Hard to believe we're already at Week 6. About to be a third of the way through the 18-week season. And we've got the worst for first this week. Commanders at Bears. The game was bad enough on its own, but both franchises are adding insult to injury with some of the worst uniforms in football.

Avert your eyes. Ladies and gentlemen, the Better Off Blind Bowl!

A quick note on methodology.

As always, I’m analyzing every NFL uniform matchup and picking a winner against the spread based on who dresses best. And just because a team’s wardrobe is ranked higher in the Power Rankings doesn’t mean that it will automatically win the uniform matchup. It’s what you wear in the instant matchup that counts.

And don’t forget the Triple Mismatch Club wrinkle. I’m making three unit plays whenever the best dressed team in the matchup is a member of the Club (different colored helmet, jersey, and pants). And nine unit plays if both members of the week’s best matchup are members.

Week 5 Recap.

Before we get to Thursday Night Football and Week 6 Fantasy Plays, let’s revisit Week 5:

8-8. Not the monster week we were hoping for, but .500 at last. Baby steps. Let's keep this train moving in the right direction.

Thursday Night Football Uniform Matchup (and Worst NFL Uniform Matchup of Week 6).

It's the moment we've all been dreading. When the Bears revealed the blinding, orange-on-orange monstrosities, I knew that a terrible mistake had been made. It was bad enough when the Bears tried to force the orange* jerseys down our throat, but orange helmets were a bridge too far. What's so frustrating about their choice is that there are plenty of examples in NFL history of orange helmets and orange jerseys not working.** Classic case of "just because you can, doesn't mean you should." When I reviewed the schedule before the season and saw that the Bears would be unveiling this look against the Commanders, I knew it would be a lock for worst of the week and the leader in the clubhouse for worst of the year. Fire this one into the sun.

As for the actual product on the field, it's not like it gets any better. Dress for the job you want is more like dress for the game you're gonna get this week. Wentz at Fields? Yuck. With all of that said, I have hope this may turn into one of those "so bad that it's good" situations. The Commanders delivered on the under as part of the worst matchup last week, but 38 points is an awfully low bar to stay under. In the uniform gods we trust.

*Anyone else have an issue with the Bears wearing orange jerseys more recently than the Buccaneers?

**The Browns are the most glaring example and the most similar to what the Bears are doing here. The 1960s Broncos also tried the combo as part of a comically bad look. And the Bengals orange-on-orange look is the worst outfit in their wardrobe.

The Pick: Under 38 (-110)

Club SDR - Week 6 Fantasy Plays.

I got greedy last week. Thought the wrongs of the biggest Single Digit Revolution disappointments could be undone by a couple of Anytime TD props. I should've listened to the signs from the uniform gods when Kyle Pitts was declared out for the week. With Travis Etienne and Elijah Moore failing to deliver, we're down to 7-7 on the Club SDR prop bet season. Back to the drawing board.

Drake London - Over 48.5 Receiving Yards (-115)

It would feel wrong to not have an Atlanta Falcon on our list of players this week with the triumphant return of the red throwback helmets. I've run out of patience with Kyle Pitts. So Drake London is the choice here. London has impressed in his rookie campaign and has the makings of a true WR1. He's averaging 7.8 targets per game and has cleared the number in three out of five games this season. I think he makes it four out of six against the 49ers.

Leonard Fournette - Over 59.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

The Fournette fantasy explosion finally arrived last week. And I except him to keep the party going against the lowly Steelers. While he has not cleared the number since Week 2, I expect the Buccaneers to have a comfortable lead in this one. And that means a healthy dose of running the ball to ice the game.

Ken Walker - Over 59.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

Ken Walker burst onto the scene in relief of the injured Rashaad Penny last week - going for 88 yards and a touchdown on only 8 carries. With Penny now out for the year, Walker becomes the clear RB1 in Seattle. He becomes a key piece in one of the surprisingly best offenses in the league this year, and heavy usage is imminent. I expect this number to climb in the coming weeks.

Bets Dressed Week 6 coverage continues this Sunday with a breakdown of the full slate (plus Monday Night Football).

Look for the Sunday issue to hit your inbox before the early window kick. As I’ve noted previously, we live in a world without a uniform scheduling czar, so it’s sometimes a chore finding out a team’s wardrobe ahead of time. In instances where it’s not 100% clear, I’ll make a best guess and update the issue later.
