Best NFL Week 6 Teasers: Underdogs Bark Loud at Home
Bank on a Trio of Home Dogs To Spring Potential Upsets
These Hosts Got Dawgs in ‘em
You know us. We have soft spots for underdogs in the NFL. And what better way to these would-be “loveable losers” than to use them for our NFL Week 6 teasers? It’s not just for show. This week has the potential for serious upsets. And at the least, we expect three hosts to make the favored visitors sweat, including an unbeaten team.
Day/Time:
Records: Vikings (1-4), Bears (1-4)
Location: Soldier Field, Chicago, IL
Streaming: FOX
Minnesota lost star receiver Minnesota’s porous ing defense – they allow a er rating of 110.8 – benefits Justin Fields.
The NFL point spreads here. If this game ends up being a high-scoring one (total is 44), our money is on the Bears to outdo the Vikings. It’s worth betting and, at the least, teasing. Tease Bears +2.5 (-150).
Day/Time:
Records: Saints (3-2), Texans (2-3)
Location: NRG Stadium, Houston, TX
Streaming: FOX
From a potential barn-burner to a possible “Ugly Game of the Week”. Both the Patriots, are no pushovers on offense.
C.J. Stroud is the real deal at quarterback. We’d even flirt with betting him as an Houston is also 3-1 against the spread (ATS) as a dog this season. The Saints, on the other hand, are 0-3-1 ATS as a favorite. We like a teaser on the Texans to keep this within a field goal. Tease Texans +1.5 (-180)
Day/Time:
Records: Eagles (5-0), Jets (2-3)
Location: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ
Streaming: FOX
The NFL schedule. It’s a testament to how stacked this team is that it’s unbeaten and is not playing to its potential. And taking on the Jets in East Rutherford favored by a touchdown? That’s a one-way trip to “Fade City.”
The Jets are rounding out into a more balanced team. The defense is not as fearsome as last season (14th in scoring this 2023 compared to 4th in 2022). But believe it or not, Zach Wilson has played back-to-back solid games. He’s got a 94.6 er rating and 72.3% completion rate. The Jets have averaged 26.5 points.
Now, we don’t expect the Jets to drop 26 on the Eagles. But this underdog could keep Philadelphia from running away with the game – even if the Jets’ rushing defense is in ranked in the bottom third of the NFL. As such, add New York to this NFL Week 6 teasers. Tease Jets +7 (-135)
