NFL Week 6 Betting Trends for Every Team, Every Game (Can Eagles Crack Down on Covering Cowboys?)
By Ben Heisler
By now, you've probably heard at least a dozen times that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is an underdog at home for the first time in 41 starts.
Yet despite his 7-0-1 record against the spread, several sportsbooks kept moving the line in favor of the Buffalo Bills on the road, as sharp money poured in to back them.
Sometimes betting trends help highlight unique angles and advantages within a game. Other times, they end up being moot.
Last week, the Pittsburgh Steelers were the largest underdogs in franchise history since the AFL/NFL merger following their blown lead and straight up loss to the New York Jets at home. They had lost three straight and hadn't lost four in a row since 2016. Via Evan Abrams, teams that lost to the Jets over the last 11 games went on to go 2-9 ATS the following week. Sure enough, the Steelers couldn't cover a 14-point spread on the road vs. the Bills, getting demolished 38-3.
What are the most notable betting trends to help you get a leg up in your wagers for Week 6 in the NFL?
