| NFL Week 6 Preview: Upsets of the Week |
|
The sports betting sites are taking bets for week six in the NFL, and the upset picks are out there. If you love the underdog, then here are some upset picks that will be the feel-good stories of week six in the NFL. Jacksonville Jaguars @ Pittsburgh Steelers (-13) The price per head sports fans in Pittsburgh were happy to see the Steelers get back on the winning track in week five against the Titans. But there is just something about this game against the Jaguars that sets it up to be an upset. Without James Harrison to put pressure on rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert, Gabbert could have the game of his life. In either case, take the Jaguars with the points. But there is a very good chance that Jacksonville wins this game outright. Pick: Jacksonville Jaguars Carolina Panthers @ Atlanta Falcons (-4) The odds makers are sometimes a few weeks behind on the news for each team. Not only does the Panthers have a potent offense, but the defensive secondary is getting much better. This game will be an intertops shootout that Cam Newton and the Panthers will win. Pick: Carolina Panthers Minnesota Vikings @ Chicago Bears (-3) The Minnesota Vikings are not going to suddenly burst into the playoff picture, but the Vikings will beat the Bears in this game. The Chicago offensive play calling continues to be horrible, and the Vikings have found its groove on offense. People forget that the Minnesota defense is still a very good unit, and running back Adrian Peterson is always a force on the Minnesota offensive line of scrimmage. Pick: Minnesota Vikings |
