NFL Picks Week 6: Game-by-Game Advice for Current Vegas Spreads

Week 6 of the NFL season leaves something to be desired in terms of marquee matchups, but Las Vegas adds an element of interest to any game.

There are only three contests pitting teams with winning records against each other (the Philadelphia Eagles against Washington, the Atlanta Falcons against the Seattle Seahawks and the Dallas Cowboys against the Green Bay Packers), but point spreads can serve as the great equalizer.

With that in mind, here is a look at the lines and predictions for each Week 6 game. Point spreads are courtesy of Odds Shark as of Monday at 5:30 p.m. ET.

                                                                 

Advice/Predictions for Each Game

Denver Broncos at San Diego Chargers (DEN -2.5) 

Von Miller and the rest of the Denver Broncos defense will prove too formidable for the 1-4 San Diego Chargers.

Following Sunday’s action, Denver ranked sixth in the league in yards allowed per game, fifth in points allowed per game and tied with Minnesota for first in sacks. With a defense like that, this point spread feels low.

Take the Broncos.

                                     

San Francisco 49ers at Buffalo Bills (BUF -7) 

The Buffalo Bills have won three straight games, one of which was a 16-0 victory over the New England Patriots.

On the other side, Adam Schefter of ESPN noted San Francisco 49ers coach Chip Kelly and his staff were still deciding who will be the quarterback between Blaine Gabbert and Colin Kaepernick on Monday.

The 49ers’ quarterback controversy will overshadow their preparation for the game, and they will lose after traveling all the way to the East coast.

Take the Bills.

                                           

Philadelphia Eagles at Washington (WAS -1.5)

The Eagles are coming off their first loss and will look to bounce back in a critical NFC East showdown with Washington. The advice here is to trust Carson Wentz against a defense that was 27th in the league in yards allowed per game after Sunday’s contests.

Take the Eagles.

                                             

Cleveland Browns at Tennessee Titans (TEN -5.5)

The Cleveland Browns are the only NFL team without a victory, and that won’t change in Week 6. 

The Tennessee Titans are coming off a 30-17 win over the Miami Dolphins and dropped two narrow, seven-point games to the Oakland Raiders and Houston Texans before that. They are right in contention in the wide-open AFC South and will not take a step back against an overmatched opponent.

Take the Titans.

                                                 

Baltimore Ravens at New York Giants (NYG -3)

The Baltimore Ravens’ 3-2 record is fool’s gold with two of the wins coming against the Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars, who are a combined 1-8.

The New York Giants have dropped three straight, but they will bounce back against a beatable opponent on their home field.

Take the Giants.
