Key Fixture Breakdown & Predictions
Seattle Seahawks at Denver Broncos Prediction & Odds
Kickoff: Thursday, October 15 | 8:15 PM ET / 2:15 AM CET (Fri) | Empower Field at Mile High, Denver, CO
Match Preview
Thursday Night Football features an inter-conference battle at high altitude. Seattle enters Week 6 looking to bounce back after a physical divisional battle against San Francisco, while Denver wants to use the home-field edge at the Mile High. We are picking the Seahawks because the Super Bowl champs had a much tougher schedule and still showed more than the Broncos.
- Best Bet: Seahawks
Chicago Bears at Atlanta Falcons Prediction & Odds
Kickoff: Sunday, October 18 | 1 AM ET / 7 PM CET | Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, Georgia
Match Preview
Yes, both teams play efficient games, and yes, they have much better offenses than their defenses, but we go with UNDER. The reason is that both the Falcons and the Bears are two of the league’s most dominant running teams, yet their defenses are above average in that area. So the main weapon on each side could easily be neutralized. Also, it’s our personal opinion that the total line is inflated,
- Best Bet: Under 47.5
Dallas Cowboys at Green Bay Packers Prediction & Odds
Kickoff: Sunday, October 18 | 8:20 PM ET / 2:20 AM CET (Mon) | Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisconsin
Match Preview
Sunday Night Football brings a classic NFC rivalry to Lambeau Field. Green Bay seeks another success following a Week 5 win over the Bears, with Jordan Love on fire. Dallas lost at home to the Buccaneers, mostly because they don’t have a rushing attack, and everything they accomplish on offense is through the air. The bottom line is that both teams rely heavily on offense, while the respective defenses look sloppy. Therefore, we go with OVER 51.5 points.
- Best Bet: Over 51.5
