NFL Lines: Week 6 Opening Lines, Movement, Thoughts

Brought to you by: Linemakers.sportingnews.com

Here’s a look at the opening point spreads for Week 6 of the 2013 NFL season.

Lines are from the LVH SuperBook.

Giants at Bears (-8)

Winless through five weeks? No one saw thiscoming for the Giants. New York has also failed to cover single spread this season. Chicago is on its own sudden bad run, dropping its second straight game, 26-18, at home to the thriving Saints on Sunday. The line dropped to 7.5 at the LVH Monday morning.

Raiders at Chiefs (-10.5)

Kansas City won and covered in Tennessee to remain undefeated (they are 4-1 ATS). The SuperBoook reopened K.C. at -9.5 Monday morning, following Oakland's win over San Diego in Sunday's late-late game.

Eagles (-1.5) at Bucs

Michael Vick left Sunday’s game against the Giants with a hamstring injury and was replaced by Nick Foles. That didn’t stop the LVH from opening Philly as a favorite on the road against the embattled Bucs.

Packers (-3) at Ravens

Both squads tallied wins Sunday, Green Bay at home vs. a Megatron-less Lions squad, Baltimore on the road against the Dolphins.

Lions (-2.5) at Browns

The Wynn opened Detroit -2.5, and William Hill hung -3 (even). Sans Calvin Johnson, Detroit was listless offensively and fell to 3-2 at Green Bay. Cleveland lost Brian Hoyer for the season Thursday night and has reverted to Brandon Weeden at quarterback.

Panthers at Vikings (-2.5)

Carolina continues to disappoint, falling 22-6 as a field-goal favorite in Arizona, and rumors are circulating about a coaching change. Minnesota was off this week. The Wynn opened the Vikes -2.

Rams at Texans (-7)

St. Louis got a visit from the right team – Jacksonville – and got its first win since Week 1. Houston was in San Francisco.

Steelers (-2.5) at Jets

The LVH and William Hill opened Pitt -2.5. The Wynn opened at -2, took immediate favorite money, and was up to -3 within about 15 minutes. The LVH was showing -3 (even) Monday morning.

Bengals (-7.5) at Bills

The Bengals are 3-0 at home after getting past New England Sunday afternoon. They’re also 0-2 on the road, with losses in Chicago and Cleveland. William Hill opened Cincy at a less-expensive -7.

Titans at Seahawks (-13.5)

Seattle was dealt its first loss of the season in Indy on Sunday. Tennessee, with Ryan Fitzpatrick under center, fell to 3-2 at home vs. K.C. The Seahawks don’t lose much at home but will be laying a chunky price at CenturyLink Field next week.

Jaguars at Broncos (-28)

By most accounts, this is biggest point spread in NFL history. The LVH actually opened this game at 26.5 in early wagering last week, took Jags money at that price, and then wrote some Denver tickets at -26. Denver won but failed to cover in Dallas Sunday, while Jacksonville sunk further into the abyss, losing 34-20 as 12-point dogs in St. Louis. The Jags are 0-5 SU and ATS.

Arizona at 49ers (-10.5)

The Cards won an ugly contest at home vs. the Panthers and opened as double-digit dogs for their visit to a rejuvenated San Francisco group, who registered a convincing win Sunday night over Houston. The line was reposted at 11 Monday morning

Saints at Patriots (-2)

Easily one of the most intriguing games of the Week 6 slate. Both teams had tough road games Sunday, but New Orleans was the only one of the two able to maintain its undefeated record. The Wynn opened New England -2.5 but took favorite money and was up to -3 (-120) shortly thereafter. The line was also nudged upward, to -2.5, at the SuperBook.

Redskins at Cowboys (-4.5)

Dallas was certainly game in their loss at home to Denver that saw the teams combine for 99 points. They get a Washington team off bye whose lone win of the season is against the Raiders. The Cowboys opened -5 at the Wynn. They were reopened at that price Monday morning at the SuperBook, and the price was adjusted even further, to -5.5, about an hour later.

Colts at Chargers (pick ‘em)

Indy stared down the Seahawks and is now a nifty 4-1 SU on the season. San Diego turned the ball over five times in its loss at Oakland Sunday night, and the Colts reopened at -1 Monday for the Week 6 Monday nighter.
