NFL Week 6 Spreads, Money Lines and Totals
The remaining two undefeated teams will not be in action when the NFL kicks off Week 6 of the 2024 schedule on Thursday night with a NFC West showdown between the visiting San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks. Kansas City and Minnesota both improved to 5-0 with inter conference wins and take their perfect records into a bye. They’ll be joined by the Miami Dolphins and Los Angeles Rams leaving 14 games on the slate for a second straight week. Only two games feature both teams with winning records and those are easily the most intriguing matchups of the week.
The first contest in the early Sunday window pits two of the most electrifying QBs in the game. The surprising Washington Commanders led by Jayden Daniels visit Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. The team formerly known as the Redskins has four straight wins and payouts and leads the NFL averaging 31 points. The Ravens boast the NFL’s best total offense averaging 447.6 yards and is second with 29.4 points per game. Not surprising the total of 53 is the largest on the Week 6 board. And the Ravens also opened as 6-point home chalk. Coming off their bye the 3-1 Detroit Lions visit the 3-2 Dallas Cowboys in the late window. Dallas has won the last six meetings and is an underdog (+3) for the first time since the teams played in the 2013 season.
There are other games on the docket with the Thursday night contest looming large in the NFC. The Niners are among the top Super Bowl favorites but have lost three of their last four games blowing second half double-digit leads in two of them. They were surprised by Arizona losing outright 24-23 as a 7.5-point home favorite on Sunday. The NFC South is going to be a dog fight to the end and two divisional matchups will loom large. The Falcons beat New Orleans and Tampa Bay in consecutive weeks and complete the trifecta as a 6-point road favorite against Carolina. The Saints have dropped three in a row and could be without Derek Carr for their tilt with the Bucs. Originally a 2-point road dog, the line moved in favor of the Bucs to -2 when Carr exited the Monday night game.

TEAMS ON BYE: Chiefs, Rams, Dolphins & Vikings
We’ve seen at least one favorite of as many as seven points lose outright in every week of the season. The trend continued in Week 5 with the Niners falling as a 7.5-point home favorite to Arizona and Seattle losing outright to the Giants at home while laying 7-points. That should make for an interesting matchup on Thursday. There’s a chance that run ends with only two teams favored by at least a converted touchdown on the early Week 6 line. Coming off a bye the Eagles are the biggest favorite spotting Cleveland nine points. Philly’s last outing was a 33-16 disaster in Tampa Bay so that gives us an idea about what oddsmakers think of the Browns.
Houston is laying 7-points for their matchup with the Patriots. The Texans have four wins by a combined 15 points and their lone setback was a 34-7 thumping by undefeated Minnesota. It’s a nice record but they have gotten some kind bounces, and those tend to even out over the course of the season. Last week was a good one for closing favorites as they went 11-3 SU and 10-4 ATS. Jacksonville was the only club that didn’t cover winning its first game of the year 37-34 as a 3.5-point favorite over Indianapolis.
Only one division has every club over .500 and that’s the NFC North. The unbeaten Vikings take the week off while the rest of the teams battle it out. The Lions have arguably the toughest test visiting Dallas. They are one of 10 road favorites on the early line laying 3-points to a club they’ve lost six consecutive games to. The Bears are 3-0 SU and ATS at home and they host the Jags as a 2-point favorite. Green Bay improved to 3-2 with a win over the Rams and stays in the NFC West with a home game against the Cardinals where the Pack is laying 5-points.
If the total of 35.5 holds for the Broncos-Chargers game it’ll be the lowest of the season. There have been 12 games with a total below 40 in the first five weeks and eight of those games cashed the UNDER. Last week the 14 games were split evenly between OVER and UNDER winners.
