We’re back with NFL picks, week six edition here at NFL Mocks. As always, you can find full NFL news and NFL predictions here on the site, as well as newsy notes on both college football and the NFL Draft. You can follow the site on Twitter @NFLMocks, and the author @JoeWedra.

Last week was a good week. For the first week with more than two teams on a bye, I correctly picked 10 of the weekend’s 14 games, finding my way back into the double-digit category in wins. We’re still missing the “perfect week”, but something tells me that isn’t ever going to happen.

Anyway, we approach week six with an NFL landscape that is anything but clear. It’s not enough that we have a 2015 Super Bowl competitor sitting at 1-4, but there’s already been three coordinator firings and we have an AFC that, aside from the duo of Pittsburgh and New England, has its doors wide open for playoff berths. The NFL is pretty awesome, eh?

With that said, let’s try to keep the hot streak going with picks, starting with a surprise upset prediction in tonight’s Thursday night battle. Join the fun in the comments section below, won’t you?
