NFL - My 5 Best Bets for Week 6
Seattle Seahawks (4-2) @ New York Giants (1-5) @ MetLife Stadium
BET = New York Giants +4.5 ($1.90)
The Giants are the sort of team that can lift for a few weeks off the back of their shock upset win in Denver. The Giants’ defence played at an elite level holding the Broncos to 10 points, and their offence was able to run the ball effectively. The Seahawks often flatter to deceive on the road so, even if they scramble home in this game, I think it will be tight. I think the Giants are a genuine chance of an upset win.
New Orleans Saints (3-2) @ Green Bay Packers (4-2) @ Lambeau Field
BET = New Orleans Saints -4 ($1.90)
Aaron Rodgers is the Green Bay Packers, so I'm struggling to see how they are going to adjust to life without him. Now, we know nothing about Brett Hundley who will make his first NFL start on Sunday. Despite the fact I expect the Packers to be competitive at home, I think the Saints are flying right now coming off 3 straight victories. Their offense looks high powered and, with their defence at least showing signs of improvement, I think they can win this game by a touchdown or more.
Dallas Cowboys (2-3) @ San Francisco 49ers (0-5) @ Levi Stadium
BET = Dallas Cowboys -6 ($1.90)
The Cowboys have stumbled and bumbled their way to a 2-3 record without being terrible so far. All the games they have lost have come against in-form and strong opponents. The 49ers are not either of those and, despite being on the road, I expect the Cowboys to make light work of them here. Dallas really needs a kick start to their season, and I think they can win this game by a couple of touchdowns.
Denver Broncos (3-2) @ Los Angeles Chargers (2-4) @ StubHub Stadium
BET = Over 39.5 Total Match Points
These sides met back in Week 1 and the game was quite high scoring with the Broncos getting home 27-24. The Chargers have finally got a bit of life back in their season, winning the past 2 games, so I expect them to really give the Broncos a run for their money here. Two of the three Chargers’ home games have gone over 40 total match points.
Cincinnati Bengals (2-3) @ Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2) - Heinz Field
BET = Over 41.5 Total Match Points
These 2 sides have high-powered offences when at their best and they’re showing signs that they are about to get it together. The Bengals have won their past 2 games after a terrible start to the year, with Andy Dalton finally finding a bit of rhythm. The Steelers will be desperate to atone for their terrible offensive showing against the Jaguars at home two weeks ago. Over 41. 5 total match points seems generous for mine.
