The NFL is the Usain Bolt of professional sports: Blink and you might miss it. Every year, the season goes by so fast. Week 6 brings with it the first slate of byes (Jets, Falcons, 49ers, Saints), which is good because it gives us two fewer chances to get things wrong.
Underdogs went 6-9-1 against the spread (ATS) last week, their first losing campaign of the season. They’re still 42-36-2 overall.
My most confident picks this week ATS are Seattle, Kansas City and the L.A. Rams. One bonus sneaky underdog pick: Detroit. Stay away from Las Vegas-Denver.
