Schedule for Week 6

Big Games
D: 1977 Cowboys (4-0) at 1985 Bears (3-1)
*A big tilt in the Windy City as the Bears look to avenge their only loss so far and tie up the division lead in the process. Cowboys can move two up and essentially control any tiebreaker with the Bears at the end of the season with a win.

E: 1978 Steelers (3-1) at 1986 Giants (2-2)
*Important game for both clubs with the Bucs off for the week. Giants win, they tie up the Steelers for 2nd place in the group. Steelers win, they move into 1st while bumping the Giants further behind the Bucs.

F: 1979 Steelers (2-2) at 1987 Redskins (3-1)
*Similar to the Steelers-Giants tilt above. Steelers need to win to keep in the thick of things in the group, while a Redskin win puts them two up on the Steelers and one-half game behind idle New England.

G: 1972 Dolphins (2-2) at 1996 Packers (2-2)
*With the Patriots unbeaten and idle this week, the winner here can maintain a more realistic chance of catching the group leaders. The loser, especially if it's the Packers, will be digging a bit of a hole to get into the top two.

H: 1973 Dolphins (2-2) at 1997 Broncos (3-1)
*In the chaos of group H, the Broncos can get some separation if they can beat the Dolphins at home. A win guarantees sole possession of first for another week and also sends the Dolphins two back. Conversely for the Dolphins, a win ties them up with the Broncos and the winner of the 49ers franchise battle in a three-way mess at the top.

H: 1981 49ers (2-2) at 1989 49ers (2-2)
*The 1981 Niners cannot afford a loss here because they would be in a 2-0 hole to the 1989 team and, if Denver wins, fall two behind the Broncos. The 1989 team has a little more room for error, but the compactness of the standings means a win can potentially tie them for first while a loss can drop them all the way to fourth.

Rest of the games
A: 1966 Packers (4-0) at 1990 Giants (1-3)
A: 1974 Steelers (2-2) at 1982 Redskins (1-3)

B: 1975 Steelers (2-2) at 1983 Raiders (1-3)
C: 1968 Jets (1-3) at 1992 Cowboys (2-2)
C: 1976 Raiders (1-3) at 1984 49ers (4-0)
