NFL Picks Week 6: Green Bay Packers and Top Teams Sure To Keep Rolling

Some teams are on upset alert this week. The combination of a sneaky opponent and their own struggles are going to at least challenge them.

These teams aren't really on alert. No, you never want to take an opponent lightly. Actually, in two cases here, the opponent is .500 or better.

But these teams are just too good. Why are they so good? Well, multiple reasons, but the fact that they have the three best quarterbacks in the league is a pretty good start.

New Orleans Saints

It's not that the Buccaneers are a bad team or easy win. They are not. I am just not seeing how Tampa will stop Drew Brees.

Without LaGarrette Blount, I don't see the Tampa Bay offense doing enough to control the game and outscore the Saints.

Again, nothing in the NFL can be taken for granted. This is especially true in a matchup of two winning teams. Also, keep in mind that the Buccaneers are the home team.

With all of that being said, the Saints are too much of a machine. They have lost one game, on the road, to the undefeated reigning Super Bowl champions. This week won't change that trend.

Green Bay Packers

While we're on the subject of the defending champions, let's take a look at Aaron Rodgers and company.

This team is just really good. I can waste time saying why they are good, but the fact is that they are just a dominant team.

Actually, this game has massive potential for a blowout. A winless team on the road against an undefeated team. The bye week that the Rams are coming off of won't save them.

New England Patriots

Rob Ryan is one of the best defensive coordinators in the league. Last year, when he was with the Browns, he devised a game plan that effectively shut down Tom Brady and the Patriots.

Now, Ryan is in Dallas. Still, the Patriots offense is just too deep and can beat you in too many ways.

Offensively, the Cowboys will need to be perfect to outscore the Patriots. That's not a good situation to be in.
