NFL Week 6 Games to Bet Before the Lines Move
Just like that, we're past the quarter mark of the NFL season.
It's time to get ready for Week 6 action, which will kick-off on Thursday night between the Chicago Bears and Washington Commanders.
If your goal is make money longterm by betting on the NFL, one of the most important things you can do is bet on games early in the week before the lines move. That will hopefully give you a better line compared to what it closes at.
To help you out, here are three Week 6 games that you should bet on before the lines move.
3 Games to Bet On Before Lines Move
Dolphins +3 vs. Vikings
The biggest question surrounding this game is the Dolphins QB situation. If Tua Tagovailoa or Teddy Brdigewater are announced as the starter on Sunday, expect this line to move within three points. As you probably know, three is a magic number when it comes to betting on football. If you can take an underdog at three points before it dips to 2.5 or below, that will give you a huge advantage.
If you think Tua or Teddy will start this week, take their number now before it moves.
Jets +7 vs. Packers
The line between the New York Jets and Green Bay Packers opened at Packers -7.5, and it has already moved down to -7. If you want to back the Jets to cover the spread against Green Bay, do it now before it dips below the magic number of seven. If it has already moved down a half point, I wouldn't be shocked if it moves another half point to -6.5.
The Packers defense hasn't lived up to expectations, and is actually being outperformed compared to the Jets defense so far this season. After losing to the Giants outright in Week 5, what makes you think they can cover a touchdown spread in Week 6?
Cardinals -2.5 vs. Seahawks
The Cardinals have largely been a disappointment this season. Sure, they have a ton of talent, but their record hasn't reflected that. With that being said, now is a good time for them to bounce back when they take on the worst defense in the NFL in the Seahawks.
If you want to back Arizona, I'd suggest doing it now before the line moves to -3. Once it moves to -3 and beyond, the value will be lost on the Cardinals as the spread crosses the key number of three. If you're a believer in Kyler Murray, bet them now before it's too late. The line has already moved to -3 at some books.
