Fearless Rick & Coin Flip NFL Week 6 Late Games

All times Eastern

Tennessee Titans at Las Vegas Raiders (-4.5, 41.5) 4:05 pm - The Titans and QB Cam Ward finally got a win (and, incidentally, covered the spread for the first time this season), but don’t think they didn’t catch a load of breaks in their 22-21 win at Arizona.

This week is likely to be a different story as the Titans are on the road for a second straight week and the Raiders have lost four straight, though the competition was stiff - Chargers, Commanders, Bears, Colts. Both teams are 1-4, but the Raiders just appear to be slightly better than Tennessee and have home field.

Coin Flip: Las Vegas

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Raiders 21 Titans 14

San Francisco 49ers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-3, 47.5) 4:25 pm - Premium match-up between a pair of 4-1 teams which are both 3-0 on the road. Tampa being at home, 1-1, their only loss of the season the 31-25 defeat to Philly on a last second blocked field goal returned for a touchdown. The Buccaneers could easily have been 5-0.

The QB edge goes to Baker Mayfield, fourth league-wide in passing yardage, but he may be without RB Bucky Irving and wideout Mike Evans, both of whom missed last week’s 38-35 win at Seattle.

The 49ers return from their 26-23 win over the Rams in England, but are also fairly banged-up, with QB Brock Purdy and wideouts Juan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall all questionable. With all the injuries, Tampa looks to be in better shape with a healthy Baker Mayfield

Coin Flip: Tampa Bay

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Buccaneers 30 49ers 20

Cincinnati Bengals at Green Bay Packers (-14, 44.5) 4:25 pm - The Bengals picked up Joe Flacco to help out the offense, but he may not be the answer. The bengals front O-line has been a mess, allowing too much penetration and sacks. Packers’ linemen will be setting up camp in the Bengals’ backfield.

There are an abundance of reasons why this is the biggest spread on the board. It looks to be a total blowout at Lambeau.

Coin Flip: Cincinnati

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Packers 41 Bengals 10

Detroit Lions at Kansas City Chiefs (-2.5, 52) 8:20 pm - Following their loss at Jacksonville Monday night, the Chiefs find themselves in third place, 2-3, behind Denver and the Chargers, both 3-2. The danger of losing this game means falling further behind in the standings and putting the AFC champs on the ropes for playoff positioning.

The Lions have not lost since their opening day loss to the Packers, which served as a wake-up call. The Detroit offense is the highest scoring the in the NFL. Tough spot for KC. They cannot afford another loss at this juncture.

Coin Flip: Detroit

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Lions 34 Chiefs 30

Monday, October 13

Buffalo Bills (-4.5, 49.5) at Atlanta Falcons 7:15 pm (ESPN) - The Bills come off their first loss of the season, while the Falcons resume play following a bye in Week 5. Buffalo has too much skill not to rebound here.

Atlanta is one of the toughest reads in the league. They lost to the Bucs by 3, then hammered the Vikings in Minnesota, 22-6, were dumped the following week at Carolina (30-0), and then bested the Commanders - without Jayden Daniels - 34-27. If the good Atlanta shows up, the one that uses Bijan Robinson as a battering ram, they can certainly make this one interesting. Expect the line to move to -6 possibly in favor of the Bills. Juicy.

Coin Flip: Atlanta

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Falcons 27 Bills 24

Chicago Bears at Washington Commanders (-4.5, 50) 8:15 pm (ABC) - Commentators will rave about the QB match-up between Jayden Daniels and Caleb Williams, but Daniels has more skill players at his disposal and Williams has been prone to making mistakes trying to do too much himself. Washington arguably has a better defense as well.

The Commanders are 2-0 at home and likely to be 3-0 when this one is over.

Coin Flip: Chicago

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Commanders 31 Bears 21

Bye: Houston Texans, Minnesota Vikings
