NFL Picks Week 6: Detroit Lions and the 3 Teams Who Will Keep Winning

The Detroit Lions rode a huge game from Jahvid Best and Calvin Johnson en route to their primetime win over the division foe Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. 

At 5-0 for the first time since 1956, Detroit is buzzing with Lions hype. 

Can they continue their torrid start to the season in Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers?

Here are the teams I think will keep winning, starting with the mighty Lions. 

Detroit Lions

This is a very intriguing matchup against the 4-1 San Francisco 49ers, who are playing great football of their own this season. 

I think Matt Stafford is finally calm at the beginning of this one and the Lions are able to get in sync earlier in the contest. 

In front of what should be a raucous Ford Field crowd, we'll see a step back from Alex Smith, who's performed admirably thus far. 

Calvin Johnson will turn in a typical game, and for me, the X-factor is Best. If he can hit the "home-run" or just become more consistent on each carry against a solid 49ers run defense, Detroit easily moves to 5-0. If not, this game could go down to the final minutes. 

New Orleans Saints

Their defense has been more susceptible to the big play than we've seen in years past, but I just don't think the Buccaneers have enough offensive fire-power to stick with Drew Brees and Co. 

With Marques Colston back and the budding star Jimmy Graham as go-to-guys for Brees, it once again is nearly impossible to stop the Saints offensive attack. 

Don't forget lightning bug Darren Sproles, either. 

What a pick-up.

Green Bay Packers

They play the St. Louis Rams at home.
