WagerTalk handicapper Dave Cokin<\/a> offers analysis on games that just missed his NFL Week 6 betting card. Each week on Twitter, Dave shares the games that fell just outside his comfort zone. Here, he expands upon those games with reasons why he was drawn in a particular direction, and why ultimately he decided to pass.<\/p>\n Stay on top of the latest NFL Week 6<\/a>\u00a0updates direct from Las Vegas!<\/em><\/p>\n Again, just to reiterate: As of Friday afternoon, these are games that I have not bet. I am simply sharing some of my notes that may, perhaps, assist in your handicapping as you break down the NFL Week 6 card.<\/p>\n Minnesota -2.5 at Carolina<\/strong> – Minnesota is the better team and looked very playable at +1, but that number is long gone and I am unwilling to lay -2 (or perhaps more) as the line continues to move closer to kickoff.<\/p>\n Detroit +3 vs Cincinnati<\/strong> – I strongly considered Detroit here as they’re playing better than that 0-5 record indicates. But the inability of the Lions to close a game made it a bit too tough for me to bet them here.<\/p>\n Las Vegas +4 at Denver<\/strong> – It’s tempting to take what is now a seemingly generous +4 with a team that might have a point to prove following the Gruden fiasco. But my preference here was the total rather than the side.<\/p>\n Pittsburgh -5 vs Seattle<\/strong> – Geno Smith looked good in relief last week, but there’s nothing to suggest that continues against a very tough Pittsburgh defense. The line just a shade too high for investment purposes, in my opinion.<\/p>\n Buffalo -5 at Tennessee<\/strong> – There’s no question about the who’s the superior team, that’s the Bills. But it’s also a prime letdown spot for Buffalo and I can’t lay this many with the Bills on Monday night.<\/p>\n Here’s the free play vid. Good number long gone on the college selection, but the NFL comp play is at a widely available current line. pic.twitter.com\/g1wm1NOnyK<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Dave Cokin (@davecokin) October 14, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nNFL Week 6 Betting Leans<\/h3>\n
