After a month of regular season football in the books, the public now knows which squads are on their “do not bet list”, mine might be longer than others, nonetheless, we should all have a better idea of who teams are after five weeks, here are my picks against the spread for NFL week 6.
Jaguars Vs. Bears (-2) (London)- If any team gets a true homefield advantage across the pond, its the Jaguars. After Caleb Williams and co has looked like a brand new squad over the last two weeks, this is a great time to get them. (Jaguars +2)
Commanders @ Ravens (-6.5)- Washington has been one of the best stories thus far, but this will be their first matchup against an elite defense. Daniels & Kingsbury have not missed a step all season, and the battle of Maryland should be a good one. (Commanders +6.5)
Cardinals @ Packers (-5.5)- Arizona is an offensive juggernaut, and Jordan Love is still figuring himself out after the Week 1 injury, I said preseason the Cardinals would be my surprise NFC playoff squad, and they win this gamr outright. (Cardinals +5.5)
Texans @ Patriots (+7) – Not much to look forward to here, New England is arguably the worst team in football, and the injury to star WR Nico Collins will hurt the Texans, but this should be a 14 point dub for Houston. (Texans -7)
Buccaneers @ Saints (+3.5) – This game makes no sense, how are the buccs only 3.5 favorites with the better team, and the Saints starting a rookie QB. This is one of those where the line looks to good to be true, and i should take New Orleans, but i just cant. (Buccaneers -3.5)
Browns @ Eagles (-9.5) – Cleveland & Watson have been the most disappointing team so far, and the Browns have a $150 million dollar guaranteed decision to make soon, Philly off a bye getting healthy, but these are alot of points. Anytime a game is over 8 i love the underdog, but the browns have become unbeatable this year. (Eagles -9.5)
Colts @ Titans (-2.5)- Another game that you wont remember by Monday afternoon, no Richardson could be a positive for Indy right now, but without Pittman and JT, i dont know how this offense scores more than 13 points. (Titans -2.5)
Chargers @ Broncos (+3.5)- Lets keep it simple, Denver does not have the roster to win four games in a row. The Chargers are coming off a bye, got much healthier, and are a better matchup than one might think for Denvers defense. (Chargers -3.5)
Steelers @ Raiders (+3)- Another low scoring matchup between two of the NFL’s most iconic franchises, thats about it though. Aiden O’Connel will get absolutely destroyed by Pitts front 7, and the Steelers get back in the W column after back to back L’s. (Steelers -3)
Falcons @ Panthers (+6) – Nothing much to say here than the Panthers are on the never bet list, i dont care if six points seems to high, I am forever done, at least this season, betting on Carolina. (Falcons -6)
Lions @ Cowboys (+3) – Dallas has a home underdog historically is a great bet, but this year they are 0-2 at home. Lions off a bye versus a beat down Dallas team that has rattled off two wins in a row, Detroit might put up 40 on them. (Lions -3)
Bengals @ Giants (+3.5)- Not sure who decided this was worth a Sunday Night Football slot, but Cincy is a great offense with a horrible defense. I still belive in them to make the playoffs though behind MVP Burrow. (Bengals -3.5)
Bills @ Jets (+2.5)- Well here we are, doomsday for New York. Teams that fire their Head Coach usually get a nice bump in play the week after, so why not again with gang green. (Jets +2.5)
