Back Bengals, Titans in contests at home
Top wagering picks for NFL Week 6 based on lines from BetMGM:
Tennessee is just 2-3 straight up this season, but it is among the bestcoached teams in the NFL. The Titans are 2-0 against the spread (ATS) at home this season and obliterated the Bengals 27-3 in their last home battle. Tennessee should be a good buy-low candidate after losing to the Colts 23-16 in Week 5. The Ravens showed little composure against the Steelers in Week 5, losing 17-10 after entering the second quarter up 7-0. Baltimore lost J.K. Dobbins in Week 1 and hasn’t had the same running offense the NFL is used to seeing. The Ravens rank fourth in the NFL in rushing yards per game but they have been significantly less effective in their volume rushing this season. QB Lamar Jackson and his efforts in the run game have been amplified, and he struggled as a passer in Week 5. The Titans are one of the best teams in the NFL in limiting yards per attempt. Expect Mike Vrabel to dial up a good game plan to stop Baltimore. Back the TITANS (+3.5).
Vikings at Bears
There won’t be much defense in this game, as both teams struggle on third down. Possessions should easily be able to continue. The Vikings put up 20 on a solid Chiefs secondary in Week 5 and should be eyeing a far easier opponent in Week 6. They have scored 28, 24, 21 and 20 over the last four weeks. Against a Chicago defense that has allowed 27 or more points in four of five games and 30 or more in three of five, Minnesota should score with ease. The Vikings have also allowed at least 20 in all but one matchup. With the Bears putting up a season-high 40 in Week 5, they may start finally be able to put some pieces of the puzzle together. QB Justin Fields is a talent and ended that matchup with four touchdowns. Expect points and lots of them. Back the OVER (46.5).
Seahawks at Bengals
The Bengals are starting to figure it out, and they will be at home in this one, where they thrived last season. Cincinnati was 5-3 ATS at home last season. The Bengals covered as a 3-point road favorite against the Cardinals as Joe Burrow looked far more like himself. He threw for 317 yards and three touchdowns as Ja’Marr Chase had a franchise-high 15 receptions and 192 yards to along with all three touchdown receptions. Cincinnati’s offense is clicking, and the defense forced three turnovers as well. The Seahawks are 3-1 straight up this season and have won three in a row but have only really beaten one top opponent in a 37-31 win over the Detroit Lions in Week 2. The defense will be the problem as Seattle has allowed the 30th most yards per game (280). On the flip side, it ranks 24th in completion opponents’ percentage at 68.5%. Those numbers won’t be good enough to beat or cover less than a field goal spread against a potential Super Bowl contender on the road. Back the
