Week 6 starts in Denver.

Thursday Night Football brings Seahawks at Broncos. Both teams enter 3-2, but they're coming off very different Sundays. Denver rallied for a 23-17 road win over the Chargers, while Seattle suffered a frustrating 32-29 loss to the undefeated 49ers, turning the ball over four times.

The defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks are looking to bounce back behind Sam Darnold and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year. But Darnold has thrown five interceptions over his last three games, and Denver's defense will be looking to take advantage. On...

Week 5 is here.

Sunday starts across the pond. Eagles-Jaguars from London, Jacksonville -2.5. The Jaguars enter 3-1 and riding back-to-back wins, while Philadelphia has dropped two straight after opening the season 2-0. An early morning kickoff with two teams heading in opposite directions.

The Cowboys’ offense has been one of the best in football through four weeks, averaging 30.5 points per game — second in the NFL. CeeDee Lamb is coming off a monster 17-catch, 189-yard performance against Houston. Tampa Bay, meanwhile, is averaging just 19 points and 278.3 yards per game.

Then comes the weekly $500 touchdown scorer, a few anytime TD parlays pulled from thin air, and...

Week 5 is here. 

The early window opens with Alabama at Mississippi State, Alabama -5.5. Two undefeated SEC teams, both ranking in the top 16, both putting up points. Starkville has been loud all year and this is the biggest test yet for the Bulldogs. 

Afternoon settles into a stretch of road favorites. Ohio State at Iowa is Ohio State -14.5. Kinnick in early October always feels heavier than the number. Florida at Missouri is Florida -5.5, another ranked SEC matchup where the home team has something to prove after last week. Kentucky at South Carolina is So...

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL IS BACK. And prime-time football heads out west as two teams looking to make a statement under the lights collide at SoFi Stadium.

The Giants head into Los Angeles as 7-point underdogs facing a Rams team hungry to bounce back on their home turf. New York relies heavily on their physical ground game with rookie Cam Skattebo alongside standard full-house packages, using physical football to control the tempo and keep opposing offenses off the field. Malik Nabers remains a lethal weapon on the outside, while edge-rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux and the defense aim to disrupt...

The early slate is a pile of 1 o’clock games and none of them are clean. Panthers are laying 2.5 in Atlanta, two 0-1 teams who already look tired of each other. Bears are 5.5-point home favorites over Minnesota after Chicago dropped 59 in Week 1 and the Vikings are dealing with Kyler in concussion protocol. Eagles at Titans is Philly -7 and a 39.5 total — Nashville as a hostage situation. Patriots are laying 5.5 to Pittsburgh. Packers are laying 4.5 at the Jets. Bucs are laying 8.5 to Cleveland. Ravens are laying 8.5 to the Saints. Texans are 2.5-point home favorites over Cincinnati a week after Buff...

Detroit needed overtime and a failed two-point try to beat New Orleans 31-30. Now they get four days and a short week on the road.

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL IS BACK. And apparently the NFL decided Patrick Mahomes’ first game back should be against the team that stole his division.

The Broncos walk into Arrowhead on Monday night as the defending AFC West champs after going 14-3, taking the No. 1 seed, and sweeping Kansas City for the first time since 2014. Denver has now won four of the last five against the Chiefs. Kansas City went 6-11, missed the playoffs for the first time since 2014, and watched its nine-year run atop the AFC West officially die.
