Week 6 NFL Betting Lines and Game Previews

Week 5 of the 2015 NFL season is in the books and not much has changed. In the AFC, there are still three undefeated teams – the New England Patriots (4-0), Cincinnati Bengals (5-0) and the Denver Broncos (5-0). In the NFC, the Green Bay Packers and Atlanta Falcons stand at 5-0 and the Carolina Panthers are at 4-0. The Kansas City Chiefs lost again (1-4), but more importantly have lost Jamaal Charles to a season ending knee injury (torn ACL). Other disappointing teams include the New Orleans Saints (1-4), Dallas Cowboys (2-3), Philiadelphia Eagles (2-3) and the Baltimore Ravens (1-4). It’s still early in the 2015/16 season. Momentum will change and injuries will continue to shift the balance of power as we move ahead.

There are four teams on their bye in Week 6:

  • Dallas Cowboys
  • Oakland Raiders
  • St Louis Rams
  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

There are also a number of interesting betting matchups in Week 6:

  • Division rivalry games – Falcons at Saints (Thursday Night Football), Bears at Lions, Texans at Jaguars, Giants at Eagles
  • 1-3 Philadelphia Eagles are 5 point favorites at home vs the 1-3 New Orleans Saints
  • 4-0 New York Jets are laying 6 at home vs the 2-3 Washington Redskins.
