Week 6 NFL picks, predictions, odds, best bets from Vegas expert: This 3-team football parlay pays out 6-1
Last season, underdogs of at least seven points were 15-50 straight-up, but this year those they’re 7-2. Your Week 6 NFL bets should keep that in mind since the 77.8% win rate by those touchdown-plus dogs this year is the best record in a five-week span since the 1970 merger. The Week 6 NFL schedule presents one heavy underdog, as Philadelphia is an 8.5-point favorite over Cleveland in a game with a low over-under of 42. Philadelphia could be lethargic coming off a bye against a Browns team desperate for a win, so you may want to seek NFL betting advice for both NFL straight-up picks and NFL against the spread picks. Before you make any Week 6 NFL picks or NFL parlays, be sure to see what SportsLine senior analyst Larry Hartstein has to say.

Top Week 6 NFL picks
We can tell you Hartstein loves the Titans (-2.5, 43) to cover at home versus the Colts in an AFC South game. This is a perfect scheduling spot for a Titans team coming off a bye that won the week prior against a depleted Colts team that just allowed the Jaguars to get their first win. Both Trevor Lawrence (371 passing yards) and Tank Bigsby (101 rushing yards) posted career-highs against Indianapolis, which ranks last in the NFL in yards allowed, second-worst in rush yards given up and fourth-worst in pass yards allowed.
Meanwhile, the Titans unlocked their running game before their bye, rushing for a season-high of 142 yards. Plus, kicker Nick Folk is a perfect 15-for-15 on all attempts, while the Titans have committed the second-fewest penalties this season. Add in that the Titans have covered their last six games following a bye, and Hartstein still likes Tennessee, even as the line shifted from +1.5 to -2.5.
