NFL Week 6 picks and odds Packers upend

Guys, I'll be honest, after all the changes the NFL made to the , I don't even really know who's playing this week. I've already lost track. The sent out a 1,000-word pre s release that explained all the changes, but I stopped reading it about 200 words in, which probably explains why I have no idea what's going on.To make the schedule change work, it's like the NFL took some darts, but instead of throwing them at a dartboard, they threw them at a Magic Eight Ball that was sitting on top of a Jenga tower.NFL: "Magic Eight Ball, should we throw competitive balance out the window and make Oliver Bjorkstrand Kids Jersey a bunch of schedule changes that will needle sly affect multiple teams?"Magic Eight Ball: "As I see it, yes."I think what I'm saying here is that the NFL made everything way more complicated than it needed to be and it's likely all going to come crashing down soon, but you know what, I'm going to keep picking games until it happens. If the NFL wants to make any more changes, I'm sure the would happily agree to postponing the rest of the season until March, which is when might be healthy again. In one of the most gruesome injuries you'll ever see, Dak the on Sunday.I'm not sure how good the Cowboys are going to be without him, but I do think they're going to win this week. Whoops, I just spoiled a pick. Let's hurry up and get to the rest of the picks so I don't spoil anything else. Actually, before we get to the picks, here's a quick reminder that you can check out the weekly picks from every . If you don't click over, I won't be offended. However, I will be offended if you don't sign up for CBSSports.com's NFL newsletter, which my bo Cam Atkinson Kids Jersey ses have put me in charge of for some reason. If you do sign up, it's like an early Christmas present for both of us: I get more sign-ups and you get an email from me every weekday, which means it's really like five presents if you think about it. If you want to subscribe, all you . I promise not to spam you and I promise not to send you any inappropriate pictures.Since I'm now running a newsletter, you might be thinking that I'll be way too busy to podcast, but nope, you're in luck, because I'll still be on the Pick Six Podcast, which is our daily NFL podcast here at CBSSports.com. For the rest of the 2020 season, I'll be joining Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson for three shows per week (Monday, Tuesday and Friday). You can listen to Tuesday's episode below. The reason you're going to want to listen is because we spent way more time than we probably should have trying to rank the quarterbacks in the NFC South, which definitely isn't as easy as it sounds. We also talked about the wild win over the . If you don't have time to listen now, make Josh Anderson Kids Jersey sure to and listen later.Some day, I promise I'll stop asking you guys to subscribe to things, but until then, can you please also sign up for my Backstreet Boys newsletter? Just kidding, that's not real. At least not yet. Let's get to the picks. 1 p.m. ET (Fox)Point spread: , -2.5If you would have told me before the season started that Bears-Panthers would be must-see TV in October, I would've a sumed that you were talking about a show on Animal Planet that involves actual and actual panthers. And I have to say, now that I'm talking about it, I might actually try to watch a documentary on bears this weekend. I love bear documentaries.As for this game, I still have no idea if either of these teams are any good. The Panthers are 3-2, but their three wins came against a rookie quarterback who was making his second career start ( ), a team that has already fired its coach (the ) and a team that had to fly acro s the country for a game that kicked off at 1 p.m. ET, which means it felt like 10 a.m. on their body clocks.The Bears also have two things the Panthers haven't really seen this season: A good defense plus a quarterback who I think might be half-opo sum because he plays dead for half the game before coming back to life just in time to lead his team to a miraculous fourth-quarter win. The fact that the Bears have won any games this season is a borderline miracle because we're five weeks into the season and they somehow still haven't scored a SINGLE POINT IN THE THIRD QUARTER. That's like going five full weeks without using toilet paper. It doesn't even seem po sible. Through five games, the Bears have scored in the third quarter, which is Cam Atkinson Women Jersey the lowest total of any team in the NFL this season, INCLUDING THE . That's not a typo. The Bears are worse than the Jets at something. I think we know which quarter Foles is playing opo sum. The good news for the Bears is that their defense is so good this whole "We can't score in the third quarter" thing might not matter against Carolina.I think the Panthers are going to have a tough time scoring on the Bears and if you combine that with the fact that I've decided not to pick against for the foreseeable future, I think we know who I'm taking in this game.The pick:Bears 20-17 over Panthers 1 p.m. ET (CBS)Point spread: , -3.5I thought an apocalypse would destroy civilization before we'd ever see the start a season 4-1, and as it turns out, I gue s I was half right, because a pandemic is definitely on the list of crazy things that could eventually lead to an apocalypse.The Browns are off to 4-1 start for the first time since 1994, which is notable, because that's also the last time they won a playoff game. I've actually been very impre sed by the Browns this year. Well, most of them. Through five weeks, I'm still not completely sold on . The Browns quarterback faced his toughest challenge of the year on Sunday against the defense and let's just say, he didn't look impre sive. I mean, after watching that game, I'm somewhat convinced he might not even be the best quarterback on the team. It's Odell's turn to throw a pa s this week The Checkdown (@thecheckdown) Mayfield now has to go into the House of Horrors known as Pittsburgh to face a Steelers defense that might be even better than Indy's. Also, he's going to have to face the Steelers without his starting right guard, , who's likely going to mi s this week's game with an injury. With Teller out, the Browns will be rolling with someone ( ) who's never started a game at right guard before. That might be fine if you're facing the Jets, but that's not so great if you're facing the Steelers. Also, I'm not sure I mentioned it, but the Browns have never beaten Mike Tomlin's Steelers in Pittsburgh (0-13). Fortunately for the Browns, I'm a big believer in the law of averages and that law says they have to win a Mark Letestu Women Jersey game in Pittsburgh at some point. However, I'm also a big believer in Murphy's Law, which says that everything that can go wrong, will go wrong, which kind of sums up every game Cleveland has ever played at Heinz Field.I'm going to split the differe
