NFL Pick of the Week: Chicago Bears @ Atlanta Falcons

Both losers of two in a row, the Falcons and Bears head into Week 6 looking to turn things around. Atlanta's No. 3 ranked offense can put up some unreal numbers - it'll be up to their defense to stop Chicago from matching TD for TD.

MGM Mirage lists the Chicago Bears as +160 underdogs in Week 6 as they head to Atlanta to match up against the Falcons. While Vegas gives the Bears about a 38 percent chance of winning (+160), AccuScore has that up at 48.4 percent (+105).

NFL Pick: Bears to cover the +3 spread.

NFL & NCAA Football Previews

College Football: Oregon Ducks @ UCLA Bruins

Despite having a hiccup early in the season, both Oregon and UCLA still have an opportunity to be in the College Football Playoff. That, however, means one team will still be in the hunt after this weekend and the other will be more than likely out of the picture barring some miracle.

It'll be a matchup that features star quarterbacks - which means plenty of offense - and two poor offensive lines - which again means more scoring. The Ducks' line gave up 12 sacks in the past two games and UCLA gave up an unimaginable 10 sacks in last week's loss to Utah.

NFL Sunday Showdown: Dallas Cowboys @ Seattle Seahawks

The seemingly-improved Dallas Cowboys enter Week 6 tied for first place in their division. So too are the host Seattle Seawhawks, who enter this weekend's matchup after a far from impressive win over Washington in MNF last week. This matchup will come down to Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray and how efficient he is on the ground. Through five games, Murray has racked up 670 rushing yards on 130 carries (5.2 per). Seattle is, however, No. 1 in the league in run defense (total yards, yards per attempt).

Can Seattle contain Murray the way they did with Ryan Mathews, Alfred Morris and Eddie Lacy? AccuScore projects Murray to finish with 98 yards on 18 carries.
