Week 6 NFL betting guide, props, spreads: Model, expert, parlay, DFS and season-long fantasy picks unveiled
SportsLine's team of Vegas experts and its proven model and experts to get you ready for Week 6 NFL betting
There's another heavy slate of inter-conference matchups to place Week 6 NFL bets on as there's only one Sunday divisional game. Patriots vs. Saints (+3.5), Colts vs. Cardinals (+8.5), Jaguars vs. Seahawks (-1.5) and Chiefs vs. Lions (+2.5) on SNF are just some of those contests, while if searching for a larger Week 6 NFL spread, there's Bengals vs. Packers (-14.5), with Joe Flacco making the start for Cincy. You could not only target these games with football picks or a Week 6 NFL parlay, but the stars that make up those teams like Stefon Diggs, Jonathan Taylor, Patrick Mahomes and Jahmyr Gibbs could factor into NFL DFS picks, in Week 6 Fantasy football lineups, or in NFL player props.
A Week 6 NFL betting guide would cover all bases and help make your betting slip a profitable one. Being aware of statistical trends, recent injuries, how weather affects teams and other factors all should be a part of your NFL betting strategy, but that's lots to keep track of on your own. If you are looking for NFL picks, NFL parlays, Fantasy football rankings or NFL DFS picks for Week 6, SportsLine has you covered with its proven model, Machine Learning Model and team of experts.
