As Week 6 of the NFL season kicks off, the Los Angeles Chargers are standing alone in a brutal category: they are the only team in the league without a spread victory so far this season. Yeah, you heard that right, they cannot cover to save their lives.
Chargers’ Cover Crisis and KC’s Post-Bye Blip
It’s rough out there for the Bolts, who roll into Sunday as 7.5-point underdogs against the Chiefs. Honestly, who can blame anyone for setting that line? Chargers QB Justin Herbert has been struggling immensely this year, and it is showing up in a big way. On the flip side, their Sunday opponent, Kansas City, already had an early bye week, and there is a stat that should make you pump the brakes a bit: the Chiefs are just 2-7 against the spread following their last nine byes. That is a trend you absolutely cannot ignore if you are looking at that game.
QBs on the Rise, DFS Gems, and a Parlay You’ll Want to See
While Herbert has been a headache, other quarterbacks are absolutely exploding. Aaron Rodgers, C.J. Stroud, and Drake Maye have all come on strong lately, and their fantasy football rankings for Week 6 are climbing fast. If you are into DFS, the experts are loving Steelers RB Jaylen Warren and Rams WR Davante Adams as top picks for the main Sunday slate. And get this: SportsLine’s model, which has banked over $5,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks, has cooked up a five-team parlay for Week 6 that could pay around 25-1. One of the biggest legs of that parlay is backing the Packers on the moneyline at -118 against the Cowboys on ‘SNF.’ The model has Green Bay winning that one in a whopping 61% of simulations.
So, Week 6 is setting up for some wild action. Can the Chargers finally get off the cover schneid against a Chiefs team that has historically struggled against the spread after their bye? And will Rodgers, Stroud, or Maye light up your fantasy matchups? You definitely do not want to miss the Chiefs and Chargers slug it out on Sunday, or see if the Packers can pull off that ‘SNF’ upset against the Cowboys. Get ready, because it is going to be a wild one.
