BlueBet previews the NFL Week 6 action below. Read on for our best bets per game and an overview of the feature games this week.
Philadelphia Eagles at Carolina Panthers
Date: Friday 10:25 am. Venue: Charlotte
Odds: Panthers $1.54, Eagles $2.56
The Panthers host the Eagles on Friday at Charlotte. We'll provide a betting preview of the game below.
Form Guide:
The Eagles are in great form as they've started the season with a 4-1 record. They've won three straight games since a close loss against the undefeated Chiefs on the road. Last week they dominated the Cardinals at home in a 34-7 scoreline.
The Panthers are also 4-1 and they've won two straight games. They beat the Lions in Detroit by 3 points and defeated the Patriots in Foxborough on the last play of the game. But they were well beaten in Week 3 at home as the Saints scored 34 points, so they'll need to improve against the Eagles.
Head to Head Record:
The two sides last met in 2015 and the Panthers won at home by 11 points. Overall since 2012, the Panthers lead 2-1.
Point Spread:
We're looking at the second point spread, with the Eagles +3.5. They're 6-2 ATS in the last 8 games and they covered the line in the last road game. The Panthers are just 4-6 ATS at home and they lost by 21 in the last home game. They've also played in two straight 3 point margins, so we would take the Eagles +3.5.
Best bet: Eagles +3.5 ($1.87)
Total Points:
The total points for this game is 46.5 points and the Eagles are 4-1 against the over this season. They average 27.4 ppg and Carson Wentz is throwing the ball well this season. While the Panthers are 4-1, the defence has allowed 24+ points in the last 3 games. They're also 3-0 against the over total. So we would take the over 46.5 points total on Friday..
Best bet: Over 46.5 points ($1.96)
Tip:
Panthers ($1.54)
This game will likely come down to the last quarter and we would back the home team (Panthers) with Cam Newton getting the job done. The Eagles aren't a great road team and the Panthers have knocked off the Lions and Patriots in recent weeks.
New York Giants at Denver Broncos
Date: Monday 10:30 am. Venue: Denver
Odds: Broncos $1.17, Giants $5.40
The Broncos host the Giants on Monday at Denver. We'll provide a betting preview of the game below.
Form Guide:
The Giants are at huge odds to beat the Broncos and for good reason. They sit at 0-5 and they will now be without Odell Beckham Jr and Brandon Marshall in the passing game. They already rank in the bottom half of the NFL for points scored per game and this won't help Eli Manning on the road in Denver.
The Broncos are coming off the bye and the defence will be ready for the Giants. They rank 1st in the NFL for rush yards allowed, so Manning won't be able to lean on the run. Denver are 4-0 at home and they've beaten the Raiders twice and the Cowboys/Chargers in those 4 games. The only loss this season was a 26-16 scoreline in Buffalo.
Head to Head Record:
Since 1992, the Broncos are 3-0 against the Giants at home. Since 2001, they're 3-1 overall and they've won the last two meetings. The last time they met was back in 2013 and the Broncos won by 18 points.
Point Spread:
Denver are 11.5 point favourites to beat the Giants and they're a good chance. They beat the Cowboys in Week 2 at home by 25 points as they won 42-17. We can't see the Giants scoring over 17 points against the Broncos D either. The Giants are also 1-6 on the road and 1-5 ATS in Denver. So we're taking the Broncos to cover the large line.
Best bet: Broncos -11.5 ($1.96)
Total Points:
The over total is 4-2 in the last 6 meetings between the two sides. In the last meeting, the total reached 64 points in a 41-23 score. The over total is 4-2 in the Giants last 6 road games and in the Broncos last 6 games overall. So back the over total here.
Best bet: Over 38.5 points ($1.91)
Tip:
Broncos ($1.17)
We can't see the Broncos losing this one. The Giants have to many injury concerns and the Broncos had the bye last week.
Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans
Date: Tuesday 10:30 am. Venue: Nashville
Odds: Titans TBA, Colts TBA
The Titans host the Colts on Tuesday at Nashville. We'll provide a betting preview of the game below.
Form Guide:
The Titans' season has hit a roadblock as they've lost two straight games. They were without Marcus Mariota in a 16-10 loss against the Dolphins. They'll be hoping he can return on Tuesday against the Colts.
The Colts won another close game in Week 5 as they beat the 49ers in Overtime at home. They sit at 2-3 and this is an important game for the AFC South. Andrew Luck is out again as well.
Head to Head Record:
The Colts have absolutely dominated the Titans since 2010 as they have a 13-1 record against them. The last time the Titans beat them was back in 2011 at Nashville. Since then, the Colts are 5-0 against them on the road.
Point Spread:
The Colts are 10-1 ATS versus the Titans and 4-1 ATS on the road against them. So when the line is available, take the Colts.
.
Best bet: Colts -3 (TBA)
Total Points:
Both teams are missing first-string Quarterbacks so we're expecting a lower scoring game than usual. Because in the last two meetings at Nashville, the total has reached 60 or more points. The last overall meeting was a 24-17 scoreline so we would expect around the same total of 40 points in this clash.
.
Best bet: Under 42 Points (TBA)
Tip:
Colts (TBA)
It's hard to back against the Colts 13-1 record against the Titans and a 5-0 record on the road against them.
