Week 6 of the NFL is rapidly approaching for Sunday's slate!

All throughout the week, our team at BetSided has compiled individual game previews for every matchup, along with our favorite prop bets, anytime touchdown scorers, parlays and more!

With so much to choose from, we've taken several of our best prop bets for this Sunday and put them all together, all on one page.

Here are our top three favorite prop bets for today's slate of games in Week 6 of the NFL.

NFL Week 6 Best Prop Bets

  • CIN @ NO: Joe Burrow to Throw an Interception (+102)
  • NE @ CLE: Rhamondre Stevenson Anytime Touchdown Scorer (-120)
  • DAL @ PHI: Miles Sanders OVER 65 Rushing Yards

Joe Burrow to Throw an Interception

The Bengals have hung tough in nearly every game this year, with their three losses all coming on a last second field goal to win the game.

Perhaps what's even more impressive is that Joe Burrow has kept the team afloat despite almost no protection from his offensive line.

Via Sharp Football Analysis, the Bengals average, "a league-low 4.4 yards per play on first down and still a league-low 4.4 yards per play including first and second down plays." This puts Cincinnati consistently in third-and-long situations, which should let the Saints' pass rush start licking their chops.

And yes, Burrow's numbers against the blitz are amongst the best in the NFL over his career. But guess what, the Saints don't often blitz at all, choosing to send four, where Burrow has struggled throughout his career.

Even though New Orleans hasn't generated the sacks that most top defenses have so far this year, they also rank top 10 in DVOA vs. the run and top 13 vs. the pass. Especially with the Bengals' offensive line issues, I think this is a get-right spot for the Saints' defense today in the dome. - Ben Heisler

Rhamondre Stevenson Anytime Touchdown Scorer

It's Rhamondre Stevenson's time to shine for the New England Patriots this week now that he has the lead role with Damien Harris out with a hamstring injury. Last week, he was exceptional with 161 yards on 25 carries, but just didn't score a touchdown.

This week, I think he does. Cleveland has been terrible vs. the run, allowing the third-most yards per carry (5.3) and the third-most rushing touchdowns (eight) through Weeks 1-5.

Stevenson is the Patriots' most reliable option in the red zone, and also has 13 catches this season. Even if he doesn't run one in for six, he could certainly catch one as well. - Peter Dewey

Miles Sanders OVER 65.5 Rushing Yards

With all the experts discussing how good the Dallas Cowboys' defense is, they do have one key issue that the Eagles could take advantage of tonight on Sunday Night Football.

Dallas ranks 21st in the NFL in opponent yards per carry, allowing teams to average 4.7 yards per rush. Jalen Hurts has gotten the spotlight, but Sanders has also looked very good this season.

If the Eagles are able to exploit that weakness, look for Sanders to have a big game at home. - Iain MacMillan
