Another week, another Sunday packed with football. Our partners at sports content and predictive analytics website Dimers.com have sifted through the data to find us three great picks for Week 6 of the NFL season.
For the first game on Sunday’s slate, we again travel over to London for NFL action between the Miami Dolphins and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Both teams have gotten off to a poor start this season, having just the one win between them, which we think leads to a low-scoring affair in new conditions in the UK.
The Dolphins rank 31st in scoring offense averaging just 15.8 points per game, while the Jaguars rank 28th at a total of 18.6 points per game. Along with that, they both rank pretty much dead last in points allowed on the defensive side as well.
So long as both teams don’t give up the ball deep inside their own territory, we have a tough time thinking either team can gain much momentum and feel like we’ve got a generous O/U line in this game standing at 47.
PICK: Total Points Under 47 (-110)
Player Prop: James Robinson anytime Touchdown (-105)
Let’s face it, as the weeks progress, James Robinson is Jacksonville’s key piece. After struggling the first week or so, Robinson has scored in each of the last three weeks and has the double threat mentality of rushing and receiving the ball.
He ranks 4th in yards this season with 387 and is tied for 5th with 4 scores all coming in the last three weeks. Along with that, out of the four red zone targets inside the five-yard line he was dealt, he scored on 3 of them.
Look for Robinson to keep this streak alive and punching one in against the struggling Miami Dolphins in the morning showdown in London.
We get a NFC North showdown on Sunday between the Green Packers and the Chicago Bears. We believe this line is very favorable for the Packers, even with Jaire Alexander out due to injury.
The Green Bay defense will for sure miss their standout defensive star, but Justin Fields hasn’t shown us a solid game where he can beat a quality team via the air attack. On top of that, David Montgomery being sidelined will not help the cause.
I see this game looking similar to last week with Davante Adams having another great game, as Aaron Rodgers’ offensive line has so far protected the reigning MVP pretty well through the first few weeks of the season, hopefully meaning Khali Mack and co., won’t get to Rodgers very much.
The Packers survived a scare last week against Cincinnati but look for Rodgers and his Green Bay teammates to make a statement this week and build their lead in the NFC North, controlling this game from start to finish. For more data-backed free sports betting picks, visit Dimers.com.
PICK: Packers to cover the spread (-5.5)
