NFL Picks Week 6: Which Teams Are Simply Bound to Lose?

You just know it's coming, but it is practically inevitable when you feel it—losing is tough.

With that in mind, there are some matchups in pro football this week that you can tell just by looking at which teams are playing that the game is already over.

But let's discuss them anyway.

Here are three teams bound to lose on Sunday.

St. Louis Rams (at Green Bay)

As if there was any doubt that this game was not going to be on here.  St. Louis is 0-4 and playing at 5-0 Green Bay.

The Packers are much healthier than last season, and the Rams are in the need of help almost everywhere.

Yes—the Rams are going to lose because it's blatantly obvious that Green Bay is the better team.

It will be a surprise if the game is even close, as St. Louis can't stop the run or pass, and they have trouble moving the chains, as well.

Indianapolis Colts (at Cincinnati)

The Colts have given a great effort each week, but they simply don't have the talent to compete—especially with all their injuries.

This week they play the 3-2 Bengals, who have a Top 10 defense and an offense that can methodically wear you down.

In terms of this being an away game for Indy—at least Cincinnati isn't too far away, so they can get home faster.

The Bengals' defense suffocates the Colts' offense, while A.J. Green has his first multi-TD game.

Houston Texans (at Baltimore)

At first glance, this may appear to be a close game, as the Texans are a franchise on the rise.

However, delve a little deeper and we see that WR Andre Johnson—their best player—is out, as well as LB Mario Williams.

Now, include that the game is being played in Baltimore (where the Ravens have outscored opponents 69-24) and that Houston is without its two best players.

It starts out as a close game since Houston knows they must step up big time in order to remain as AFC South favorites, but Baltimore simply has too much talent.

Their defense forces three turnovers, whereas the offense plows over a vulnerable Texans defense.
