If you’ve been sporting a sweater more often or digging out the Halloween decorations, those should be your cues to pay closer attention to the NFL weather reports each week.
The change in season brings with it bustling winds and driving rain, which can have a notable impact on the outcomes of NFL games and should be considered when handicapping the NFL odds.
Week 6 NFL odds is shaping up to be the first real “weather” week of the 2023 season. Several showdowns have less-than-perfect settings, and odds will start adjusting to those forecasts as we get closer to kickoff.
Here’s a rundown of the weather to watch for when making your NFL picks in Week 6.

The Sunday Night Football odds are dishing up the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings in Week 17.
It’s a real showdown with both teams chasing a playoff spot. While the Lions may have clinched the NFC North, we have both the Vikings and Packers at 7-8 in the mix.
That means the men under center will be under a ton of pressure, but how will they respond?
With that in mind, we’re diving into the Jordan Love odds to find the best NFL picks for SNF. Be sure to also check out our Packers vs. Vikings preview and SNF prop picks for more great wagers!

The Baltimore Ravens’ season began on a disappointing note as less than an inch separated Isaiah Likely from a potential game-tying touchdown in a tight Week 1 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, but they’ll have a golden opportunity to feast on the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 2.
Looking every bit the part of a terrible offense last week, my Raiders vs. Ravens predictions have the Raiders offensive struggles continuing in a low-scoring game.
Let’s get right into our NFL Picks for September 15, 2024.

Joe Cole has suggested Fabio Capello was not fully committed to his role as England manager and criticised the Italian for referring to David James as “Calamity”.
In an interview with the Guardian this month, Capello said England had “played without conviction” during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa as they were eliminated by Germany in the last 16. But Cole, who came on as a substitute in the 4-1 defeat against Joachim Löw’s side in Bloemfontein, has questioned whether Capello fully embraced his role in the same way as the incumbent England manager, Gareth Southgate.

Christian Eriksen’s return will rightly take centre stage at Brentford Community Stadium. Anything he can produce in his minutes on the pitch would be a bonus. This has the feel of a classic six-pointer and the Bees will be in what had once seemed an unlikely battle against the drop if Newcastle take the points. Newcastle are unbeaten in six and will fancy themselves for another huge win that would drag them towards safety. Nick Ames

The former Sunderland academy player Jak Alnwick kept his old club at bay before Mark McGuinness headed home a late winner for the improving Cardiff at the Stadium of Light.
The 30-year-old goalkeeper, who left Sunderland to join Newcastle in 2008, made a string of fine saves to frustrate Tony Mowbray’s men. And with three minutes remaining the centre-back McGuinness headed in the only goal of the game to make it four wins from five for the visitors. That was enough to bring an end to Sunderland’s five-match unbeaten and they remain fifth in the Championship.

It is not very English to win semifinals at major tournaments. Glorious defeat is kind of their thing, and has been for decades. It is even less English to fustigate an opponent at that stage. And it is not English at all to do it with a swagger and panache that goes beyond taking the largest amount of piss possible out of whomever you’re playing. Alessia Russo didn’t much care for what’s English and what isn’t, as she put the sword to Sweden like this yesterday in the W Euro 2022 semi (won by England, 4-0): That would be the definition of cheeky, and not something seen out of any England player…well, ever. And it wasn’t an odd moment, as it was far more exemplary of the swashbuckling nature that England played with yesterday and for most of this tourney. Sweden was the h…
Oh, anonymous sources … you've done it again. Those crazy "web logs" have reported that at least six football players failed pre-draft drug tests, which the players naturally deny. So whose pants are on fire? At different times last week, NFLDraftbible.com—your source for draft bibles!—reported that Raji, UTEP kicker Jose Martinez, Florida wide receiver Percy Harvin and Illinois cornerback Vontae Davis all tested positive for marijuana. They also said that USC linebackers Clay Matthews Jr. and Brian Cushing had failed tests for steroids. Various representatives for most of the players have denied those rumors. In fact, the agents for Raji (who also work for Matthews) were quite adamant about it, offering a very lengthy and detailed rebuttal. "Last Thursday, at …
By now you are entirely on board with Iceland, the most surprising, most exciting, most likable team at the European Championship. More Jörmungandr than minnow, Iceland is still undefeated and has now dispatched Austria and England in consecutive matches. After each win, the team has celebrated with the massive Icelandic contingent on hand with a clap-chant, led by captain Aron Gunnarsson: That’s fantastic. It’s hard to see our large Nordic sons keeping the magic going in their quarterfinal date with host France, but the entire world is rooting for them—and win or lose, this is the nation’s greatest accomplishment since the Prose Edda. …
