Week 6 prop bets picks
Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 8:30 a.m. ET.
Titans WR A.J. Brown UNDER 59.5 receiving yards (-114)
MVP-favorite Josh Allen and Buffalo will draw the Titans, who are led by RB Derrick Henry. The Bills have the second-best pass defense in the NFL. Henry is on pace to be the league’s all-time single-season rushing leader. He’s used more than any other back in the league, and he produces.
That causes QB Ryan Tannehill and the pass game to oftentimes be an afterthought. With Brown coming back from injury, potentially playing limited snaps over the next several weeks, his involvement may be lower than usual.
Tannehill has had under 250 yards in three of five games. Even in the first two weeks when Brown combined for 17 targets, he failed to top 50 yards.
Betting against a player continuing his comeback from injury in a rush-heavy offense feels like a great value, and for this one, it is.

Vikings QB Kirk Cousins UNDER 260.5 passing yards (-120)
Buffalo and Carolina are the only two teams that allow under 200 passing yards per game for their opponent, and Carolina is the only team in the league that allows under 165 yards through the air.
The Vikings have consistently struggled, beating the Detroit Lions on a game-winning field goal and losing to the Cincinnati Bengals this season.
The Sam Darnold-led Panthers side has impressed, and with the addition of three-time All-Pro CB Stephon Gilmore, they should be able to tame WR Justin Jefferson and the Vikings attack. Also, with RB Dalvin Cook back, Minnesota will likely look to put it on the ground more often.
All this spells trouble for Cousins, who has hit 260 yards or more in three of five games. However, against Carolina, he’s in for a tough battle which he could easily come out as the loser in.

Patriots QB Mac Jones OVER 26.5 completions (-108)
The Cowboys are giving up the most receiving yards to opponents in the NFL, and the Patriots are starting to trust Mac Jones more. That combination should bode well for the rookie.
Jones has hit at least 29 completions in three of five games this season. He’s also hit over 70 percent of his attempts in four of five. On top of that, the Patriots will likely be playing from behind against a top-tier Cowboys side.
Expecting the Pats to be throwing to get back into the game and an offense already reliant on Jones, expect the young quarterback to get going early.
Considering he was the most accurate quarterback coming out of college, the young gun should be able to slice up the Cowboys’ weak passing defense. I’d be on it.
