NFL Week 6 upset alert: Can Titans beat TD-favorite Colts? Will rested Bucs upset Steelers?
CBS Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- NFL game outcomes can be heavily influenced by scheduling factors such as rest disparities, especially around bye weeks and international games, which may lead to potential upsets.
- Houston Texans, coming off their first win and with a strong defensive showing, face Jacksonville Jaguars in London, where the Jaguars' red zone struggles and Trevor Lawrence's poor record against Houston could favor an upset.
- Tennessee Titans are underdogs against the Indianapolis Colts, but the Colts' weak defense and offense may allow the Titans to keep the game close or pull a surprise win despite Tennessee's poor offensive stats.
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers, benefiting from extra rest after a recent upset and facing a potentially distracted Pittsburgh Steelers, could leverage their strong run defense and Aaron Rodgers' historical struggles against coach Todd Bowles to secure a win.
- Buffalo Bills playing on short rest after an intense Monday night game face the Las Vegas Raiders, whose offense might exploit a fatigued Bills defense that already ranks poorly in points and yards allowed.
