NFL 2019 Week 6 results and Week 7 picks

Some interesting results as former power teams suffered their second (and in one case, third) loss in a row.  The Jets and Redskins won their first game of the season, leaving the same number of winless teams as unbeaten teams (two).

Power Rankings [Last week's rank]
1. New England Patriots (6-0) [1]
2. San Francisco 49ers (5-0) [2]
3. Green Bay Packers (5-1) [4]
4. Seattle Seahawks (5-1) [5]
5. Minnesota Vikings (4-2) [8]
6. Baltimore Ravens (4-2) [6]
7. Buffalo Bills (4-1) [7]
8. Carolina Panthers (4-2) [11]
9. Houston Texans (4-2) [12]
10. Kansas City Chiefs (4-2) [3]
11. New Orleans Saints (5-1) [17]
12. Chicago Bears (3-2) [13]

Divisional Rankings [Last week's rank]
1. NFC North [1] : Remains the only division without a losing team
2. NFC West [2] : The Rams lost again, but Arizona is looking better.  A win by the Cards and Rams this week would ensure that this division doesn't have a team with a losing record either.
3. AFC West [3] : The Chiefs lost again, and the Chargers are falling, but the division is still solid
4. AFC South [4] : Tennessee is showing cracks, but the rest of the division holds their own
5. AFC East [6] : The Jets win helps, and the Fins only lost by one point
6. NFC South [7] : The Falcons hurt them and the Bucs are underachievers
7. AFC North [8] : Baltimore is the only team with a winning record
8. NFC East [5] : Washington's first win was the ONLY win for the division this week

Thursday night
Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos: The Chiefs should return to winning ways against the Broncos, but their high-powered offense has to step it up, as it has evaporated the past couple of weeks.  CHIEFS, 24-20

Sunday early games
Arizona Cardinals at New York Giants: Daniel Jones has given the Giants a spark.  Yes, they lost last week, but they faced the mighty Patriots.  Jameis Winston is too inconsistent to have much faith, but the rest of the Cards can be sneaky.  I think the Giants will lead most of the game, but give up a late score.  If that score doesn't happen, the Giants will win.  CARDS, 23-20

Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts:  Nobody is denying the capability of Jacoby Brissett now, although he has a tough challenge against the Texans.  Certainly Deshaun Watson continues to impress, and the Texans defense is capable of shutting down the Colts.  TEXANS, 27-23

Jacksonville Jaguars at Cincinnati Bengals: In most years, this would be an obvious Bengals pick.  This year, the Bengals can't get it together enough to beat even a defensively-challenged team like the Jags.  JAGUARS, 23-17

Los Angeles Rams at Atlanta Falcons:  The Rams should win this game easily, but I'm not sure a win here will help their Power Ranking much, given the Falcons' collapse this season.  RAMS, 28-23

Miami Dolphins at Buffalo Bills:  The Fins will keep searching for that elusive first win as the Bills register the largest margin of victory of the week.  BILLS, 27-10

Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions:  The Lions become the first team with a losing record in the NFC North as they fall to the surging Vikings.  VIKINGS, 24-20

Oakland Raiders at Green Bay Packers: The Pack continue to roll as they take advantage of a season with few injuries, a rarity with them.  PACKERS, 27-20

San Francisco 49ers at Washington Redskins:  The Redskins won't make it two in a row.  49ERS, 27-13

Sunday late games
Baltimore Ravens at Seattle Seahawks:  If this game were in Baltimore, I'd pick it differently.  Seattle is tough at home, and the Seahawks are riding a strong offense this season.  Baltimore's defense is down a bit, and that will hurt them here.  SEAHAWKS, 23-20

Los Angeles Chargers at Tennessee Titans:  Both teams are 2-4 with very similar margins of victory.  This will be a close game, and close games tend to favor the stronger defense.  That's Tennessee.  TITANS, 23-20

New Orleans Saints at Chicago Bears:  The Saints should win this game, but the Chicago defense is very tough.  Hands down the Saints have the better offense, but that offense has taken a step back without Drew Brees. His absence gives the Bears the chance for the upset.  BEARS, 17-16

Sunday night
Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys:  The Boys defense will help them get back on the winning track, as will a strong game by Ezekial Elliot.  COWBOYS, 27-23

Monday Night Football
New England Patriots at New York Jets: Sam Darnold is back, but the Pats pass rush will put him on his back.  PATRIOTS, 31-16
