ESPN's NFL experts break down 15 predictions for Week 6, covering upsets, projected stats, fantasy sleepers and touchdown scorers. Sports betting analyst Pamela Maldonado targets three underdogs including the Dallas Cowboys +1.5 over the Packers, citing their league-leading offensive efficiency. Analytics writer Seth Walder projects standout performances, while fantasy analyst Eric Moody highlights sleepers like Rams TE Tyler Higbee.
Former NFL safety Matt Bowen predicts breakout TD scorers, and Ben Solak offers three wild-card picks. The Cowboys face a tough Packers defense that ranks eighth in fewest passing yards allowed, but Dallas converts nearly half their third downs and leads in scoring possessions. The Giants (+1.5) take on the Saints in a matchup where Jameis Winston can exploit New Orleans' struggling defense with running plays and slot routes.
The Houston Texans +3 visit Jacksonville, where despite a stingy 14-point defensive average, the Jaguars allow 7.7 yards per attempt to top receivers, giving C. J. Stroud and Nico Collins a chance to attack.
