We’re heading for Week 6 of the 2024 NFL season, and we’re looking for a second consecutive winning weekend on the professional gridiron.
In Week 6, we have the 2nd of 3 consecutive weekends with a Sunday morning kickoff from the United Kingdom at 9:30 a.m. ET. We have 4 teams on bye weeks with the Kansas City Chiefs, LA Rams, Miami Dolphins and Minnesota Vikings getting a much deserved rest.
Last week, we played the aforementioned Vikings against the New York Jets in London while laying the points. In the 2nd end, we backed the Washington Commanders laying the 3 points against the Cleveland Browns, and that was the easiest portion of the ticket. The Commanders breezed to a 34-13 win against the toothless offense of the Browns.
In the 3rd and final end, also in the early window like the Browns-Commanders, things were looking up. The Jacksonville Jaguars, previously winless, were laying the 3 points against the visiting Indianapolis Colts. Jacksonville entered with an 8-1 against-the-spread (ATS) mark in the previous 9 meetings, while winning 4 of the past 5 in the series outright.
Jacksonville was up just 13-10 at the break, but it went up 34-20 with 5:09 to go in regulation. However, the Jaguars defense broke down, allowing 2 TDs in the span of 1:47, including a 65-yard TD pass from QB Joe Flacco to WR Alec Pierce to tie the game at 34. The Jaguars drove the field, and PK Cam Little booted a 49-yard field goal to at least give us a push and a 2-team parlay victory.

WEEK 6
Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list of NFL odds. Lines last updated Saturday at 11:20 a.m. ET. All games Sunday and ET unless noted.
Leg 1: BEARS -1 (-110) vs. Jaguars in London – 9:30 a.m. (NFL Network)
The Chicago Bears (3-2) have QB Caleb Williams starting to play at a high level, and that’s bad news for the Jacksonville Jaguars (1-4), who will be hard-pressed to build upon last weekend’s feel-good win.
The Jacksonville offense is rather so-so, and it has struggled all season to cobble together much through the air. QB Trevor Lawrence finally had a good day in Week 5, but that was against a leaky Indy pass D. Chicago’s pass defense is air-tight, allowing just 174.0 passing yards per contest and only 17.0 PPG.
The Jaguars allow 393.4 total yards and 287.8 passing yards per game, while allowing 28.6 PPG. The passing yardage total is the worst in the NFL, and that’s music to the ears of Chicago bettors. It’s surprising to see Chicago favored by just a single point. Take advantage, and go rather aggressively on this play as a standalone wager, too.
BACK BEARS -1 (-110) to begin our Week 6 parlay with a bang.

Leg 2: BUCCANEERS -3.5 (-105) at Saints – 1 p.m. (FOX)
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-2) have had a wild week. It wasn’t terrible from a football perspective, just from a life perspective.
Hurricane Milton made landfall as a major storm just south of the Tampa area, and the football players are human. Like Tampa Bay Lightning hockey players, some Bucs players have home damage and loss of personal possessions. It’s a harrowing experience. Heck, the Tampa Bay Rays lost the roof of their stadium!
It won’t be an easy trip to face the New Orleans Saints (2-3), who will try to refocus and get back on track.
The good news for the Bucs is that the Saints will be using rookie QB Spencer Rattler for his 1st-ever NFL start, and he does so on a short week. QB Derek Carr exited the Monday night game in Kansas City with an oblique injury, and it is reportedly a multi-week sort of ailment.
The Buccaneers have won 3 of the past 4 meetings in this series, including 2 straight trips in New Orleans. Tampa has won 3 of the previous 4 visits to the Caesars Superdome, too.
BACK BUCCANEERS -3.5 (-105) for the 2nd leg of this parlay.

Leg 3: BRONCOS +3 (-115) vs. Chargers – 4:05 p.m. (CBS)
In the 3rd and final end of our 3-leg parlay, we’ll back the red-hot Denver Broncos (3-2). They haven’t been getting it done pretty, but they have been getting it done.
The Broncos have been using a lockdown defense to ride to a 3-game win streak, with the defense allowing just 34 total points, or 11.3 PPG during the span. Denver is 3-0 ATS during the run, too, while cashing in 4 of the 5 games to date.
The LA Chargers (2-2) are coming off a bye, and hopefully for the Bolts, QB Justin Herbert‘s ankle and foot issues were able to calm down. He was dealing with plantar fasciitis in the preseason, and that’s not something which easily goes away.
The offense was abysmal in the 2 games prior to the bye, going for 10 points in each game against the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Chiefs. It won’t likely get much better against a stifling Broncos D.
Go with BRONCOS +3 (-115) for the 3rd and final leg of this winning parlay.

Leg 4-*: BENGALS -3.5 (-110) at Giants – 8:20 p.m. (NBC)
*-If you want to add a 4th play to this parlay.
The Cincinnati Bengals (1-4) hit the road for the Meadowlands, and they’ll be facing a New York Giants (2-3) team which is nicked up.
The Giants will once again be without rookie WR Malik Nabers, who remains in the concussion protocol. Really, that’s the biggest concern for the Bengals defense because Nabers has the ability to spread the field, and he helps QB Daniel Jones significantly. While the latter actually rediscovered WR Darius Slayton last week for a stunning win at the Seattle Seahawks, don’t look for lightning to strike twice.
This Cincinnati team is a wounded animal, but still very, very dangerous, especially on offense. Look for QB Joe Burrow, WR Ja’Marr Chase and WR Tee Higgins to show out in Gotham.
For the bonus 4th leg, if you want to add it, play BENGALS -3.5 (-110).
Parlay payout: Bet $10 to profit $123.03 (payout = $133.03).
