Well, after two straight winning weeks, we came back down to Earth in Week 6. In two tight end props I liked, Tucker Kraft fell just short of hitting 40+ receiving yards, and Juwan Johnson laid a complete goose egg. The Patriots were up 10 late, but a Jets field goal meant New England didn't cover -7.5.
While D'Andre Swift found the end zone to complete one leg of the parlay, Drake London didn't score. He now has the most receptions without a touchdown across the entire NFL. We did hit on the Texans' money line over the Jaguars, so at least it wasn't a completely lost weekend, but it was a bad one for sure.
Somehow, the 4-2 Browns are only 1.5-point favorites at the 1-5 Titans. And how did the Titans get that win, you ask? Last week, the Colts completely melted down in every facet, including giving up a blocked punt for a touchdown and a 58-yard punt return.
Indianapolis was cruising before that. The loss led to GM Chris Ballard being fired. I just don't see the Browns doing the same.
Deshaun Watson has come back down to Earth after a hot start, but this is a really good defensive team facing one of the league's worst offenses. I'll confidently take Cleveland to get to 5-2 and continue what has been the most pleasantly surprising start in football. Daniel Jones has six interceptions in six games this year.
Now he faces a ferocious Brian Flores defense that leads the NFL in pressure rate. Jones has a tendency to make poor decisions under pressure, and the Vikings have six interceptions this season, tied for the fifth-most in the league through six weeks, even though they've already had their bye. Here are Ashton Jeanty's rushing numbers from the last two games: That doesn't inspire a ton of confidence, even against a banged-up Rams defensive line.
