In the second game of the NFL’s trip to London, the Miami Dolphins face off against the Jacksonville Jaguars at 9:30 AM in this NFL game today. It is do-or-die time in Miami after dropping four games over the past five weeks. QB Tua Tagovailoa returns from injured reserve after fracturing some ribs in Week 2. There should be a considerable gap in talent in this game. However, the Dolphins have played well below what was expected. This is a chance to right the ship before things are too far gone.
Green Bay Packers (4-1) at Chicago Bears (3-2)

This NFL game today between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears kicks off at 1 PM ET. The Bears are riding a two-game winning streak with rookie QB Justin Fields starting under center. But the Detroit Lions and Las Vegas Raiders don’t quite match the offensive power of the Green Bay Packers. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has bounced back nicely from his Week 1 dud, and the Packers are on a four-game win streak of their own. Will Green Bay end Chicago’s streak while extending theirs to five in a great NFC North battle?
Cincinnati Bengals (3-2) at Detroit Lions (0-5)

- Hulu + Live TV
- fuboTV
- YouTube TV
The Cincinnati Bengals head to Ford Field to take on the Detroit Lions in this NFL game today. The Bengals lost an overtime heartbreaker to the Packers in Week 5. Cincinnati should have no issue dispatching this Lions team. The Bengals’ defense is playing well, and the offense is growing every week. The Lions have made valiant efforts so far this season but will fail to find their first win of the season in Week 6.
Houston Texans (1-4) at Indianapolis Colts (1-4)
- Channel: CBS
- Start time: 1 PM ET
- Live stream:
- Sling
- Hulu + Live TV

This AFC South matchup between the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts kicks off at 1 PM. These teams are tied for second in the division thanks to a winless Jacksonville. Texans rookie QB Davis Mills turned heads with his performance against Bill Belichick and the Patriots in Week 5, but Houston came up short in the end. Colts QB Carson Wentz seems to be turning a corner and should take advantage of a subpar Texans defense. This game will probably surprise some people, but the Colts get the win.
Los Angeles Rams (4-1) at New York Giants (1-4)
- Channel: FOX
- Start time: 1 PM ET
- Live stream:

The Los Angeles Rams head to MetLife Stadium to take on the New York Giants in this NFL game today. The Giants suffered heavy losses to the offense in Week 5. QB Daniel Jones went down with a concussion, WR Kenny Golladay hyperextended his knee, and RB Saquon Barkley sprained his left ankle. Jones cleared concussion protocol and will play in Week 6, but Barkley and Golladay remain out. The Rams bounced back from their Week 4 loss with a win against the Seahawks and should cruise to 5-1 against a depleted Giants roster.
Kansas City Chiefs (2-3) at Washington Football Team (2-3)
- Channel: CBS
- Start time: 1 PM ET
- Live stream:
- Sling
- Hulu + Live TV
- fuboTV
- YouTube TV
This NFL game today between the Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Football Team kicks off at 1 PM ET. QB Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs continue to struggle this season after an ugly 38-20 Week 5 loss at home against Buffalo. They get a chance to bounce back against a Washington defense that has struggled mightily this season. This will be a high-scoring game between two teams with bad defenses, but Mahomes should put this out of reach.
Minnesota Vikings (2-3) vs. Carolina Panthers (3-2)
- Channel: FOX
- Start time: 1 PM ET
- Live stream:
- Sling
- Hulu + Live TV
- fuboTV

This NFL game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Carolina Panthers kicks off at 1 PM today. Vikings RB Dalvin Cook returns after aggravating his right ankle injury in Week 4. Meanwhile, Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey remains out with a hamstring injury. Carolina has played well on both sides of the ball this season, but Minnesota’s offense is like a powder keg. It can explode at any minute. Minnesota’s offense goes off in Week 6, moving to 3-3 on the season.
Los Angeles Chargers (4-1) vs. Baltimore Ravens (4-1)
- Channel: CBS
- Start time: 1 PM ET
- Live stream:
- Sling
- Hulu + Live TV

QB Justin Herbert and the Chargers have been impressive this season. Rookie head coach Brandon Staley has ice in his veins when it comes to fourth-down play-calling. This matchup is easily one of the best games in Week 6. Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is willing the Ravens to wins, and this matchup against the Chargers’ defense is tantalizing. However, Herbert is also playing on another level and will lead Los Angeles to a Week 6 victory.
