NFL Week 6 Opening Odds: Falcons, Patriots, Broncos Road Betting Favorites

If five of the NFL’s remaining six unbeaten teams are going to stay perfect in Week 6, they will need to find a way to win on the road.

The unbeaten Atlanta Falcons will kick off the action on Thursday night when they visit the New Orleans Saints as three-point road favorites at sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark.

The Falcons might have a tough time in this NFC South matchup, as they have dropped seven of the past nine meetings in New Orleans and the Saints are 5-2 against the spread in their last seven games as home underdogs.

The Cincinnati Bengals, Denver Broncos, Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots will also play away from home while the Green Bay Packers host the San Diego Chargers. Of that group, the Bengals, Broncos and Patriots are favored, and the Panthers are seven-point underdogs visiting the Seattle Seahawks.

Cincinnati (-2) is the smallest favorite, traveling to face the Buffalo Bills, followed by Denver (-4) at the Cleveland Browns and New England (-7.5) at the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday night.

The Patriots have one less victory because they have already had their bye week, but they are 3-0-1 ATS with three straight covers since pushing in their season-opening win against the Pittsburgh Steelers as seven-point home favorites.

The Colts are hoping to have starting quarterback Andrew Luck back under center after he missed the last two games due to a shoulder injury.

Keep in mind, this is a revenge spot for Indy following the team’s 45-7 loss to New England in last year’s AFC Championship Game. However, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will likely be fired up as well because that game also sparked the whole Deflategate controversy that originally got him suspended.

New England is a remarkable 17-2-1 ATS in the past 20 games at Indianapolis according to the OddsShark NFL Database.

Denver will be facing a Cleveland team coming off of a huge 33-30 road victory in overtime against the Baltimore Ravens last week. The Broncos are 4-0 straight-up and ATS in the past four meetings with the Browns, who are 5-1 versus the line in their last six games as home dogs.

Cincinnati is 2-10 SU and ATS in the past 12 meetings with Buffalo, and the Bengals have also dropped six of their last eight games SU before their bye.
