The Week 6 NFL slate is full of great matchups. Here are my favorite bets for these games at DraftKings Sportsbook.
NFL Week 6 Best Bets
Titans -2.5 vs. Colts
The Colts are likely to be without Jonathan Taylor and Michael Pittman Jr., which leaves their offense very short-handed for this game. Anthony Richardson is returning at QB but Joe Flacco has actually been way more efficient than Richardson was when he played. The Titans’ defense is incredibly underrated. They rank fifth in the NFL in EPA/play and should be able to shut down the Indianapolis offense. The Titans’ defense should propel them to victory here.
Jets +8/Eagles -2.5 6-Point Teaser
The Jets are in a must-win spot and their defense is one of the best in the league. They have done really well against Josh Allen in their home stadium over the past two years and should be able to limit the banged-up Bills offense. Teasing them over a touchdown is a great route to go in this game as this game should be very close.
The Eagles are coming off a bye week and are facing a Browns team in total turmoil. The Browns are dead last in the NFL in EPA/play on offense and Philadelphia should shut them down. The Eagles are getting healthier on offense and Jalen Hurts’ mobility should help against the Browns’ pass rush, which has been the only strong part of their team.
Steelers -3 at Raiders
The Steelers have lost back-to-back close games but this is a good bounce-back spot for them. The Raiders are making a quarterback change and that puts Aidan O’Connell in a really tough spot because the Steelers have one of the league’s best defenses. The Steelers’ defense is fourth in the league in rush EPA and they will take away the run game completely. They will be able to force the Raiders into obvious passing downs and that is when the Steelers’ pass rush can get after O’Connell and force mistakes. Mike Tomlin should rally the troops and get a huge win in this spot.
Packers/Ravens Moneyline Parlay (-109)
The Packers are finding their rhythm with Jordan Love back at quarterback and picked up a big win over the Rams last week. Now the Packers head back home, where they are incredibly hard to beat, against a Cardinals team that is just missing something. Kyler Murray is playing pretty well but the Cardinals are missing something on both sides of the ball. They rank 26th in defensive EPA/play and their offense isn’t quite good enough to win the shootouts they keep getting themselves into. Love and the Packers should have too much firepower and win this game.
The Ravens are taking on the Commanders on Sunday. Jayden Daniels and the Commanders have the best offense in the league at the moment but they have also been on a run of easy matchups when it comes to the opposing defense. The Ravens are a whole new test for the rookie QB as John Harbaugh’s team has historically dominated rookie QBs. The Ravens also have one of the best offenses in the league and should be able to attack the Commanders’ defense, which has some major issues on the back end.
Saints +3.5 vs. Buccaneers
Spencer Rattler is making his first career start in place of an injured Derek Carr. Rattler has a ton of experience from college and looked really impressive in the preseason. He earned this spot over Jake Haener, who was the backup QB entering the season. Alvin Kamara is having a monster season and that should take a lot of the pressure off of the rookie QB. The Buccaneers’ defense is 25th in the NFL in EPA/play and Rattler should be able to attack that secondary. Meanwhile, the Saints have the seventh-best defense in the league by EPA/play and should be able to limit what Baker Mayfield wants to do.
