NFL Week 6 picks: Cowboys shock undefeated Eagles, Ravens beat Giants, Bills top Chiefs in wild shootout

So I’m supposed to be giving you some picks for Week 6 right now, but I have some bad news: There actually might not be a Week 6 because I’ve written a letter to the NFL asking that all games be postponed until the ROUGHING THE PASSER rule gets completely re-written. 

Based on what I saw over the weekend, tackling the quarterback is now illegal. If you breathe on Derek Carr, you will be penalized. If you look at Tom Brady awkwardly, you will be penalized and probably ejected. If you tackle Brady the wrong way, there’s a 50% chance you’ll be banned from the NFL for life. 

Apparently, the only time you’re allowed to make a huge hit on a QB is if he’s a rookie. So, um, sorry Kenny Pickett. 

If that hit had been made on Brady, Shaq Lawson would have been arrested on the spot. 

It’s a good thing Lawson didn’t get arrested because he’s going to have his hands full with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs this week. So who am I going to pick in that game? Let’s get to the Week 6 picks and find out. 

Actually, before we get to the picks, here’s a quick reminder that you can check out the weekly picks from every CBSSports.com NFL expert by clicking here. 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 I’m in charge of writing. 

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 more like five presents. If you want to subscribe, all you have to do is click here and enter your email address. I promise not to spam you and I promise not to send you pictures of my cat.

Besides writing the newsletter, I also make time in my schedule to join Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson on the Pick Six podcast four days per week and you can listen to our latest show below. The reason you’re going to want to listen is because we spent 45 minutes dissecting every angle of the Chiefs’ insane win over the Raiders. 

Alright, let’s get to the picks before I think of something else to promote.
