NFL 2026 Season Week 6: One Bet From Every Remaining Game

As we enter Week 6 of the NFL season, the Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings, and San Francisco 49ers are the only teams yet to lose.

The Vikings will remain unbeaten as they are on a bye this week, and the Miami Dolphins are one of three teams yet to win, along with the Tennessee Titans and the Los Angeles Chargers.

How will the standings look after the Commanders travel to San Francisco on Monday night?

We highlight one bet for the remaining 13 games starting with the third and final NFL London game of the season.

Texans-Jaguars (JAC -3, 42.5): Jacksonville To Score First

The NFL says goodbye to London for another year as the Houston Texans take on the Jacksonville Jaguars, who will be playing their 16th game in the capital.

The Jaguars, who are 8-7 in London after last week's dramatic win over the Philadelphia Eagles at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium thanks to Cam Little's 57-yard field goal as time expired, have scored the first points in every game this season.

The Texans have conceded the opening points in four of their five games. 

Bears-Falcons (CHI -3, 49.5): Bijan Robinson 15+ Carries

Bijan Robinson has had 15 or more carries in all five games (21, 16, 29, 19, 17) for 580 yards, so the volume is Atlanta’s identity rather than a game-script accident.

Atlanta has rushed for 100 or more in every game, including 242 and 205 in their only two wins. With Chicago only 1.5-point favorites, the game should stay close enough for that to continue.

Chicago’s run defense has tightened: 125, 119 and 107 yards conceded in the first three games, then 59 and 70. That is the case against Robinson’s yardage, but this bet is about carries, not yards, and Chicago has scored 23-plus in three games.

He still carried the ball 17 times in last week’s 30-23 overtime loss to Baltimore, so the workload has held steady while the results have varied.

Ravens-Browns (BAL -3.5, 40.5): Both Defenses 2+ Sacks

Baltimore have recorded two or more sacks in three of five games, 10 in total. Cleveland are generous targets: 19 sacks conceded, 3.8 a game, two or more in every game, including eight against the Jets last week.

The risk is the other side. Baltimore have conceded two or more sacks in four of five games, which is why this bet asks for sacks from both defenses.

Cleveland have had two or more sacks in four of five games, totaling 16, including five against Pittsburgh and four against the Jets last week.

Baltimore’s line has conceded 11 sacks in five games, two or more in four of them. Cleveland’s own protection is the concern, with 19 conceded, but that makes this a two-way bet: both pass rushes have a real target.

Titans-Colts (IND -7, 44.5): Indianapolis To Win The First Half

Indianapolis have won the first half in three of five games and scored first in four. Tennessee have lost the first half in all five, so the matchup is as one-sided as the sheet gets.

Spencer Shrader’s 16 from 16 on field goals matters in a half decided by a few points, and Jonathan Taylor has had 15-plus carries in every game to control the clock.

Tennessee has lost the first half in all five games and every second quarter this season, scoring 23 first-half points in total while conceding 69.

They have scored first just twice, so slow starts are not entirely the story. But a team that has trailed at every half-time now faces a seven-point spread and a Colts side that has scored first in four of five.

Jets-Patriots (NE -7.5, 43.5): Jets Defense 2+ Sacks

The Jets have recorded two or more sacks in four of five games, 17 in total, including eight against Cleveland last week. New England have conceded three sacks in each of their first three games and one in each of the last two.

The Jets’ defense has only one interception, so it makes plays with pressure, which makes it the strength of this bet.

New England has conceded two or more sacks in three of five games, 11 in total, but only one in each of the last two. That recent improvement is the main case against this bet.

They have thrown seven interceptions in five games, so a Jets pass rush that has produced 17 sacks this season has plenty to work with if the protection slips again.

Saints-Giants (NO -1.5, 45.5): Giants 100+ Rushing Yards

The Giants have rushed for 100 or more yards in three of five games, including 165 in Week 1 and 103 last week. New Orleans have conceded 100-plus in every game, 205 and 153 in the last two.

Cam Skattebo has carried 15 or more times in three of five, for 294 yards in total, so the workload and the matchup point the same way.

New Orleans have conceded 100 or more rushing yards in all five games, averaging 149 a game, with 205 to Atlanta in Week 4. Their run defense is the clearest weakness on the Saints’ side of this bet.

The Giants have been inconsistent, with 52 and 87 yards in two of five games, so the bet rests on New Orleans’ defense staying where it is.

Panthers-Eagles (CAR -3.5, 38.5): Carolina To Win The Second Half

Carolina have won the second half in three straight games, outscoring opponents 45-21 over that run, after losing the first one 13-28.

Philadelphia have not won a second half all season, losing four times. Carolina’s second-half scoring has climbed steadily, from 13 to 14, 15 and 16 points. The bet needs that pattern to survive on the road against a side scoring few late points.

Philadelphia, who will be without Jalen Hurts under center, have not won a second half all season: four losses and a tie, with 23 second-half points scored and 66 conceded.

They have won the second quarter in all five games and the first half in four, so the pattern is entirely front-loaded. The case against this bet is that early lead: if Philadelphia leads at the break, Carolina must outscore them from behind.

Steelers-Buccaneers (PIT -2.5, 39.5): Pittsburgh Defense 2+ Sacks

Pittsburgh has recorded two or more sacks in three of five games, 11 in total, but only four in the last three. Tampa Bay has conceded 17 sacks this season, 3.4 per game, and two or more in four of five games.

The question is whether the pressure Pittsburgh produced in Weeks 1 and 2 returns on the road against a line that is still leaking.

Tampa Bay has conceded two or more sacks in four of five games, 17 in total, but only one in last week’s win over Dallas, so their protection is clearly improving.

Their own pass rush has produced just six sacks all season and none in the last two games. The bet needs Pittsburgh’s rush to find a line that held up well last time out.

Cardinals-Rams (LAR -12.5, 51.5): Both Teams To Score 20+ Points

Arizona have scored 20 or more in four of five games, including 21 in last week’s 45-21 defeat to Detroit, so the bar is a fairly low one.

Trey McBride has caught seven or more passes in all five games, 42 in total, which keeps drives moving. The harder part of this bet is the 12.5-point spread, which suggests the Rams will control the game.

The Rams have scored 20 or more in four of five games and conceded 20 or more in four of five, so the 51.5 total fits their profile. Arizona’s defense has conceded 31 or more in four straight games.

The question for the Rams is the other side: their own defense has allowed 20-plus points in four of five games, so they cannot assume Arizona will fall short.

Chargers-Chiefs (KC -7.5, 41.5): Kansas City 20+ Points

Kansas City have scored 20 or more in all four games (31, 33, 24, 30), and the Chargers have conceded 20 or more in all five, between 23 and 30.

The Chiefs, who are overwhelming favorites on NFL betting apps to win this game, have also won an interception in every game, and the Chargers have thrown at least one in every game, which adds short fields. The bet rests on a very consistent scoring floor here.

The Chargers have conceded 20 or more points in every game this season and scored 20 or more only once, 23 against Seattle in Week 4.

They have thrown an interception in all five games, seven in total, and been sacked 17 times in five games. This bet asks whether a defense that has not held anyone under 23 can start now against Kansas City.

Bills-Raiders (BUF -4.5, 53.5): Buffalo To Score A Rushing Touchdown

Buffalo has scored a rushing touchdown in all five games, 13 in total, and never fewer than two a game. Las Vegas have conceded one in four of five, including two in each of the last two.

The Bills have scored 24 or more points every week, so this bet is built on a repeatable pattern rather than a lucky one, and the 53.5 total backs it up.

Las Vegas has conceded a rushing touchdown in four of five games, six in total, two in each of the last two games. They have scored one themselves in only two of five games, so the Raiders’ ground game rarely answers back.

The 53.5 total, joint-highest of the week, assumes a shootout, and a team conceding on the ground has little way to shorten it.

Cowboys-Packers (GB -1.5, 53.5): Dallas To Score A Rushing Touchdown

Dallas has scored a rushing touchdown in four of five games, seven in total, including three against Houston in Week 4. Green Bay has conceded at least one in every single game, eight in total.

Even in last week’s 24-16 defeat to Tampa Bay, the Cowboys ran one in, so the pattern has held in wins and losses alike, which is what this bet needs.

Green Bay has conceded a rushing touchdown in all five games, eight in total, including three to Atlanta in Week 3. They have scored a rushing touchdown themselves in only one of five games.

But they have won their last two, 17-14 and 31-7, so the run defense’s weakness has not been costing them results, which is the main reason to hesitate on this bet.

Commanders-49ers (SF -7.5, 51.5): San Francisco 20+ Points

San Francisco has scored 20 or more in all five games, averaging 30.8 (27, 35, 36, 24, 32), and Washington has conceded 20 or more in all five, with a low of 24. Neither is borderline.

San Francisco’s own defense has conceded 20-plus in only two of five, which keeps them ahead in most games. The question is whether the offense repeats its floor of 24.

Washington has conceded 20 or more in all five games, including 37 to Dallas and 31 to Seattle, and 30 or more in three of the five. Their offense is the side keeping them in games, with 20-plus in four of five, including 33 against Seattle.

That matters because San Francisco’s defense has conceded 20 or more in only two of five games this season.
