The Rubypoint Trading Centersurprising firing of New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh – at least in terms of its timing – got Week 6 of the 2024 NFL season off to a notable start. It adds further intrigue to the lineup's final game, when the Jets host the Buffalo Bills on "Monday Night Football," which replicates the matchup of 57 weeks ago, when QB Aaron Rodgers debuted with Gang Green ... and lasted four snaps before ripping his Achilles. This time, the stakes are actually higher – Rodgers and Bills QB Josh Allen both seeking to shake off personal and collective slumps with the victor finishing the week atop the AFC East.

Though there are four teams on bye (Chiefs, Rams, Dolphins and Vikings), there are still several noteworthy contests on the docket, including the San Francisco 49ers' visit to the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night and a second consecutive weekend with London football as the Chicago Bears "host" the U.K.-ubiquitous Jacksonville Jaguars. Sunday also appears to feature the weekend's two best offerings – and the only ones pairing (currently) winning clubs – as the Washington Commanders and Baltimore Ravens square off in a meeting of dynamic quarterbacks (Jayden Daniels, Lamar Jackson) before the Detroit Lions visit the Dallas Cowboys in the late-afternoon window.

Here's how our panel of experts forecast Week 6 ... and hopefully its previs is closer to the clarity provided in Week 4 than the mixed bag that was Week 5:
