NFL Week 6 and Survivor Pool

Here is ESPN's NFL Top Ten going into Week 6:

1.  San Francisco (5-0)

2.  Philadelphia (5-0)

3.  Kansas City (4-1)

4.  Miami (4-1)

5.  Detroit (4-1)

6.  Buffalo (3-2)

7.  Dallas (3-2)

8.  Seattle (3-1)

9.  Tampa Bay (3-1)

10.  Jacksonville (3-2)

My own view is that Buffalo should actually have two rankings.  Some weeks they are actually too good even to be ranked number 1 -- they should have a special ranking, like "85 Bears."  But other weeks they should be ranked around 15.  What's great is that you never really know which version of the Bills will show up from one week to the next, although you are more likely to get the 85 Bears version if the Bills are playing a really good team.

The Game of the Week is actually Number-5 Detroit at Number-9 Tampa Bay, which will be at 3:25 PM Central on Sunday.  Most of the country probably won't get to see it.  And that's it for the week, really.  You should stick to the Month of MLB, which is what I'll do.

Now, what about Survivor Pool.  This week it's easy to know which game to pick -- I'm taking the Dolphins at home against the Panthers.  It may work, or it may not, and I hate picking against Carolina two weeks in a row, but no other option is close to being as attractive.

Previous Survivor Picks:

1.  Baltimore 25 - 9 Houston

2.  Buffalo 38 - 10 Oakland

3.  Kansas City 41 - 10 Chicago 

4.  Philadelphia 34 - 31 Washington (OT)

5.  Detroit 42 - 24 Carolina
