NFL Odds for Every Game of NFL Week 6

Dallas Cowboys vs Los Angeles Chargers Odds

• Opening point spread: Cowboys -3 (even)
• Opening moneyline: Cowboys -140/Chargers +120
• Opening total: Over/Under 47.5 points scored
• Time: 8:15 p.m. ET Monday (ABC/ESPN)

UPDATE 4:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: At PointsBet, a Fanatics Experience, Los Angeles opened as a 1-point home favorite on Oct. 8. But within just minutes, the number jumped the fence to Dallas -1.5, and it went to -2 within a couple of hours.

The Cowboys proceeded to reach -2.5 a couple times by midweek. Then the line toggled between -2 and -1.5 several times from Thursday through this morning, before dipping to Dallas -1 this afternoon. The Cowboys are now -1.5.

Although the number has moved toward the Chargers, the Cowboys are still seeing 61% of spread tickets/67% of spread dollars. Dallas is also taking 56% of moneyline bets/64% of moneyline cash.

The total shot from 47.5 to 51.5 by Tuesday at PointsBet, with multiple stops along the way. Since then, it's mostly bounced between 51 and 50.5, and it's now 50.5. Ticket count is almost dead even, but 93% of money is on the Under, and PointsBet indicated that skew is because of some large Under wagers.

UPDATE 5:30 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Dallas stuck at TwinSpires' opener of -2 until this afternoon, then crept up to -2.5. Los Angeles is netting 56% of early spread tickets/59% of early spread dollars.

"The Cowboys' blowout loss is still fresh in the minds of bettors," TwinSpires' Zachary Lucas said, alluding to Dallas' loss at San Francisco. "Los Angeles is shaping up to be a trendy 'dog."

The total climbed from 49.5 to 50.5, with tickets 3/1-plus and money 4/1 on the Over.

"It's all Over money. Both teams can score and haven't been able to defend recently," Lucas said.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Prior to the Week 5 Sunday night game between Dallas and San Francisco, The SuperBook opened the Cowboys -3 (even) vs. the Chargers in the NFL odds Week 6 market.

The Cowboys-Chargers line then came off the board once Cowboys-49ers kicked off. Based on Sunday's result, don't be surprised if the Cowboys-Chargers line shortens when it reposts Monday morning.

Dallas (3-2 SU and ATS) got boat-raced by San Fran 42-10 as a 3.5-point road underdog.

Los Angeles (2-2 SU and ATS) won and cashed in Weeks 3 and 4, after losing and failing to cover in Weeks 1 and 2. The Chargers, who had a Week 5 bye, topped the Raiders 24-17 giving 6.5 points at home in Week 4.

"There was sharp money on Dallas [last] week on this game that pushed us from Cowboys -2.5 to -3," Michaelson said, alluding to The SuperBook's lookahead line.

With that in mind, The SuperBook opened Dallas -3 tonight, but that's almost certain to change when the number goes back up Monday morning.

"This will go to some variation of 2.5," Michaelson said, while noting he still expects plenty of public play on the Cowboys. "We will need the Chargers in a standalone spot."

In-Progress Games for NFL Week 6

New York Giants vs Buffalo Bills Odds

• Opening point spread: Bills -15.5
• Opening moneyline: Bills -1400/Giants +750
• Opening total: Over/Under 46 points scored
• Time: 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday (NBC)

UPDATE 7:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: With 45 minutes until kickoff, Buffalo sits at -15.5 (-105) in BetMGM's NFL odds Week 6 market. That's up from the -14.5 opener and -14 low point early in the week. But it's down from the high point of Bills -16.5 late this afternoon, after which BetMGM actually backed up to -15.5 and -14.5 (-120).

Buffalo is taking 56% of spread tickets, but 61% of spread cash is on New York. And moneyline bettors are taking fliers on the huge underdog, with 62% of tickets/68% of money on the Giants.

BetMGM opened the total at 46.5 and slowly made its way down over the course of the week, hitting 43.5 this morning. It remains 43.5, with ticket count almost dead even and 62% of money on the Under.

UPDATE 3 P.M. ET FRIDAY: The Bills backed up from -14.5 to -14 Monday at BetMGM, returned to -14.5 Thursday and adjusted to -14.5 (-115) a few hours ago. Buffalo is netting 58% of spread bets, but 62% of spread cash is in big 'dog New York.

The total fell from 46.5 to 44.5 by Tuesday and inched another notch to 44 this afternoon. The Over is landing 62% of bets, but money is running dead even at BetMGM.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Buffalo saw its three-game SU and ATS surge – all blowout victories – end in London against Jacksonville. The Bills (3-2 SU and ATS) mustered just one TD through the first three quarters in coming up short 26-20 as 4.5-point favorites.

New York is now 1-4 SU and an imperfectly perfect 0-5 ATS. And the G-Men are 0-3 SU and ATS in prime time, heading into a Sunday night clash in Buffalo. In Week 5, the Giants lost 31-16 getting 12.5 points at Miami.

"We closed Bills -13 on the looakhead and re-opened -15.5, having since been bet down to -15. That move is likely a result of the Buffalo travel situation, because it isn't anything pro-Giants," Michaelson said. "It's a very low power rating for Big Blue right now. The only reason we are getting any sharp Giants money is Buffalo's travel.

"The spread is probably high enough to scare the public away, but the Giants are going to test that theory."

Later this evening, Buffalo dipped another half-point to -14.5.

Completed Games for NFL Week 6

New England Patriots vs Las Vegas Raiders Odds

• Opening point spread: Raiders -2.5
• Opening moneyline: Raiders -155/Patriots +135
• Opening total: Over/Under 43 points scored
• Time: 4:05 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 1 P.M. ET SUNDAY: With kickoff about three hours out, Caesars Sports has the Raiders at -3 (-105). Las Vegas spent the week bouncing between the -2.5 opener and -3, at various juice.

The Raiders are taking 72% of spread bets. However, spread money leans slightly toward the road 'dog Patriots, at 52%.

Caesars' total went from 42.5 to 41 by Tuesday night, then inched to 41.5 late Thursday night. Current splits aren't available.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: This line has toggled between Raiders -2.5 and -3, at various juice, throughout the week at BetMGM. Las Vegas is currently -3 (-105), while New England is seeing 54% of tickets/77% of money.

Las Vegas (2-3 SU and ATS) is coming off a 17-13 Monday night win laying 1.5 points at home vs. Green Bay.

The total opened at 42.5 and on Tuesday morning went to 42 and 41.5, where it remains this afternoon. The Under is nabbing 86% of early tickets, but just 55% of early money.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: New England suffered another un-Bill Belichick-like beatdown in Week 5. The Pats (1-4 SU and ATS), 1.5-point home favorites against New Orleans, got torched 34-0. That's two straight blowout losses, with the Pats having lost 38-3 in Week 4 at Dallas.

Las Vegas (1-3 SU and ATS) still has Week 5 work to do. The Raiders host Green Bay in the Monday night game.

The Pats-Raiders total inched from 43 to 42.5 tonight in The SuperBook's NFL odds Week 6 market.

Philadelphia Eagles vs New York Jets Odds

• Opening point spread: Eagles -6.5
• Opening moneyline: Eagles -280/Jets +230
• Opening total: Over/Under 42 points scored
• Time: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 1 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Philly is a 6.5-point chalk at Caesars Sports, after opening -6 last Sunday and peaking at -7 Friday. Spread bettors are on the unbeaten Eagles, to the tune of a 6/1 ticket count and 4/1 money count.

And no doubt, the Eagles are a popular component of moneyline parlays and teasers today.

The total fell from 42.5 to 41 by Tuesday, then rebounded Saturday to 41.5 and 42.5. Current Caesars splits aren't available.

UPDATE 3 P.M. ET FRIDAY: On Sunday night, the Eagles went from -6.5 (-105) to -6, but then climbed to -7 by lunch hour Tuesday. This afternoon, Philly dipped to -6.5, though spread tickets/dollars are in the 3/1 range on the Eagles.

The total fell from 42.5 to 41 by Tuesday, with stops at 42 and 41.5 along the way. Ticket count is 3/1 and money almost 8/1 on the Under.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Philadelphia (5-0 SU/3-1-1 ATS) joins San Fran as the NFL's only unbeaten teams on the field. In Week 5, the Eagles dropped the L.A. Rams 23-14 as 3.5-point road faves.

Meanwhile, New York (2-3 SU/3-2 ATS) is starting to perform better behind Zach Wilson. After nearly knocking off Kansas City in Week 4, the Jets went to Denver as 2.5-point road 'dogs and bagged a 31-21 victory.

Philly actually dipped a half-point tonight at The SuperBook, from -6.5 to -6. The total went from 42 to 42.5.

Detroit Lions vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Odds

• Opening point spread: Lions -3 (-120)
• Opening moneyline: Lions -180/Buccaneers +150
• Opening total: Over/Under 45.5 points scored
• Time: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 1 P.M. ET SUNDAY: The Lions have been at -3 all week in Caesars Sports' NFL odds Week 6 market. Detroit opened -3 (-120), then adjusted to -3 (-115) Friday and -3 (-105) in the past 30 minutes.

Detroit is getting 77% of spread bets, but spread money is closer, at 57% on the Lions.

The total steadily made its way down from 45.5 to 42.5 by Thursday. Late this morning, the number upped to 43, then went to 43.5 in the past hour. Current Caesars splits aren't available.

UPDATE 5:30 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Detroit opened -3 and stuck there until this afternoon, nudging up to -3.5 in TwinSpires' NFL odds Week 6 market. Spread tickets are almost 3/1 and spread money beyond 2/1 early on.

"The Lions are very popular road chalk this week. We're already seeing 7/1 tickets and 8/1 money on Lions moneyline," TwinSpires' Zachary Lucas said.

The total is down 2 points to 43.5, with 59% of tickets on the Over/64% of money on the Under.

"Sharp play on Under 45.5," Lucas said.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Detroit (4-1 SU and ATS) has been red-hot since the middle of last season, going 12-3 SU/13-2 ATS. Week 5 against Carolina was more of the same, with the Lions rolling 42-24 as 9.5-point home favorites.

Baker Mayfield and Tampa Bay are a perhaps surprising 3-1 SU and ATS. The Bucs are coming off their bye week, after breezing by New Orleans 26-9 as 4.5-point road underdogs.

The Lions-Bucs total went from 45.5 to 45 and back to 45.5 tonight at The SuperBook.

Arizona Cardinals vs Los Angeles Rams Odds

• Opening point spread: Rams -6
• Opening moneyline: Rams -270/Cardinals +220
• Opening total: Over/Under 45.5 points scored
• Time: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 1 P.M. ET SUNDAY: After opening -6, L.A. toggled between -6.5 and -7 early in the week and has been steady at -7 since Tuesday. The Rams are currently -7 (-115), with spread tickets 3/1 and spread money 2/1 on Los Angeles.

The total opened at 46 and climbed to 48.5 by Tuesday morning, with multiple stops along the way. On Saturday, the number dipped to 47.5, where it remains now. Current Caesars splits aren't available.

UPDATE 3 P.M. ET FRIDAY: BetMGM opened the Rams -6 and on Tuesday went to -6.5 and -7, with no movement since. But it's not overwhelming L.A. spread play, at 60% of tickets/62% of money.

The total also has seen no movement since Tuesday, after opening 46.5 and making stops at 47.5 and 48 on the way to 48.5. The Over is taking 62% of tickets at BetMGM, but money is running dead even.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Los Angeles (2-3 SU/3-1-1 ATS) got Cooper Kupp back in Week 5, but it wasn't enough against Philadelphia. The Rams fell 23-14 catching 3.5 points at home.

Arizona (1-4 SU/3-2 ATS) kept it close for three quarters against Cincinnati. But the Cards got outscored 10-0 in the final frame, losing 34-20 as 3-point home pups.

The Cards-Rams line has bounced around a bit tonight at The SuperBook, from L.A. -6 to -5.5, then back to -6. The total also got some adjusting, climbing 1.5 points to 47 in the NFL odds Week 6 market.

San Francisco 49ers vs Cleveland Browns Odds

• Opening point spread: 49ers -3
• Opening moneyline: 49ers -220/Browns +180
• Opening total: Over/Under 41.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 10 A.M. ET SUNDAY: Three hours pre-kick, the Niners are laying 9.5 points at BetMGM. That's well up from Monday's -4.5 opener, bolstered by two factors: Bettors piling on San Fran early in the week after its blowout win over Dallas; and late in the week, Browns QB Deshaun Watson ruled out with a rotator cuff injury.

PJ Walker will start for Cleveland.

Spread tickets are running almost 8/1 and spread money 9/1 on the 49ers.

The total plummeted from 42 to 35.5 by Thursday, with several stops along the way, and is now 36. Along with Watson's absence, weather could be an issue, with wind and rain expected in Cleveland today. That said, the Over is seeing 70% of tickets/73% of money.

UPDATE 5:30 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: This line has been on the move all week, thanks to the Niners' beatdown of the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. TwinSpires opened San Fran -5, ran out to -6.5, then this afternoon went to -7.

Early ticket count is 4/1 and early money 8/1 49ers on the spread.

"The 49ers look unstoppable, and bettors are coming in waves to bet them. Our biggest liability of the week is currently 49ers spread. Every teaser and moneyline parlay has the 49ers, as well," TwinSpires' Zachary Lucas said.

The total moved from 38.5 to 37.5 at TwinSpires, the lowest total on the board by a significant amount. Ravens-Titans and Eagles-Jets are both at 41. The Over is seeing 60% of early tickets, while 57% of early money is on the Under.

Along with the Niners' dominance, the Browns' injury situation contributed to moves on the spread and total. Cleveland QB Deshaun Watson (shoulder) is questionable, as are three offensive lineman and star defensive end Myles Garrett (foot).

UPDATE NOON ET MONDAY: In the wake of San Fran's blowout win over Dallas, The SuperBook reopened Cowboys-49ers this morning at Niners -4.5, up 1.5 points from Sunday evening's -3 opener.

That jump was pretty much expected, as The SuperBook's Chase Michaelson noted in his Sunday night comments (see below).

The total also fell back to 39, down 2.5 points.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: San Francisco (5-0 SU/4-1 ATS) looks to be a worthy favorite in the Super Bowl odds market. In the Week 5 Sunday nighter against Dallas, the Niners barreled to a 42-10 victory laying 3.5 points at home.

Cleveland (2-2 SU and ATS) had its bye in Week 5, and probably needed it. In Week 4, the Browns got waxed 27-3 as 1.5-point home underdogs to Baltimore.

"Nothing changed from our [lookahead] line," Michaelson said, noting 49ers-Browns came off the board during the Cowboys-49ers game. "The 49ers are the highest power-rated team in the league right now, which shows you how much respect we have for Cleveland – particularly its defense – that this line is only 3."

That said, with San Fran blowing out Dallas, Michaelson anticipates this line climbing, perhaps as soon as it reopens Monday morning.

Seattle Seahawks vs Cincinnati Bengals Odds

• Opening point spread: Bengals -3
• Opening moneyline: Bengals -145/Seahawks +125
• Opening total: Over/Under 46 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 10 A.M. ET SUNDAY: Cincinnati is at -3 (-105) in BetMGM's NFL odds Week 6 market. The Bengals opened -2.5 (-115) and toggled between -2.5 and -3 at various juice all week.

Ticket count is 2.5/1 and money 3/1 on Cincinnati.

The total from 46.5 to 46 Monday, then to 45.5 Tuesday and 45 Wednesday. It's still at 45, with tickets 2/1 and money 2.5/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 5:30 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Cincy has toggled between -2.5 and -3 at TwinSpires, and the Bengals are currently -2.5 (-117). Tickets and money are in the 2/1 range on Cincinnati.

"The Bengals are taking the bulk of the money so far. Bettors are buying into Cincy again," TwinSpires' Zachary Lucas said.

The total inched from 45.5 to 45, with 67% of bets/52% of dollars on the Over.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Cincinnati has a chance to get back to .500 after its 1-3 SU/0-3-1 ATS start. The Bengals (2-3 SU/1-3-1 ATS) finally covered in Week 5, beating Arizona 34-20 as 3-point road favorites.

Seattle is 3-0 SU and ATS since dropping its opener at home against the L.A. Rams. The Seahawks (3-1 SU and ATS) had a Week 5 bye. In Week 4, the Seahawks rolled to a 24-3 win laying 2.5 points at the New York Giants.

The SuperBook had a lookahead line last week of Bengals -2.5 and got bet up to -3, then back down to -2.

"After the Bengals looked like their old selves today against Arizona, we re-opened at -3," Michaelson said. " The market promptly went against us, looking to get it back down to the lookahead number. It is my belief that this line will close at some variation of 3."

Late tonight, the Bengals are -3 (even) in The SuperBook's NFL odds Week 6 market.

Indianapolis Colts vs Jacksonville Jaguars Odds

• Opening point spread: Jaguars -5.5
• Opening moneyline: Jaguars -220/Colts +180
• Opening total: Over/Under 45.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 10 A.M. ET SUNDAY: BetMGM has the line at Jacksonville -4.5 (-105), almost in line with the -4.5 opener last Sunday. In between, the Jags dipped to -4 Thursday and -3.5 Saturday.

Indianapolis is actually netting 57% of spread bets/59% of spread dollars.

The total climbed from 45.5 to 46.5 Monday, then made its way down to 44 by Friday. It remains 44, with tickets and money 2/1-plus on the Under.

UPDATE 5:30 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Jacksonville hit TwinSpires' NFL Week 6 odds board as 4.5-point chalk and is now at -4. The Jags are drawing 64% of early tickets, but 55% of early cash is on the Colts.

"Sharp play on Colts +4.5," TwinSpires' Zachary Lucas said.

The total is down a half-point to 45 at TwinSpires, with 52% of early tickets/59% of early money on the Under.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Jacksonville had a successful two-week run in London, going 2-0 SU and ATS in its home away from home. The Jaguars (3-2 SU and ATS) knocked off Buffalo 25-20 catching 4.5 points in Week 5.

Indianapolis (3-2 SU and ATS) just got star running back Jonathan Taylor under contract, so he didn't play much in Week 5. But teammate Zack Moss went haywire with 23 carries for 165 yards and two TDs. That helped the Colts notch a 23-16 win catching 2.5 points against visiting Tennessee.

However, rookie QB Anthony Richardson left in the second quarter with a shoulder injury.

"The market likes Indianapolis in this spot. Both on the lookahead line and today, we opened this game Jags -5.5, and it has been bet down to -4.5 both times," Michaelson said. "Jonathan Taylor is an awesome player. But it's my opinion that the spot for Jacksonville – flying transatlantic after two weeks in London – is the angle the wiseguys are looking at, more than the return of a running back.

"With the injury concerns at QB in Indy, and the Jaguars looking good this morning, we felt the line should go up. Bettors disagreed."

Minnesota Vikings vs Chicago Bears Odds

• Opening point spread: Vikings -3.5
• Opening moneyline: Vikings -150/Bears +130
• Opening total: Over/Under 49 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 10:15 A.M. ET SUNDAY: With kickoff under three hours away, the Vikings are -3 (-115) on BetMGM's NFL Week 6 odds board. Minnesota opened -3.5, quickly dipped to -3 and spent time midweek at -2.5.

Spread tickets are dead even, while 55% of spread money is on the Vikes. Moneyline bettors are taking the Bears, currently +140, with tickets and dollars running 3/1 on Chicago.

The total opened at 49.5 (Under -115) and rapidly tumbled throughout the week, getting as low as 43.5 Friday. It's now 44, with rain and some wind in today's Chicago forecast. Tickets and money are almost dead even on the total at BetMGM.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Minnesota opened -3.5 Sunday night at BetMGM, quickly backed up to -3, then went to -2.5 Tuesday morning. The line went to Vikes -3 (-105) Thursday and is now Vikes -3 flat.

Ticket count is almost dead even, while 58% of early spread cash is on Minnesota.

The total plunged this week, from a 49.5 opener to 43.5. That's in part due to the Vikings not having star wideout Justin Jefferson, who went on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. But weather is expected to be an issue, too, with a 50% chance of rain, along with winds of 20-30 mph in Chicago.

The Under is taking 70% of tickets/66% of money so far. By ticket count, this is the most-bet Under on BetMGM's NFL Week 7 odds board.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: In the Week 5 Thursday nighter, Chicago (1-4 SU/1-3-1 ATS) got its first SU win in almost a year. The Bears upset Washington 40-20 catching 6 points on the road.

Prior to that, Chicago hadn't won since Oct. 24, 2022, a 33-14 victory at New England. The Bears then went a dismal 0-14 SU/2-11-1 ATS before beating the Commanders.

Meanwhile, Minnesota is having a poor follow-up to its 13-4 SU mark last season. The Vikings (1-4 SU/1-3-1 ATS) fell to Kansas City 27-20 getting 3.5 points at home in Week 5.

After opening Vikes-Bears at Minnesota -3.5, The SuperBook has already made a couple adjustments in its NFL odds Week 6 market. Minnesota first went to -3.5 (even), then slipped to -3 tonight.

Carolina Panthers vs Miami Dolphins Odds

• Opening point spread: Dolphins -14
• Opening moneyline: Dolphins -1200/Panthers +700
• Opening total: Over/Under 47.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 10:15 A.M. ET SUNDAY: Miami is laying 14 points at BetMGM, matching last Sunday's opening number. In between, the Dolphins spent most of the week at -13.5, peaked at -15 briefly this morning, then went to -14.

Ticket count is almost 4/1 and money nearing 3/1 on the Dolphins.

The total went from 47.5 (Over -115) to 48.5 by Tuesday, then receded to 47.5 by Thursday. It's two-way play, with 55% of tickets on the Over/53% of money on the Under.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: BetMGM moved the Dolphins from -14 to -13.5 Monday, then this afternoon returned to -14. Despite the big number, it's heavy Dolphins spread play, with tickets 8/1 and money 3/1 on Miami.

The total went from 47.5 to 48.5 by Tuesday, then returned to 47.5 Thursday. The Under is getting 53% of tickets/65% of money.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Miami is quickly becoming the biggest public darling in the NFL, and with good reason at 4-1 SU and ATS. In Week 5, the Dolphins coasted to a 31-16 victory laying 12.5 points to the visiting New York Giants.

Carolina doesn't have a win on the field or for spread bettors yet. The Panthers (0-5 SU/0-4-1 ATS) got rolled at Detroit 42-24 as 9.5-point 'dogs.

The SuperBook's total nudged from 47.5 to 48 tonight.

Washington Commanders vs Atlanta Falcons Odds

• Opening point spread: Falcons -1.5
• Opening moneyline: Falcons -140/Commanders +120
• Opening total: Over/Under 42 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 10:30 A.M. ET SUNDAY: After opening Falcons -2.5 (-105) and spending all week at -2.5 flat, BetMGM on Saturday moved Atlanta to -1.5. The Falcons are taking 55% of spread bets, while 58% of spread money is on the Commanders.

BetMGM opened the total at 42.5, went to 42 Monday and back to 42.5 Wednesday. It's two-way action there, as well, with 52% of bets on the Under/53% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: The Falcons opened -2.5 (-105) Sunday night, adjusted to -2.5 flat Monday morning and haven't moved since at BetMGM. Atlanta is netting 59% of early spread bets/56% of early spread money.

The total nudged from 42.5 (Under -115) to 42 Monday, then to 42.5 flat Wednesday. There's been no movement since at BetMGM, with the Under drawing 57% of bets/55% of dollars.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Atlanta (3-2 SU/1-4 ATS) climbed above .500 in Week 5, but suffered its fourth straight ATS setback. The Falcons edged Houston 21-19 on a final-seconds field goal, failing to cover as 2.5-point home faves.

After winning its first two games SU, Washington (2-3 SU and ATS) dropped three in a row. The last of those losses was the most surprising, with the Commanders 6-point home favorites vs. the Bears, who were on a 14-game SU nosedive dating to last October.

Washington dug itself into a 27-3 halftime hole en route to a 40-20 loss in the Week 5 Thursday night game.

Commanders-Falcons opened Atlanta -1.5 and moved to Atlanta -2 tonight at The SuperBook.

New Orleans Saints vs Houston Texans Odds

• Opening point spread: Saints -2.5
• Opening moneyline: Saints -125/Texans +105
• Opening total: Over/Under 41 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 10:30 A.M. ET SUNDAY: As noted Friday (see below update), this number is painted to Saints -1.5 at BetMGM, moving there Monday from -2.5. Spread tickets and dollars are running 2/1 on New Orleans.

And as was the case Friday, the total remains 42.5. The Under is seeing 72% of tickets/55% of money in BetMGM's NFL odds Week 6 market.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: BetMGM moved from Saints -2.5 to -1.5 Monday, and the number hasn't budged since. New Orleans is netting 61% of bets, while 58% of cash is on Houston.

The total briefly backed up from 40.5 to 40 Monday, then rebounded to 41.5 on the way to 42.5 Tuesday. The Under is getting 74% of tickets, and 57% of money is on the Over.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: New Orleans notched a surprising wipeout of New England in Week 5. The Saints (3-2 SU/1-3-1 ATS) cashed for the first time this season in a 34-0 victory as 2-point road pups.

Houston (2-3 SU/3-2 ATS) has been better than expected behind rookie QB C.J. Stroud. The Texans nearly nabbed a win at Atlanta in Week 5, falling 21-19 on a final-seconds field goal while covering as 2.5-point 'dogs.

The total is down a point half-point to 40.5 tonight at The SuperBook.

Baltimore Ravens vs Tennessee Titans Odds

• Opening point spread: Ravens -5
• Opening moneyline: Ravens -185/Titans +155
• Opening total: Over/Under 40.5 points scored
• Time: 9:30 a.m. ET Sunday (NFL Network)

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Baltimore opened -3.5 (-115) at BetMGM and fell back to -3 (-115) Monday. That lasted a few minutes before the Ravens went to -3.5 (-105), and the line went to -4 Tuesday and -4.5 today.

Early ticket count is 2/1 and early money 3/1 Baltimore on the spread.

The total initially receded from 40.5 to 39.5 Monday, then steadily made its way up to 42 by this afternoon. The Over is seeing 60% of tickets/75% of money. And by ticket count, Ravens-Titans is the second-most-bet Over in BetMGM's NFL odds Week 6 market.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Just when you think the Ravens have turned the corner, they go out and play a lousy game. Baltimore (3-2 SU and ATS) blew multiple opportunities at Pittsburgh, including Lamar Jackson throwing a fourth-quarter interception in the end zone.

The Ravens followed by giving up an 80-yard TD drive to fall behind 14-10. Baltimore went on to lose 17-10 as 4.5-point road chalk.

Baltimore now heads to London to take on Tennessee. The Titans (2-3 SU/3-2 ATS) lost to Indianapolis 23-16 giving 2.5 points on the road.

"We opened Ravens -4 on the lookahead and re-opened -5 (tonight), after the Titans looked pretty bad today," Michaelson said. "The market clearly disagreed, and we've been bet back down to Ravens -4. Just a case of the market trying to move a game toward 3, especially with a road favorite."

Denver Broncos vs Kansas City Chiefs Odds

• Opening point spread: Chiefs -10.5
• Opening moneyline: Chiefs -600/Broncos +425
• Opening total: Over/Under 51.5 points scored
• Time: 8:15 p.m. ET Thursday (Prime)

UPDATE 4:30 P.M. ET THURSDAY: Kansas City opened -10.5 and sits at -10.5 a few hours before kickoff at PointsBet, a Fanatics Experience. In between, the Chiefs dipped to -10 multiple times Monday and once more on Wednesday morning.

K.C. then went to -10.5 Wednesday afternoon and -11 for a couple hours this morning, before returning to -10.5. No surprise, spread play is heavy to the Chiefs, at 77% of tickets/78% of money. And bettors are even laying the hefty moneyline price on the Chiefs.

"Despite the Chiefs sitting as heavy favorites, bettors are backing their moneyline at a -600 price," PointsBet trader Ethan Useloff said. "Typically, a double-digit-point favorite will see the underdog carry the liability in the moneyline market. But the public views the Chiefs favorably enough that the price doesn't faze bettors.

"Furthermore, the Chiefs -10.5 line has significantly more money on it than the Broncos to cover."

Taylor Swift reportedly will attend tonight's game, but bettors aren't yet hammering Travis Kelce props at PointsBet. The most popular player prop, by both tickets and money, is on Chefs tailback Isiah Pacheco anytime touchdown -150.

Kelce (ankle) was listed as questionable much of this week, but it appears he will play tonight.

With a 40% chance of rain and wind of 15-25 mph expected, the total plunged from 51.5 to 47.5 by Tuesday morning. This afternoon, it dipped to 47 and 46.5, and it's now at 47. The Over is seeing 60% of bets, while 56% of money is on the Under.

UPDATE 5:30 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: The Chiefs open and remain 10.5-point favorites at TwinSpires Sportsbook. Spread ticket count is 3/1 and spread money just shy of 3/1 on Kansas City.

"Two teams going opposite directions. The Broncos will very likely be a large need for us on Thursday Night Football," TwinSpires director of retail sports Zachary Lucas said.

TwinSpires' total tumbled from 51 to 47, with multiple stops along the way. The latest move came this afternoon, from 47.5 to 47. The Over is getting 55% of tickets, while 68% of cash is on the Under.

"Sharp play on Under 51 and Under 49," Lucas said.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Since suffering a season-opening home loss to Detroit, Kansas City has won four in a row (3-1 SU). In Week 5, the Chiefs (4-1 SU/3-2 ATS) fended off Minnesota 27-20 laying 3.5 points on the road.

Tight end Travis Kelce suffered a first-half foot injury, but played through it in the second half, scoring a touchdown.

Denver continues last season's trend of being awful. The Broncos (1-4 SU/0-4-1 ATS) have yet to cash for bettors. In Week 5, Russell Wilson and Co. lost 31-21 as 2.5-point home favorites against the New York Jets.

Wilson sealed Denver's fate when his final-minute fumble was returned for a Jets touchdown.

Chase Michaelson, risk supervisor at The SuperBook, said the Chiefs were -10.5 on the Denver-K.C. lookahead line. That's where the number opened tonight, and it hasn't moved.

"Denver has continued to disappoint, with another uninspiring loss to the Jets today," Michaelson said. "It will be interesting to see if Travis Kelce is a full go with only three days of rest. We will need Denver. The public is all the way back in on K.C., after some [Chiefs] rustiness early in the season."

The total is already down a point to 50.5 on The SuperBook's NFL Week 6 odds board.

Kansas City is on a 15-0 SU firestorm in this AFC West rivalry, going 10-5 ATS. On Denver's plus side: a 4-1 ATS mark in the last five meetings.
