I have two words for you: Taylor Swift. Yeah. She is rumored to be attending Thursday night’s (Oct. 12) Kansas City Chiefs vs. Denver Broncos game, according to TMZ. If that’s true, then Thursday’s game will probably be the most watched game all weekend. Hey, don’t kill the messenger. I’m just stating facts. It’s one of the must-watch NFL games this week.

The NFL Week 6 schedule has some great games. Before I get into it, let’s look at the bye weeks. This week, just two teams have a bye week, so that means more games, and the more, the merrier. The Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers have bye weeks in NFL Week 6. The Packers are probably happy to have it, following Monday night’s (Oct. 9) semi-embarrassing loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Must-Watch NFL Games This Week: NFL Week 6

Seattle Seahawks vs. Cincinnati Bengals. Even though this is a non-conference game, it’s a big one. Both teams are performing well this year. I’m curious to watch this game and see who comes out on top.

Detroit Lions vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. When this game was first announced, it didn’t seem like a big one. But, the Detroit Lions are 4-1, and the Buccaneers are having a surprisingly good season, too. This is an away game for the Lions, so let’s see if they can pull off a win. They’re favored in most polls. They’re both often listed as one of the top teams in the NFL right now, too.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. New York Jets. These guys are rivals, and it will be interesting to see how the chemistry plays out.

Indianapolis Colts vs. Jacksonville Jaguars. These two teams are going at it for the AFC South current lead. I’m surprised by how well the Jags are doing this year.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Los Angeles Chargers. Here’s another hot game, and this one is on Monday Night Football game. The Cowboys just got slaughtered by the 49ers, so they’re hungry for a win. Also, the Chargers are looking strong this season and have a great quarterback in Justin Herbert.

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Denver Broncos. Because, Taylor Swift. Sorry, but it’s true.

5 Best NFL Teams Right Now

  • 5. Seattle Seahawks

    I really think these guys are underrated. When it comes down to it, they have a not-so-secret weapon in star running back, and former Spartan, Kenneth Walker III. One of my best friends lived in Seattle working for Starbucks for years, so I’ve been following this team a long time. They’ve really bounced back the past two years, and I think their record is proving that they could go far this season.

  • 4. Detroit Lions

    I know what you’re thinking. The Detroit Lions? Yes, I’m a lifelong Lions fan, so maybe I’m a tad biased, but wow, am I impressed. I feel like this team is starting where they left off last season. Other than a surprise loss to the Seahawks (darn you guys!), the Lions have won all their other games this season. I see them making it to the playoffs and, hopefully, keeping quarterback Jared Goff for the long-haul. They play the Carolina Panthers this weekend, and it’s expected to be a blowout.

  • 3. San Francisco 49ers

    I have a weird hunch that these guys could make it to the Super Bowl. Okay, maybe it’s not so weird, since the 49s and Eagles are the only undefeated teams in the NFL right now. But, I think they’re strong and proving that they’re one of the big teams to beat this season.

  • 2. Kansas City Chiefs

    I know that it’s been a rocky start for the Kansas City Chiefs, but they’re still performing better than most NFL teams right now. They had a slow beginning but are starting to pick up momentum. It doesn’t hurt that they have one of the best quarterbacks of this era, Patrick Mahomes.

  • 1. Philadelphia Eagles

    I’m keeping my No. 1 pick the same this season. I’m still going with the Eagles as the strongest team in the NFL right now. The Eagles and 49ers are the only undefeated teams right now. That could change soon, but for now, Jalen Hurts and company are showing that they’re hungry for another chance at that Super Bowl prize.
