NFL Picks Week 6: Philadelphia Eagles and 3 Teams That Will Lose Must-Win Games

We are only in Week 6 of NFL action but some teams are already staring at must-win games. Unfortunately for three teams, these must-win games will turn into losses.

Here's a quick look at three teams who will be in serious trouble heading into Week 7. 

Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles can ill-afford moving to 1-5 on the season, especially in the NFC East where every team seems to be a contender. If they lose this one they can forget about making the playoffs.

The Washington Redskins have vastly improved since last season and seem primed to get revenge on the Eagles after that 59-28 drubbing last year.

Philly can't stop the run and Washington has three legitimate running backs. They should be able to hold onto the ball for the majority of the game, disrupt Mike Vick on the defensive side of the ball and pull off the victory.

Problems in Philadelphia will continue to mount.

Cleveland Browns

Speaking of tough divisions, the AFC North is a killer. The Cleveland Browns have played decently to start the season and sit at 2-2, yet they are last in the division. If they want to keep pace with the Bengals and Steelers for a wild card spot, they desperately need a win.

Unfortunately for the Brownies, they travel to Oakland to take on a mighty impressive Raiders team that will be at home for the first time since the passing of Al Davis. It will be an emotional game for Oakland and they will likely ride that emotion to a win. 

Dallas Cowboys

The 'Boys have probably been better than their 2-2 record indicates, but a few fourth-quarter collapses have really hurt them. 

If they lose on Sunday they'll suddenly be 2-3. And while that isn't the worst thing in the world, it will put them in a pretty tough position.

And lose they will. They travel to New England to face a dangerous Patriots team. This one should be high scoring all the way, but in the fourth quarter Tom Brady will prove why he's better than Tony Romo.

The Pats win this one at home.
