The 5 best prop bets for NFL Week 6

The five best NFL player prop bets to make for the upcoming week.

For this week’s picks, we have a young quarterback making a statement with his legs, two players for offenses with question marks hitting under their respective yardage benchmarks, an All-Pro wide receiver shining in prime time, and a receiver in a game expected to score six or more touchdown getting in on the act.

The 5 best bets for NFL Week 6

The five smartest wagers to take to the pay window for Week 6.

We cover all the bases this week with our picks. An underdog to win on the moneyline. A game to hit Over. A game to stay Under. A favorite to cover. A team getting too many points when looking to make a statement. All in all, it’s a nice pre-Halloween mixed assortment of betting candy.

Betting the NFL Line: Week 6

A league-wide view into the best wagers to make for NFL Week 6 action.

If those who set the NFL lines are correct, a record-setting number of home fans are going to leave NFL stadiums disappointed.

Of the 14 games on the Week 6 schedule, nine road teams are favored to win. The NFL doesn’t set the schedule based on home teams being favored, and Week 6 is the best proof of that we’ve seen this season.


Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook


San Francisco 49ers (-190) at Seattle Seahawks (+155)

The 49ers are solid road favorites (3.5 points at -110 for both teams). The 49ers have struggled out of the gate, but they have dominated their division the past few years. San Francisco will be prepared to take it to the Seahawks on a short week and climb another step out of the hole it’s dug. Take the 49ers and lay 3.5 points (-110).


Jacksonville Jaguars (+110) at Chicago Bears (-135)

The Bears are small home favorites (2 points at -110 for both teams). The Jags offense languished in September, and the Bears defense isn’t a great recipe for getting things on track. Chicago hasn’t allowed more than 21 points in a game this season, and there’s no reason to think Jacksonville will change that. Take the Bears and lay 3 points (-110).


Arizona Cardinals (+180) at Green Bay Packers (-225)

The Over/Under on this one is high (47.5 points at -110 for Over and Under). These are two or the more all-or-nothing offenses that can look like world-beaters one week and amateurs the next. This game screams of big plays and taking chances, which always lends itself to points. Take Over 47.5 points (-110).


Indianapolis Colts (+110) at Tennessee Titans (-125)

The Colts opened as one-point favorites and now they’re 2.5-point underdogs. That’s a big shift. It might mean Jonathan Taylor doesn’t play and the line-setters know it. Tennessee is brutal, and the Colts can’t start 0-3 in their division while expecting to have a sniff of the playoffs. Take the Colts on the moneyline (+110).


Houston Texans (-350) at New England Patriots (+260)

The Texans are big road favorites (7 points at -110 for both). The Drake Maye era begins, and Houston’s defense is going to make enough plays exploiting the debut to give C.J. Stroud a couple short-field opportunities. Take the Texans and lay 7 points (-110).


Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-190) at New Orleans Saints (+155)

The Buccaneers are solid road favorites (3.5 points at -110 for both teams). With Spencer Rattler getting the start, the veteran Bucs defense will have a field day. Take the Buccaneers and lay 3.5 points (-110).


Cleveland Browns (+350) at Philadelphia Eagles (-450)

The Eagles are the biggest favorite of the week (9 points at -110 for both). The Eagles are coming off their bye and should be at full strength, but nothing about the last 11 games says Philly should be favored by that much. Take the Browns plus 9 points (-110).


Washington Commanders (+240) at Baltimore Ravens (-300)

The Ravens are big favorites (6.5 points at -110 for both teams). Until somebody completely shuts down Jayden Daniels, I’m staying on the train that giving almost a full touchdown cushion is too much. Take the Commanders plus 6.5 points (-110).

[lawrence-related id=494318]


Los Angeles Chargers (-155) at Denver Broncos (+130)

The Chargers are 2.5-point road favorites Denver’s defense doesn’t get the credit it deserves, and it doesn’t deserve to get points at home on the “we dare you to bet on them” mantra. LA’s offense is still a work in progress. Take the Broncos on the moneyline (+130).


Pittsburgh Steelers (-160) at Las Vegas Raiders (+135)

The Steelers are decent road favorites (3 points at -110 for both teams). The Raiders have shown nothing to think that they can cover this number and score 13 points. That’s what they seem to be capable of, and that isn’t enough. Take the Steelers and lay 3 points (-110).


Detroit Lions (-160) at Dallas Cowboys (+135)

The O/U is the biggest of the week (52 points and -110 for both the Lions and Cowboys). There are too many scenarios by which the offenses take over the game and don’t let up. There may be 80 passes thrown in this one. Take Over 52 points (-110).


Atlanta Falcons (-275) at Carolina Panthers (+220)

The Falcons are strong road favorites (6 points at -110 for both teams). The Panthers are a team in flux at the moment, and the Falcons had a pretty stiff list of opponents to start the season. This should be the Falcons’ chance to not have a one-score game. Take the Falcons and lay 6 points (-110).


Cincinnati Bengals (-185) at New York Giants (+150)

The Over/Under is pretty stiff (48 points and -110 for both Over and Under). The Giants have played ugly at home, so a lot of points on their end doesn’t make a lot of sense. When 30-17 is still under the number? Yes, please. Take Under 48 points (-110).


Buffalo Bills (-145) at New York Jets (+120)

The Bills are favored on the road (2.5 points at -110 for both teams). Until Davante Adams shows up, the Jets offense is too punchless to protect its own turf. Days after firing their head coach, the Bills could be their worst nightmare. Take the Bills and lay 2.5 points (-110).

The 5 best prop bets for Week 6

The five best NFL player prop bets to make for the upcoming week.

As long as the NFL keeps playing games across the pond, we’ll keep promoting prop bets that start early Sunday morning and keep you engaged until late Monday night. We have a couple of running backs going above their projection, a quarterback who deserves to go under his number, and a running back who only needs one touch to cross the goal line.

The 5 best bets for NFL Week 6

The five smartest wagers to take to the pay window for Week 6.

For Week 6, our best bets start in the early-morning hours and don’t end until the day is almost over. Among the projections are a game to go Over, a game to go Under, a game based on a long history, and two huge favorites living up to why they’re giving away so many points.

Betting the NFL line: Week 6

A league-wide view into the best wagers to make for NFL Week 6 action.

The NFL is the best reality show on television, but even the best series has a clunker episode every now and then. Week 6 of the 2023 season has the makings of that with a significant lack of marquee matchups.

Of the 15 games on the this week’s schedule, only two feature two teams with records above .500 – the Indianapolis Colts (3-2) at the Jacksonville Jaguars (3-2) and the Detroit Lions (4-1) at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-1). By contrast, there are three games with both teams having losing records and 10 games with one team above .500 and the other at .500 or below.

There will be weeks this season that are full of potential playoff teams squaring off. This week isn’t one of them.

Note: Odds are provided by BetMGM Sportsbook

Denver Broncos (+425) at Kansas City Chiefs (-600)

The Chiefs are heavy favorites (10.5 points at -110 for both teams) and it may be more because of Denver’s defense than Kansas City’s offense. The Broncos have allowed 28 or more points in each of their last four games and going on the road to play the Chiefs isn’t likely to end that streak. Take the Chiefs and lay 10.5 points (-110).

Baltimore Ravens (-200) at Tennessee Titans (+165)

The Over/Under is low (40.5 points at -110 for both Over and Under), but both the Ravens and the Titans have under this total in four of five as well. This has the feel of a game decided by field goals and running the ball, not a lot of touchdowns. Take Under 40.5 points (-110).

Washington Commanders (+120) at Atlanta Falcons (-145)

The Falcons are small home favorites (2.5 points at -110 for both teams), despite having all three of their wins at home this season. After starting 2-0, the Commanders have lost three straight and allowed 34 or more points in each of those losses. The Falcons shouldn’t light them up to that extent but can run their way to a win. Take the Falcons and lay 2.5 points (-110).

Minnesota Vikings (-145) at Chicago Bears (+120)

The Vikings struggle against running quarterbacks and give up a lot of points to them. The Over/Under is in the middle of the pack for Week 6 (44.5 points at -110 for both). The loss of Justin Jefferson hurts Minnesota’s offense, but it doesn’t kill it. Justin Fields will make enough big plays to help push this point total over the top. Take Over 44.5 points (-110).

Seattle Seahawks (+125) at Cincinnati Bengals (-150)

The Bengals are trying to climb out of their annual early hole they dig for themselves and are small home favorites (2.5 points at -105 Seahawks, -115 Bengals). Joe Burrow finally looked healthy last week and, while the teams appear evenly matched, the Bengals have the better depth of personnel and big-play guys. Take the Bengals and lay 2.5 points (-105).

[lawrence-related id=482674]

San Francisco 49ers (-300) at Cleveland Browns (+240)

The 49ers have been dominant all season – scoring 30 or more points in every game and limiting opponents to 16 points or less in four of five. The Niners are a solid road favorite (7 points at -110 for both teams) but have beaten their first five opponents by 23, 7, 18, 19 and 32 points. The Browns will need to prove a lot just to cover this number. Take the 49ers and lay 7 points (-110).

Carolina Panthers (+575) at Miami Dolphins (-900)

The Panthers remain winless and have allowed 100 points in the last three games. The Dolphins are a massive favorite (13.5 points at -110 for both teams) but have earned it by outscoring their opponents 101-38 in their first two home games. Carolina just can’t compete with the firepower the Dolphins bring at home. Take the Dolphins and lay 13.5 points (-110).

Indianapolis Colts (+165) at Jacksonville Jaguars (-200)

Some division matchups have longstanding themes. For the Colts and Jaguars, it is the home team winning. Jacksonville last lost at home to the Colts in 2014. The Jags are a home favorite (4 points at -110 for both teams) and, given their history, they keep their home streak against the Colts continuing. Take the Jaguars and lay 4 points (-110).

New Orleans Saints (-120) at Houston Texans (+100)

The Saints defense has held four of five opponents to 18 points or less, including a shutout of New England last week. The Saints are small road favorite (1.5 points at -110 for both teams). Houston has showed signs of improvement and will give New Orleans all it can handle, but the Saints defense will step up again on the road. Take the Saints and lay 1.5 points (-110).

New England Patriots (+135) at Las Vegas Raiders (-160)

The Patriots offense is pathetic, and the Raiders haven’t scored more than 18 points all season. The Over/Under is low (41.5 points at -110 for both the Over and Under) but not low enough for these teams. Take the Under (-110).

Arizona Cardinals (+240) at Los Angeles Rams (-300)

The Rams have been a hard team to figure out. They gain a lot of yards, but more drives end up with field goal attempts (16) than touchdowns (11). They are a strong road favorite against the Cardinals (7 points at -110 for both teams), but you can’t trust a team that scores field goals and give away a touchdown. Take the Cardinals plus 7 points (-110).

Philadelphia Eagles (-300) at New York Jets (+240)

The Eagles are a solid road favorite (7 points at -110 for both teams) but remain overshadowed by the 49ers. The Jets have kept the Bills and Chiefs under this point spread but have struggled against the run, and the Eagles love to run over opposing defense. Take the Eagles and lay 7 points (-110).

Detroit Lions (-175) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+145)

The Lions have been on a roll with wins of 14, 14 and 18 points in their last three games. The Bucs are 3-1 and coming off their bye week. The Over/Under is reasonable (43.5 points at -110 for both teams). There is just too much offensive talent on both teams for this not to get into shootout mode at some point. Take Over 43.5 points (-110).

New York Giants (+575) at Buffalo Bills (-900)

Two teams headed in opposite directions. The Bills are a massive favorite (14 points at -110 for both teams) for good reason. The Giants’ four losses have come by 40, 18, 21 and 15 points. Buffalo’s last three wins have come by 28, 34 and 28 points. History repeats itself for both teams. Take the Bills and lay 14 points (-110).

Dallas Cowboys (-135) at Los Angeles Chargers (+115)

When the Cowboys win, they win big, but being humbled by the 49ers last week left a sour taste in their mouths. Dallas is a small road favorite (2.5 points at -110 for both teams). The Chargers have had close games every week, which lends itself to Brandon Staley making the bonehead decision that costs them a game. He obliges again this week. Take the Cowboys and lay 2.5 points (-110).
