NFL Week 6 Quarterback Props<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NFL Week 6 Quarterback Prop Prediction #1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dak Prescott Dallas Cowboys OVER 273.5 Passing Yards (-115)<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dak Prescott has covered this line in each of his last four games including 316+ yard efforts in each of his last two games against Tampa Bay and Houston. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prescott is the #3 rated passer in the NFL against zone coverage while utilizing dangerous weapons like CeeDee Lamb & George Pickens and the Green Bay Packers play that defense almost exclusively behind defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Packers don’t blitz very often and if you give Prescott time in the pocket he is going to pick you apart. Green Bay is also dealing with injuries up and down their defensive roster including cornerbacks Keisean Nixon and Benjamin St-Juste who are both listed as questionable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Packers actually haven’t allowed a quarterback to beat this particular line in 2026 but Michael Penix and Geno Smith both beat their respective lines with 256 and 247 yards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cowboys are -1.5-point road underdogs with a huge total of 53 that sets up a nearly perfect game script for Prescott to surpass this line.<\/p>\n\n\n

NFL Week 6 QB Prop Prediction #2\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Justin Herbert Los Angeles Chargers UNDER 18.5 Pass Completions (-130)<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justin Herbert has fallen short of this line in 3 of his first 5 games of the 2026 campaign while only creeping past this number twice with 19 and 20 pass completions in shootouts in Buffalo and Seattle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herbert owns a completion percentage of just 66.7% and he ranks 3rd worst in completion percentage above expected at -4.5%. Now Herbert has to deal with a Kansas City Chiefs secondary that has held quarterbacks to the 6th lowest completion percentage in the NFL at 61.2%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chiefs defense is coming off a bye, and they have held Bo Nix to 17 completions and Daniel Jones to 22 completions in two home games during the 2026 season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herbert snuck past this line with 19 completions in his last head-to-head game against the Chiefs, but that game was back in 2025, and he’s struggled thus far in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n

NFL Week 6 Running Back Props<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NFL Week 6 RB Prop Prediction #1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Woody Marks Houston Texans OVER 14.5 Rushing Attempts (-104)\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

David Montgomery has already been ruled out due to a groin injury and Woody Marks already cleared this line last week with 15 carries for 62 rushing yards despite Montgomery playing into the 2nd quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the Houston Texans travel overseas to face a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that ranks 7th in pass rush. CJ Stroud owns the 5th lowest EPA per drop back when under pressure while averaging only 4.8 yards per pass attempt so it would make sense to lean on the ground game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jaguars haven’t allowed a running back to eclipse this total in 2026, but Dameon Pierce & Will Shipley combined for 16 attempts, Rhamondre Stevenson & TreVeyon Henderson combined for 15 attempts and Jonah Coleman & JK Dobbins combined for 20 attempts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Texans don’t have a ton of running back depth outside of Dare Ogunbowale so Marks will see the lion’s share of the carries in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NFL Week 6 RB Prop Prediction #2\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tony Pollard Tennessee Titans OVER 53.5 Rushing Yards (-114)<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tony Pollard has only cleared this line in 2 of 5 games thus far in 2026, but he has fallen just short in back-to-back games with 14 carries for 52 yards and 16 carries for 48 yards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now Pollard has the opportunity to feast on an Indianapolis Colts defense that ranks DEAD LAST in opponent rush EPA and 31st in opponent rush success rate while allowing over 5 yards per carry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have already seen three running backs absolutely smash this total against the Colts including Jaylen Warren (101), Kenneth Walker III (117) and Derrick Henry (144).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fellow running back Tyjae Spears has missed practice this week due to a knee injury so Pollard could be in line for some extra touches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pollard has recorded 14+ carries on each of his last four games and with that type of workload he should easily surpass this line against this horrible run defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NFL Week 6 Wide Receiver\/Tight End Props<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NFL Week 6 TE Prop Prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mark Andrews Baltimore Ravens OVER 31.5 Receiving Yards (-114)<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Andrews fell short on an over 29.5 receiving yard ticket for us last week as he finished with only 28 yards after dropping a touchdown pass that would have put him up and over this number. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a strong chance that Tyler Huntley remains under center,\u00a0and backup quarterbacks are well known for utilizing their tight ends as safety blankets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huntley made two starts during the 2025 campaign while targeting his tight ends 16 times and he also fed the position a ton back in 2021 & 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now Andrews draws a strong matchup against a Cleveland Browns defense that has allowed 6th most passes and 9th most receptions to opposing tight ends on the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrew has a great head-to-head track record against Cleveland while beating this number in 7 of his last 10 games. Even if Lamar Jackson starts, he may be limited as a runner so Andrews would be targeted on the short pass and I’m banking on the Ravens making it a point get their veteran tight end involved after a tough game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NFL Week 6 WR Prop Prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Christian Watson Green Bay Packers OVER 73.5 Receiving Yards (-115)<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christian Watson is in the midst of a breakout season as he ranks 5th in receiving yards while raking up 474 yards across only five games. Watson has demolished this line with 96+ yards in 3 of those 5 games while averaging 94.8 receiving yards per game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now Watson gets an elite matchup against a Dallas Cowboys defense that ranks DEAD LAST in both opponent drop back EPA and opponent drop back success rate while allowing 8.1 yards per pass attempt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have seen multiple wide receivers eclipse their respective lines against Dallas including Malik Nabers (69), Zay Flowers (84), Jaylin Noel (85) & Nico Collins (118) (same game) and Tez Johnson (64). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watson has an ideal game script as the Packers are only favored by -1.5 with a huge total of 53 that sets us up for a shootout on Sunday Night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
