Week 6 NFL preview: Where do we go from here?

Which teams have been the most surprising in the NFL so far and where are they going the rest of the season?

Week 6 is here, and the NFL season continues to race along toward January. The first five weeks of the season have included more than a few surprises, and the only thing we can guarantee about the weeks ahead is that there will be even more surprises.

SB Nation’s NFL crew sat down this week to talk about the state of things in professional football. They also threw in some fantasy football advice which is just bound to help your chances this week and down the stretch.

Among the topics explored:

  • Which teams with a winning record right now will not be in the playoffs?
  • Will San Diego or Denver claim the AFC West?
  • Are the Steelers now the third-best team in the AFC North?
  • Which teams will sneak into the NFC wildcard spots?
  • Which team's kicker is the top option in fantasy football this year?
  • The best receivers you've never heard of.
