NFL Week 6 Notes & Predictions

Week 6 in the NFL has a couple of divisional matchups that require some attention and some games that you shouldn’t bother tuning in for.  Here are some notes before we get into this week’s games:

• Colin Kaepernick is finally in the driver’s seat for the 49ers offense. San Fran is ranked 2nd to worst in the NFL in total offense and are in dire need of a spark. Kaep will face off against a stubborn Bill’s defense that are allowing 17 points per game.
• Cam Newton is coming off a concussion and is expected to start against the Saints on Sunday.  The Panthers are 1-4 and have fallen way behind and look nothing like the prominent team in the NFC that they were a season ago.  Fortunately for Carolina, they’ll face off against New Orleans (1-3) who is also off to a poor start.
• The Atlanta Falcons vs. Seattle Seahawks could make out to be the game of the week.  Atlanta is off to a hot start, leading the league in passing yards and total offense. Seattle leads the league in total defense and fewest passing yards allowed. Both teams are at the top of their division.

Here is how we see things shaking out between TNF and MNF in the NFL.
