2013 NFL Picks: Every Game, Week 6
A quick look at every game on the NFL schedule for Week 6, along with the consensus picks of Athlon Sports' editors.
Giants (0-5) at Bears (3-2)

Packers (2-2) at Ravens (3-2)
Baltimore lost its beloved pregame-dancing linebacker who wore No. 52. Now Green Bay has to cope with the loss of its own post-sack-dancing No. 52, Clay Matthews (broken thumb). Packers by 4

Steelers (0-4) at Jets (3-2)
Uber-confident Ryan Clark will be quick to point out to his Blitz-burgh teammates that the Steelers are playing at the site of Super Bowl XLVIII. Steelers by 2
