Just two undefeated teams remain in the NFL. One is the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and the other may be a bit of a surprise – the Minnesota Vikings.

Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson remains one of the league’s top pass catchers and sits third in the league in yardage.

The team’s rise also has benefitted from the defensive side of the ball and Minnesota is second in the league in sacks with 20.

Both the Chiefs and Vikings are on byes this week, but some other top teams are in action and will be worth keeping an eye on.

After a surprising 1-point loss to the Cardinals in Week 5, the 2-3 San Francisco 49ers hope to bounce back against the Seahawks (3-2). The NFC West may have been a bit more competitive than most might have thought before the season got underway.

The NFL also saw a head coach already get the ax this week when the Jets’ Robert Saleh was let go after losing to the Vikings and getting off to a 2-3 start.

He had a 20-36 record after more than three years at the helm. Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich now takes over as interim head coach.

Can the team right the ship and get in playoff contention? The Jets are just a game behind the Bills in the AFC East and the two square off in Week 6 on Monday Night Football.

Here’s a quick look at this week’s action.

Matchups to Watch

The Commanders-Ravens game  highlights this week’s schedule.

That may not have been a marquee matchup when the season kicked off, but the Commanders have impressed, thanks to the continued success of rookie quarterback sensation Jayden Daniels.

The Ravens (3-2) have righted the ship after starting the season 0-2 and notching a nice overtime win over the Bengals on Sunday. Look for a high-scoring affair in Baltimore.

Here’s a look at some other matchups to watch this week.

  • Lions at Cowboys – Dallas (3-2) came through with a last-second win on Sunday night in Pittsburgh, but the Cowboys have their hands full again this week with the 3-1 Lions coming off a bye.
  • 49ers at Seahawks – The Seahawks (3-2) lost at home to the Giants and the 49ers have struggled to start the season as well. San Francisco (2-3) is second in the league in total yards, but the record isn’t there to match that offensive firepower.
  • Chargers at Broncos – The AFC West looks to be one of the best divisions in the NFL so far and these two look to keep pace with Kansas City. The Chargers (2-2) are coming off a bye after a tough loss to the Chiefs in Week 4. The Broncos (3-2) found a nice win over the Raiders in Week 5.
  • Steelers at Raiders – As seen against the Cowboys last week, the Steelers have a great defense but truly ugly offense. Justin Fields doesn’t look like the answer at quarterback. The Raiders (2-3) are coming off a bye and 34-18 loss to the Broncos and hope to stay in the AFC West race.

Interesting Prop Bets

That Lamar Jackson prop bet paid off last week as he went above the 50-yard mark in overtime. Derrick Henry came up eight yards short of the 100 mark however.

This week, look for Brock Purdy to post more than 1.5 passing touchdowns for the 49ers against an average Seahawks defense.

Picks for the People

It was another 3-3 week in Week 5, but we’ll give it another shot. Here are a few selections for Week 6.

  • 49ers at Seahawks – Look for a big bounce back from the Niners as they cover the 3.5 points and begin taking command of the NFC West.
  • Falcons at Panthers – Atlanta (3-2) notched a nice win over the Bucs in Week 5 and have been competitive every game this season. The birds will cover the 6.5 over the lowly Panthers.
  • Chargers at Broncos – Denver has shown some signs of life with three straight wins. Put a few bucks on the Broncos to keep this one close and within the 3 points.
  • Buccaneers at Saints – The Saints have lost three in a row and really looked bad against the Chiefs. Look for the Bucs to top the 3.5 and the over 41.5 also looks good.
