What Are the Top Picks for NFL Fans to Bet on for Week Six?
As we reach Week Six, we’re getting close to halfway through the season. As we watched the NFL this season, we have seen highs and lows of each team. At this point, you are able to see the trends and use the law of averages. Here are two strong bets for Week Six.
Denver Broncos vs. New York Jets
Denver Broncos -6.5 (-130)
The Denver Broncos go into the matchup as a touchdown favorite in a neutral-site game played in London. The Broncos' defense has been great this season, allowing only 16.8 points per game, which ranks second in the NFL, while the Jets' offense ranks 20th in points per game. The Jets' defense has been terrible all season, along with their offensive inefficiency. In a rowdy London affair, it’s going to be hard for the Jets to move the ball and get first downs versus the Broncos' top-notch defense.
Detroit Lions vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Patrick Mahomes Over 4.5 Rushing Attempts (-130)
The Kansas City Chiefs play the Detroit Lions at home on Sunday Night Football this week. The Chiefs lost to the Jaguars, so Patrick Mahomes is determined to win this affair. The strongest line in this matchup would be Mahomes' rushing attempts. One of the reasons it’s a strong play is that the Lions play man coverage on 42.2 percent of snaps. This ranks as the fourth highest in the NFL. Another reason is that Mahomes hits that line in every close game they’ve played this season. In both one-possession games this season, he hit that line in both games, and this game should also be one as well. Overall, this game should be a shoot-out, and you wouldn’t want to miss a lock so strong.
As we enter Week Six, each team has something to prove. Make sure to look at the lines because there are some strong and weak ones. You should bet the Broncos spread in a neutral site versus a below-average Jets team or take Mahomes' rushing attempts at home versus Detroit. If you parlay the bets together, the odds will be +198. This means that if you bet $100 on this, then you will be paid $298.
