NFL Week 6 Betting Preview

Patriots (-3.5) vs. Seahawks

This is a Patriots team that could perhaps be more dangerous than ever. They found their true running backs in Stevan Ridley and Brandon Bolden, and Tom Brady is the same MVP caliber quarterback that he was 7 months ago. Seattle's strength is running the ball with Marshawn Lynch, however the Patriots defense has surprised everyone with their ability to stop the run, as they currently rank 8th in rushing defense, against a schedule that included Ray Rice, CJ Spiller, and Chris Johnson. If the Seahawks can't run on the Pats, they will struggle even more through the air. They rank 31st in passing offense, and if they fall behind a score, it's likely that they won't be able to ever get back. The Pick: Patriots -3.5 for 3 Units

Cardinals -5 vs. Bills +5

5 points is an awful lot for a team that ranks a horrendous 25th in passing offense and 31st in rushing. Buffalo themselves are not a very good football team, but atleast they can run the ball, as they rank 5th in rushing. Meanwhile, the Cardinals "spectacular" defense is average according to the statistics, as they rank 18th in pass defense and 14th in rushing defense. The Cardinals should win this one at home, but 5 points is way too much.  Bills +5 for 1 Unit

Vikings -1.5 vs. Redskins

Vikings are the better team, but the Skins are at home. This one is truly a tossup, especially with RGIII performance being completely unpredictable a week after suffering a concussion. Stay Away

San Francisco (-7) vs. Giants (+7)

No, this line isn't as off as you may think. I would say something closer to -5 for the Niners, but in reality, this game is not far from a pick'em. This a big stage for the Giants, and Eli loves the big stages. San Francisco's defense is an elite one, but shutting down an offense that will finally have its  players healthy, with Nicks, Barden, and Bradshaw slated to play, is asking too much of this defense. The Giants rank 3rd in their aerial attack that didn't include Hakeem Nicks for a large part of the season, so look for them to test the Niners secondary. If Eli can keep the turnovers down, the Giants should cover.  The Pick: Giants +7 for 3 Units
