NFL betting guide, Week 6: Panthers and Eagles are smart wagers

Week 6 of the NFL season is here and it’s time to make money. Read on to discover the five wagers that can make you rich this week.

This isn’t a great week of NFL action from a gambling perspective. There are quite a big lines which typically mean you should stay away. It’s hard to make money with double-digit lines on the table.

That doesn’t mean it’s a hopeless slate though. There are five games we like this weekend. This isn’t an opportunity to bet a ton of money on several games, instead you should plan on being efficient. Stick with us and you’ll find a way to scratch out solid winnings.

For the first time all season, we actually like the Thursday night game as a wager. Let’s start by taking a look at who you should take when the Eagles take on the Giants.

5. Take the Eagles -3

To put it mildly, we just don’t think the Giants are very good. They came very close to pulling off a big upset on Sunday at Carolina, but Graham Gano’s 63-yard field goal put an end to those hopes. We really don’t like their chances of recovering from that emotional blow on a short week.

The game also happens to be a must-win for the Eagles. Carson Wentz seems to be getting back into the groove after his knee injury and that’s really bad news for a Giants defense that doesn’t feature much of a pass rush.

The New York secondary is talented, but they can’t cover guys for the time required in this game.

This isn’t a game where you should tease the line though. It’s always possible that Odell Beckham Jr. and Saquon Barkley can make enough plays to keep this game relatively close. Three is a solid line, but you should like the Eagles enough to make a moderate play.
