Oct 12, 2012 03:43 PM EDT

Week 6 presents some captivating matches in NFL's schedule.

We bring you the Top 5 must watch games of Week 6. Starting with an obvious choice, last season's NFC Championship matchup.

New York Giants vs. San Francisco 49ers
It will be defense versus offense as one of the NFL's top defensive squads host a quarterback on a mission, carrying his team on his arm. 

The 49ers host the Giants on Sunday for their first meeting after a disappointing loss in the 2011 playoffs. You better believe the 49ers will be their hardest on Sunday. Kickoff is at 4:25 p.m. ET/1:25 p.m. PT.

Green Bay Packers vs. Houston Texans
Last season's most dominant NFL team will face this year's, supposed best team in the league. The Packers fly to Texas where they will play against Matt Schaub and Arian Foster. 

It will be the Sunday Night game and you know what that means, more primetime exposure for J.J. Watt who should the entire nation what he can do. 

It will be Watt vs. Clay Matthews. Which defensive play will finish with the most sacks? Kickoff is at 8:25 p.m. ET/5:25 p.m. PT.

Minnesota Vikings vs. Washington Redskins
This year's most surprising team in the league will take their Top 10 defensive to Washington and play against one of the most potent offensives in the league. 

It will be interesting to see how Robert Griffin III returns from his concussion. Will RGIII attack the Vikings' weakness which is passing defense and give up the run? 

Tune in on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET/3:25 p.m. CT.

Denver Broncos vs. San Diego Chargers
Peyton Manning will face an old AFC foe in Philip Rivers, but this time they are more than just opposing quarterbacks, they are divisional rivals. 

Chargers win, they increase their lead to two games. Broncos win and they are in a first place tie in the AFC West. 
This game will be played on Monday at 8:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. PT.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Baltimore Ravens
Only reason why I have this one as a Top 5 is because people probably had this one as a possible Super Bowl matchup. After their Week 4 performance however, I think many have scratched Tony Romo and the Cowboys off of their Super Bowl list, but they are still alive in the NFC East. 

The Ravens are always a fun team to watch play and plus, you can bet with your friends if they will intercept Romo more than five times.

Kickoff is at 1 p.m. ET.
