The big news in the NFL this week is the sacking of NY Jets head coach Robert Saleh, who is the first coach in over 60 years to be fired in the first six weeks with a record of .400 or better.
We will have to wait until Monday Night Football to see how the Jets react. That is four days after a cracking opener to Week 6 that sees the Seahawks hosts the Niners in a divisional matchup. The highlight of the week is the Lions-Cowboys clash.
San Francisco -3.5 (at Seattle)
Road teams cover at just 34% in Weeks 1-8 on Thursday Night Football while the Niners have won five straight, four by double digits, against Seattle.
Washington +6.5 (at Baltimore)
Underdogs of at least six points are 16-2-1 against the spread this year while Lamar Jackson is 7-18-1 against the number when favoured by more than a field goal.
Detroit -3 (v Dallas)
Road favourites off a bye cover at 60.8%, putting Detroit in a great spot, while Jared Goff has covered 13 of 16 road games and 28 of 38 indoors across the last four seasons.
Carolina +6 (v Atlanta)
Carolina are in a super spot here and have vastly improved with Andy Dalton at QB. Underdogs of at least six are 16-2-1 against the spread this year.
Kyler Murray is 13-6-2 against the spread getting at least four points while teams off a win as a road underdog against a division opponent cover at 60% making the Cards great value.
Under 51.5 Washington-Baltimore
The under hits at 71% when a total has settled at 50 or more at the off across the last three years.
Under 36.5 LA Chargers-Denver
The under hits at 73% since 2020 when the total is less than 37 and Denver are one of the most reliable under propositions in the NFL with the under hitting in 61.6% of Broncos games since 2015.

Home underdogs are 23-13-2 against the number on Sunday Night Football while the Bengals are in an awkward spot with Sunday Night Football teams off a loss cover at just 29%.
Under 41 Buffalo-NY Jets
There is a super angle that has emerged on Monday Night Football with the under 17-2-1 when there is a home underdog on MNF.
Washington has been listed amongst the best bets while Arizona are the best underdog of the week. Houston should have few problems with Drake Maye starting his first game in the NFL. Underdogs of at least six are 16-2-1 against the spread so has to be included in the multi.
All of these plays were listed in the best plays and best totals making it one of the best multis we have plumped for this year.
Marvin Harrison has been a target machine after a very quiet debut. He has four tries in his last four games, where he is averaging eight targets an outing.
George Kittle is riding a three-game scoring streak. Derrick Henry has seven touchdowns in five outings. Chuba Hubbard has scored in three straight.
