NFL Week 6 early odds Patriots favored b

The AFC East showdown between the and this week isn't expected to be much of a showdown, at least according to oddsmakers.Despite the fact that the Jets have won three games in a row and now have the same record as the Patriots (3-2), New England opened as a 9.5-point favorite for the Week 6 showdown at MetLife Stadium. Of course, when you think about the fact that a team quarterbacked by is going up against a team quarterbacked by , a 9.5-point spread actually doesn't seem that big.Although the Patriots regularly beat up on the Jets, you might want to think twice before you bet money on the Pats to cover the spread. Sure, the Patriots are an impre sive 6-2 straight-up against the Jets since the beginning of the 2013 season, however, they're just 1-6-1 against the spread. The Patriots are one of five teams in Week 6 -- along with the , , and --that are favored to win by nine or more points. Two of the teams favored big this week, the Broncos and Falcons, are both coming off a Week 5 bye. Although we regularly see point spreads hit the nine-point mark, it's rare to have five of them in one week. The last time we had five or more point spreads shoot up to nine or higher in the same week came in Week 17 of the 2015 season. So who else is favored to win big in Week 6?Let's get to the Harold Carmichael Jersey odds and find out.NFL Week 6 early odds (4-1) at (4-1), ThursdayOpening line: Panthers, -3 pointsCould we be looking at a preview of the NFC Championship with this game? There's only three 4-1 teams left in the NFC and two of them will be playing in this Thursday night game. The Panthers have owned the NFC East over the past four years, going 6-1 straight-up against the division since 2013. This game will feature two of the hottest quarterbacks in the with (league-high 355 pa sing yards in Week 5) and (NFC-high four TD pa ses in Week 5). Although Wentz has been good in his short career, one thing the Eagles haven't done well with him under center is cover the spread as a road underdog. Since Wentz's rookie year in 2016, the A.J. Brown Jersey Eagles have gone 3-5 ATS as a road underdog, which ranks an ugly 27th in the NFL over that span. Both teams are 3-2 ATS in 2017. (2-2) at Falcons (3-1)Opening line: Falcons, -9.5 pointsIf there's one thing the Falcons haven't done well under Dan Quinn, it's cover large point spreads. Since Quinn was hired in 2015, the Falcons have been a total of 11 times and they're an ugly 2-9 ATS in those games (6-5 straight up). Of course, if the Falcons offense goes on a roll in this game, it's hard to imagine the Dolphins keeping up. Miami is averaging an NFL-worst 10.25 points per game. Also, the Dolphins haven't won in Atlanta since 1980. (4-1) at (2-2)Opening line: NO LINEFor the fourth straight week, oddsmakers have decided not to give the Vikings an opening line, and that's mainly because no one seems to have any idea if Tarron Jackson Jersey going to play. If Bradford plays on Monday night against the (and makes it out of the game in one piece) that almost certainly means he'll be starting against the Packers. With Bradford under center, the Vikings went 1-1 against the Packers in 2016. (3-2) at (2-2)Opening line: Saints, -3.5 pointsThis is the third season in a row that the Lions have been an underdog heading into New Orleans, and if this game goes anything like the first two, then the Lions are going to walk away with a win. In 2015, the Lions went on the road and beat the Saints 35-27 in a game where New Orleans was favored by 2.5. In 2016, the Lions easily covered as a 6.5-point underdog when they beat the Saints 28-13. Including those two lo ses to the Lions, the Saints are just 4-7-1 ATS as a home favorite since 2015, which is one of the worst marks in the NFL over that span. On the other hand, if you're looking for a reason to bet against the Lions, they're just 6-11 ATS after a lo s since 2015.Patriots (3-2) at Jets (3-2)Opening line: Patriots, -9.5 pointsIn what has suddenly turned into the most unexpected showdown of Week 5, we're getting a battle for first place in the AFC East that somehow involves the Jets. One thing to watch out for in this game is the health of , and not for the reason you think. Betting the Patriots might actually make more sense if Gronk is out. Since the beginning of last season, the Patriots are 12-0 straight-up in games where Gronk doesn't play.49ers (0-5) at Redskins (2-2)Opening line: Redskins, -9 pointsOne of the safest bets in football over the past two years has been betting against the 49ers when they play in the Eastern Time Zone. Since the beginning of the 2015 season, the 49ers have gone 0-9 straight-up in Eastern time and 1-8 ATS, including Sunday's lo s to Indy. The nine lo ses have come by an average of 15.9 points per game. Of course, if the 49ers are going to finally come through with a win out east, the Redskins would be the team to beat. The 49ers have won four in a row against the Redskins. By the way, although the 49ers are an ugly 0-5 on the season, they haven't been a bad team to bet on, going 3-2 ATS. Bears (1- Cris Carter Jersey 3) at (3-2)Opening line: Ravens, -7 pointsThe Ravens have been absolutely dreadful going up against NFC opponents over the past two seasons. Since the start of 2015, the Ravens are 2-6 straight-up against the NFC and just 1-6-1 ATS, which ranks 29th in the NFL over that span. Basically, betting against Baltimore in a non-conference game has been the closest thing to a lock that Jerome Brown Jersey you can get when betting on the Ravens. The Bears have been the exact opposite, going 6-3 ATS in non-conference games, which ranks seventh in the NFL since 2015. Of course, maybe you shouldn't bet against the Ravens and that's because the Bears have never beaten them in Baltimore. This game will mark only the third time in franchise history that the Ravens have hosted the Bears in Baltimore, with the Ravens winning each of the first two games. (0-5) at Texans (2-3)Opening line: Texans, -10.5 pointsAlthough the Browns are currently a double-digit underdog in this game, this line could take a jump in their direction over the next several days due in large part to the fact that Texans suffered some ugly injuries in Week 5. (leg) in Week 6, but they'll also be mi sing linebacker (chest), who was injured in the Texans' lo s to the Chiefs. As for the Browns, they could be starting a new quarterback in this game. was pulled for in Week 5 and there's a chance that coach Hue Jackson could decide to stick with Hogan. Of course, it might not matter who the Browns start: Cleveland is 1-4 ATS this year, which is the worst mark in the AFC. Also, the Browns haven't beaten the Texans since 2007. (2-2) at (2-3)Opening line: Pick'emThe Cardinals are the only team in the NFL this year that hasn't covered the spread in a single game (0-5 ATS). Of course, that doesn't mean the Buccaneer
