranks, and this proves to be a fatal blow for Phillip Rivers and his key receivers.
