NFL Week 6 odds, picks, best bets, spreads: Bo Nix and Broncos extend winning streak, Bears prevail in London

As the calendar flipped to October, so did our good fortunes with the gambling gods. After a lackluster opening month of the season, the tides have turned — albeit for the moment — with my best week of 2024 thus far. If you followed each of my five locks of the week, you have a bit more coin in your bankroll, thanks to a perfect 5-0 run in Week 5. 

We pinpointed that Week 5 would be the week Jacksonville would get its first win, Miami would roll into Foxborough and bury the Patriots, Chicago would slay the Panthers at home, Denver’s defense would thump the Raiders, and the Packers would get a road win against the Rams at SoFi Stadium. Can’t ask for much more than that. Well, outside of doing it again. 

We’ll look to keep that positive momentum going into Week 6 and claw above .500 across the board, beginning with my five locks of the week. 

Note: Kansas City, Los Angeles (Rams), Miami, and Minnesota are on bye in Week 6.

Texans at Patriots 

As we noted last week, the Patriots are not a good football team. In fact, they might be the worst team in the league. New England is averaging 12.4 points per game this season, which would be the third-lowest in franchise history. Even with Jerod Mayo making the switch from Jacoby Brissett to Drake Maye for this game, it still doesn’t change the problems this team has along the offensive line. Entering Week 6, the Patriots are allowing the highest pressure rate in the league (46.2%). This week, they face a Texans defense that ranks sixth in the NFL in sack rate. Oh, did we mention they have a powerhouse of an offense led by C.J. Stroud? If the Pats couldn’t keep pace with Tyler Huntley, what makes us think they can keep pace with Houston? 

Projected score: Texans 30, Patriots 13
The pick: Texans -7

The same logic we applied to last week’s…
