NFL Picks Week 6: Lions and Packers Hit Cruise Control in Week 6

Perfection lives in the north. There is nothing that Week 6 opponents can do to derail the hottest teams in the NFL; the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions. 

The NFC Northern powers have a pair of early games on Sunday. That means they will get in and out with wins, on to bigger fish that need some frying. 

The wild NFL season is epitomized by these two teams. While other contenders fall by the wayside, the Packers have maintained their poise and swagger received from the Super Bowl. They are the rare elite team that is yet to stumble in the early goings. 

The Detroit Lions have enjoyed a stirring rise in the first few weeks. We can hardly call them a complete surprise as we knew they would be good, but not 5-0 good. 

Both take on lesser opponents in what should deliver them to six wins, and the only two seats remaining for perfect teams. 

49ers @ Detroit Lions: This looms as the tougher of the two games. The San Francisco 49ers have come out of the gate as real contenders to take the still dreadful NFC West. 

The Niners still have issues with their passing game, something that will not be helped by the Lions' pass rush. Matthew Stafford and company will have a field day against the Niners' secondary. 

This will be closer than some think, but the Lions take this one at home. 

Rams @ Packers: I can hardly stand to look. A lifelong Rams fan as myself knows what futility looks like. I have seen the Rams play this dreadful mess of ball before. I just keep expecting to see Jim Everett on the field. 

The Packers may have issues in the secondary, but the Rams have problems abounding everywhere. This will be a drubbing to end all drubbings.
