NFL, 49ers and Rams
Digest more
So I'm supposed to be giving you some picks for Week 6 right now, but before that can happen, I need to make sure that CBS Sports hasn't banned me from making picks after what happened in Week 5. I had my worst week of the season and it wasn't close.
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner appeared on the "Manningcast" on Monday, and he dropped a hilarious line about Lions coach Dan Campbell.
This is why Jones was the best signing in the NFL this offseason. He's playing like a high-level veteran starter, and he's getting paid like a backup. The fact that the 49ers can get this type of production from a journeyman such as Jones means that they should think long and hard before spending big money on a quarterback in the future.
It's already Week 6 of the 2025 NFL season. Here's a look at expert predictions, picks against the spread and odds for every game on the schedule.

NFL insider completely shuts down the idea of a 49ers QB controversy
The San Francisco 49ers have gone 3-0 with Mac Jones and 1-1 with Brock Purdy, and now some are asking if the team should change their starter.
The most improved rookie on the 49ers through five games has not been first-round pick Mykel Williams, nor has it been third-round pick Upton Stout.
The Saints just spent a second-round pick on Tyler Shough, so theoretically, they've already made a draft-capital investment in the quarterback spot under new head coach Kellen Moore. But Shough is still a total unknown sitting behind Spencer Rattler, and odds are New Orleans will be eyeing a further restocking of the position come 2026.
