Week 6 NFL Upsets and Underdog Picks? We Feel Catty About It
The Top Underdog is Feline It
Giants, Panthers Return as Big Underdogs For Week 6
Jacksonville delivering the biggest (+195). But unfortunately for those looking for shockers, the New York Giants and Carolina Panthers got their butts handed to them as the odds expected. But they each get second cracks at delivering shockers this week. They are two of our biggest Week 6 NFL upsets and underdog picks and only one could pull it off.
Giant Underdogs in Buffalo
Point Spread: New York Giants +14.5 (-110)
Moneyline: +650
The Giants get no breaks on their NFL schedule. After losing to Miami 31-15, they now have to take on the Bills in Buffalo. The Bills are coming off a loss and could take out its frustrations on New York. The Bills average over 31 points after a defeat since 2021. And when this team wins, it wins in one way: blowout.
The Giants have a -91 point differential and average 12.4 points a game. New York’s 62 total points is fewer than what Buffalo has scored in the last two games alone: 68.
Cat Got Your Tongue? Panthers to Topple Odds
Point Spread: Carolina Panthers +14 (-115)
Moneyline: +600
The Panthers got outclassed by the Lions last week. But this week, we like where the Carolina? In the bottom third of the league at best.
So why do we like Carolina? It’s the NFL matchup. The Panthers can minimize Miami’s scoring by controlling the clock. This team is ranked in the top 10 in average drive statistics including time on the field and number of plays per drive on both sides of the ball.
This is a good game for Carolina to win the battle of possessions. Miami ranks highly in pressure rate, its ing defense is vulnerable. On top of that, the Dolphins’ red zone defense allows over two touchdowns a game. Call us nuts. But for this Week 6 NFL upset and underdog pick, the Panthers will win and cover. Pick: Carolina Panthers +600
Browns Get the 49ers in Return to Action
Point Spread: Cleveland Browns +8.5 (-110)
Moneyline: +320
When this line opened, Cleveland was a slight 1.5-point underdog. Right after news broke that quarterback Deshaun Watson would not play, it quickly escalated to where it is now. We don’t blame the widening as Cleveland might just be dead in the water with Dorian Thompson-Robinson under center.
The Browns scored just three points against Baltimore in a game where Thompson-Robinson threw three interceptions, zero touchdowns, and a 25.3 er rating. Now, he’s unlikely to be this bad against NFL game result for San Fran. Pick: San Francisco 49ers -8.5 (-110)
