Best NFL underdog picks and predictions for Week 6
By Jess Root,

Underdogs didn’t fare so well in Week 5. Out of 14 games, only 3 underdogs (Arizona Cardinals, Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants) won straight up and another (Indianapolis Colts) covered in a loss.
As such, our Week 5 picks weren’t great. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost to the Atlanta Falcons in overtime and the Denver Broncos beat the Las Vegas Raiders, but the Colts covered as 3.5-point underdogs in a 3-point loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
JAGUARS (+110) vs. Bears in London – 9:30 a.m. (NFL Network)
The Jaguars are 6-5 all-time in London and QB Trevor Lawrence is 3-1 in 4 career starts across the pond. Their offense came alive last week with 37 points. After scoring a combined 40 points in the first 3 weeks of the season, they have scored 20 and 37.
The Chicago Bears have won 2 in a row, and rookie QB Caleb Williams is finding his stride. He has 3 TD passes and no INTs in the last 2 games. But London is a different animal, and Williams’ inexperience means the Jaguars, who play in London yearly, will have the advantage.
BROWNS +9 (-110) at Eagles – 1 p.m. (CBS)
The Cleveland Browns are coming off a 21-point defeat, but their previous 2 losses were by no more than 6 points.
The Philadelphia Eagles were also blown out in a 17-point loss to Tampa Bay Sept. 29 and are coming off their bye. Their 2 wins have been by no more than 5 points.
Philly hasn’t scored more than 21 points in its last 3 games. Cleveland has scored between 13 and 18 every game.

COMMANDERS +6.5 (-110) at Ravens – 1 p.m. (CBS)
The Baltimore Ravens have scored 28, 35 and 41 points in their last 3 games. But while facing good offenses like Dallas and the Cincinnati Bengals, the Ravens allowed 25 and 38 points in a pair of 3-point wins.
The Washington Commanders are rolling offensively, scoring 38, 42 and 34 points in the last 3 weeks.
The Ravens can score, but they also give up points, and the Commanders are 1st in the NFL with 31 points per game this season.
