NFL Picks Week 6: 4 Teams You Can Bet the House on
Betting on football games can get pretty frustrating, especially when we're having such an odd season thus far.
Other than a few locked-in games, with some new teams on the rise in each conference there's only a few Super Bowl contenders that really stand out, as opposed to recent history.
But, with each passing week the picture becomes more clear, and picking who to bet on becomes less stressful.
Therefore, here are four teams you can bet the house on in Week 6.
Click the link for a full view of the Week 6 NFL line.
Green Bay Packers (vs St. Louis Rams)
1 of 4Rams (Underdog) at Packers (Favorite): Line -15
The Rams are 0-4, the Packers are 5-0. The game is in Green Bay, take the cheese-heads.
15 points is really only a two TD differential, and based on how both teams have performed thus far in 2011, St. Louis won't come within 20 points, let alone 15.
Green Bay is much healthier than last season, has an improving pass defense, and can move the ball however they want on offense.
St. Louis is still in a rebuilding state with quarterback Sam Bradford, but he's really all they have on offense.
Too many injuries on the Rams and the Packers are simply too talented regardless.
Green Bay 56, St. Louis 13
Baltimore Ravens (vs Houston Texans)
2 of 4Texans (Underdog) at Ravens (Favorite): Line -7.5
This is an intriguing line because apparently the "powers that be" who create the NFL line think the Houston defense will keep within one score of the Ravens.
Baltimore virtually has no issues at this point, while Houston is without their two best players in wide receiver Andre Johnson and linebacker Mario Williams.
Without Johnson on offense, Baltimore safety Ed Reed is going to have a field day against the Texans passing offense, and RB Ray Rice will bowl over the Houston rush defense in Williams' absence.
Not to mention the game is in Baltimore, where the Ravens have already dominated both the Steelers and Jets.
Baltimore 30, Houston 14
Buffalo Bills (at New York Giants)
3 of 4Bills (Underdog) at Giants (Favorite): Line -3.5
Honestly not sure how the Giants are favored in this game.
Sure the Bills blew a lead on the road in Cincinnati, but it was a blessing in disguise as they now have that experience under their belts. It won't happen again—at least not this quickly.
And although New York's offense can move the ball fairly well, they're don't move it fast enough to keep up with Buffalo.
With running backs Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller, Buffalo has a much better two-back tandem than New York does.
Defensively both are very weak, but the difference comes in the form of forcing turnovers, where the Bills have a major advantage.
It will be a rather high scoring affair, but Buffalo wins a road game in their home state.
Buffalo 35, New York 27
Pittsburgh Steelers (vs Jacksonville Jaguars)
4 of 4Jaguars (Underdog) at Steelers (Favorite): Line -12
Defeating the then 3-1 Tennessee Titans at home 38-17 was a big confidence boost to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The defense stepped up big in shutting down Chris Johnson and the offense moved the ball almost flawlessly against a solid Tennessee defense.
This week The Steel Curtain gets a visit from the 1-4 Jacksonville Jaguars, who have a rookie quarterback under center in Blaine Gabbert.
Expect defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau to blitz him all day while keeping eight in the box to shutdown running back Maurice Jones-Drew.
Offensively the Steelers will start off slow as the Jags' have a respectable defense, but since Jacksonville be backed up all day, Pittsburgh pulls away in the second half thanks to their own defense.
Steelers 33, Jaguars 13
