Football Betting: NFL picks for
Week 6 - Home Underdogs
Betus Pressbox
Articles
Aside from the
New England Patriots-Dallas Cowboys game, it’s a pretty ugly schedule this
week. For NFL betting purposes, though, it doesn’t
matter. Win pretty, win ugly – the money
pays the same.
Here are the home dogs for this week:
Cincinnati Bengals @ Kansas City Chiefs (+4)
I can’t go on the Chiefs right now – I
have firmly believed them to be one of the worst
teams in the NFL already and now with an injured
starting quarterback, Damon Huard and a quarterback
controversy brewing, I don’t like the Chiefs.
They haven’t been able to run the ball
on anybody – except a San Diego Chargers
defense that didn’t show up – and
the Bengals off of a bye week should be able
put all their efforts to stop the run. Even so,
the Bengals offense should be able to move the
ball with ease on the Chiefs, who have seemingly
lost their advantage of playing at Arrowhead
Stadium.
NFL Free Pick: Bengals -4
Philadelphia Eagles @ New York Jets (+4)
This one is really
simple: the Eagles are a passing team and the
Jets can’t pressure
the quarterback. Look for Donovan McNabb to have
his second-strongest week of the season (he won’t
play better than he did versus the Detroit Lions)
after the team’s bye week. The Jets are
also mired in a quarterback controversy as many
fans are calling for backup, Kellen Clemens.
The Eagles will get right on the road this week.
NFL Free Pick: Eagles -4
New England Patriots @ Dallas Cowboys (+6.5)
I’m stuck on road favorite this week – there
is no way you will convince me to take the Dallas
Cowboys in this game. No, it has nothing to do
with their Monday Night Football performance.
It has to do with the fact that they are generally
a sloppy team (one of the most penalized team
in the NFL and one of the sloppiest with giveaways).
The Patriots prey on these types of mistakes.
Furthermore, the Cowboys have played soft competition
all year long and I’m not sold on their
run – or pass – defense. Terrell
Owens sparking Randy Moss wasn’t a good
idea.
NFL Free Pick: Patriots -6.5
New York Giants @ Atlanta Falcons (+4.5)
The Atlanta Falcons are a different team at
home than they are on the road, which is why
I have no qualms taking the points with them.
Monday Night Football at the Georgia Dome should
be rocking and Joey Harrington should reassert
himself this week after getting benched a week
ago. The Giants pass rush will have to be the
difference if they win, but the Giants are not
the same team on the road as they are at home.
Keep an eye on Eli Manning, who still is not
an elite quarterback and will have to look over
his shoulder to keep tabs on Falcons defensive
end, John Abraham.
NFL Free Pick: Falcons +4.5
