Headliners: NFL Week 6 Preview
Brees, Ryan and Rivers; All three step up in Week 6
"Saints stay undefeated against Giants"
New York Giants at New Orleans (1 p.m. EST - Sunday - FOX)
Commentators: Gus Johnson, Steve Tasker
This is the highlight game on Week 6's calendar. Early storylines will emphasize the fact that both New Orleans (4-0) and New York (5-0) are undefeated and it's an early (and I would emphasize "early") litmus test for the early NFC favorites. I would guarantee you'll here "potential NFC Championship game preview" at least once.
Each team's respective quarterbacks, Drew Brees and Eli Manning, will be under the microscope and the storyline for the winner will be the same no matter which player/team nabs the victory - their QB is the leading candidate for MVP and the team looks "poised to make a deep playoff run." In the feisty Superdome, I think the Saints have a few more prayers answered.
"Falcons offense continues potent performance"
Chicago at Atlanta (8:20 p.m. EST - Sunday - NBC)
Commentators: Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth
The build-up for this game will be the offenses, with the likes of "big-name" players such as Jay Cutler, Matt Forte, Michael Turner, Matt Ryan, Tony Gonzalez and Roddy White on the field and the Falcons coming off a drubbing of a respectable 49ers club. I think the game will live up to the hype, with a lot of points put up on the scoreboard. The difference will be a handful of errant Cutler throws (that Collinsworth will surely point to) and Atlanta's dome cookin'.
"Not so fast; Chargers hand Broncos first loss"
Denver at San Diego (8:30 p.m. EST - Monday - ESPN)
Commentators: Ron Jaworski, Mike Tirico, Jon Gruden
San Diego has had the burden of great expectations in what has been a mostly pathetic division the last few seasons. Now, Denver sits 5-0 and the Chargers are at risk of dropping back three games in the loss column. Most of the praise will deservedly be heaped on Josh McDaniels and Kyle Orton for the jobs they've done amidst off-season chaos.
But San Diego is more desperate, playing at home and has a quarterback in Philip Rivers that is 5-1 in his career against Denver. They get the victory on Rivers' arm in a game that the men on the pre-game show will say "San Diego has to win."
