Don’t panic. The sky is not falling on the NFL just because Super Bowl contenders like the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings are struggling below .500. It’s only been five weeks since the regular season started. Things will change; at this time last year, the New York Giants were 5-0. They finished the season out of the playoffs at 8-8. The 2009 Green Bay Packers started 2-2 and ended up with a Wild Card berth at 11-5.
As Week 6 the 2010-11 NFL season encroaches, the teams that haven’t had a bye will begin feel the effects of fatigue. There are a lot of intriguing matchups on tap. Philadelphia and Atlanta collide in the City of Brotherly Love, two Super Bowl candidates clash in Foxborough as the Patriots host the Ravens, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers battle the defending New Orleans Saints.
Here I look at the matchups, giving you some early insight that will help make your 2010 NFL wagers winners.
The biggest game on the National Football League’s Week 6 slate features a pair of unbeaten teams that both seem to be, well, unbeatable.
It should make for a classic clash when the New York Giants tangle with the New Orleans Saints on Sunday at the Louisiana Superdome (1 pm ET, FOX).
betED.com has the Saints favored by 3 points in NFL Betting Lines, with the over/under set at 47.
Week 6 is here and there a couple of great games on the schedule.
Looking back to 2008 Week 6, the Dallas Cowboys lost starting quarterback Tony Romo to a fractured left pinkie, forcing Romo to miss the next four games and quite possibly ruining the Cowboys playoff hopes, as they dropped 3 of 4 without their starter. Could we see another high profile injury this year?

Football preview for week 6 NFL action – all NFL games are viewed and previewed:
Chicago Bears vs. Atlanta Falcons
Atlanta has the second best rushing offense in the league so far and Michael Turner has looked almost unstoppable at home. Brian Urlacher doesn’t care. Chicago will shut down the run and force “Matty Ice” to go downfield.
