The San Francisco 49ers are absolutely on fire, hitting Week 6 with a sparkling 5-0 record, a run they solidified last week with a massive 32-29 win right here in Seattle. Now, they’ve got their eyes set on becoming the NFL’s first 6-0 team of the season when they face off against the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football. This team is looking unstoppable, and that win in our city just added fuel to their dominant start.
California Teams Are All Over the Map in Week 6
While the 49ers are riding high, the rest of the California NFL landscape is a mixed bag, to put it lightly. On one end, you’ve got the Los Angeles Chargers, who are off to an absolutely brutal 0-5 start this year. Can you believe it? This is the same team that went 11-6 and snagged a playoff spot last season! Now, they’re desperate for their first win, but it won’t be easy facing the 4-0 Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday afternoon. The Chiefs are coming off a bye and are already looking like Super Bowl contenders after a rough 6-11 finish in 2025. The SportsLine Projection Model only gives the Chargers a 21% chance to win, with Kalshi markets showing a Chargers win at $0.22 and a Chiefs win at $0.79. It’s a tough road for them right now.
Then there are the Los Angeles Rams, who entered the season touted as a top Super Bowl contender themselves. They’re sitting at 2-3 after dropping a tough one in overtime to Buffalo on Monday. They’ll try to climb back to .500 when the Arizona Cardinals roll into town. The Cardinals are 1-4, only snagging a win in Week 1, and their defense has been a real problem lately. The SportsLine model likes the Rams a lot in this matchup, projecting them to win 76% of the time. On Kalshi, a Rams win is trading at $0.88, while a Cardinals win is at $0.13.

The 49ers’ Hot Streak Continues on MNF
The big story for Week 6, though, is absolutely the 49ers. After that 32-29 showdown in Seattle, they are heading into Monday Night Football as one of the league’s hottest teams. Their opponent, the Washington Commanders, had a very different Week 5 experience, completely botching the clock management in overtime against New York and ending up with a stunning tie. So, you’ve got a red-hot 49ers team, sitting at 5-0 and hungry to make history, going up against a Commanders squad that just can’t seem to get out of its own way. The Kalshi markets show the 49ers heavily favored at $0.78 for a win, with the Commanders at $0.23. The stage is set for San Francisco to potentially become the NFL’s first 6-0 team this week.
