Coming off a 12-4 week for +4.98 units, I’m looking to keep the momentum rolling with my NFL moneyline picks for Week 6.

This week’s card is headlined by the 49ers seeking vengeance in the Pacific Northwest, while I’m also backing a few road favorites and sprinkling in some underdogs across a loaded Sunday slate.

Let’s keep stacking winners in my latest NFL picks.

My NFL moneyline record is 42-22 this season for +7.48 units.

Expert Week 5 NFL moneyline picks

Buccaneers vs. Cowboys: Cowboys Cowboys 

Not only was Jalon Daniels’ debut a complete disaster, but the Bucs’ defense is getting shredded, allowing the fourth-most yards per play heading into this TNF showdown.

Dak Prescott and the Cowboys’ offense are riding high after a thrilling win in Houston, and that momentum will carry over into a home win at Jerry World.

Check out our full Buccaneers vs. Cowboys predictions!

Eagles vs. Jaguars: Jaguars Jaguars 

Jacksonville has plenty of experience playing overseas, and this London “home game” features a Jags team boasting an AFC-best +51 point differential.

With Philly’s offense banged up and DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, and Saquon Barkley all potentially sidelined, I’ll take Jacksonville to get the job done across the pond.

Browns vs. Jets: Browns Browns 

New York is coming off a messy loss in which it ran fewer plays than Chicago recorded first downs.

Now facing a red-hot Cleveland team coming off an extra three days of rest, expect the Browns to take care of business in front of the Dawg Pound.

Bengals vs. Dolphins: Bengals Bengals 

Miami is averaging just 11.5 points per game heading into Week 5.

Cincy’s “much-improved” defense has been mostly fugazi so far, but Joe Burrow & Co. won’t need to be perfect to pull away in the Sunshine State.

Raiders vs. Patriots: Raiders Raiders 

As Ed Scimia breaks down in his Raiders vs. Patriots early leans, Las Vegas has been the better team on both sides of the ball:

"While the Patriots have slightly better raw numbers, the advanced metrics favor the Raiders. Las Vegas ranks 12th in offensive EPA per play, compared to 21st for New England, and eighth in defensive EPA, compared to 12th for the Patriots."

I like the Raiders to bounce back in Foxborough.

Vikings vs. Saints: Vikings Vikings

While Minnesota’s defense continues to bring the heat, the Vikings’ offense has flamed out for the most part under Kyler Murray.

Luckily, getting Justin Jefferson back against a Saints defense that ranks 30th in EPA per play is the perfect remedy for Murray & Co.

Minny improves to 5-0 in the Big Easy.

Texans vs. Titans: Texans Texans

If I wasn’t already out on Cam Ward, his latest postgame presser put the proverbial nail in the coffin.

The return of Nico Collins finally has Houston moving the ball with confidence, and the Texans will nab their first win of the season in Nashville.

Giants vs. Commanders: Commanders Commanders 

Jameis Winston continues to be a turnover machine, while Washington is banking on Jayden Daniels returning under center for this NFC East rivalry.

The Commanders are 4-0 against the Giants dating back to 2024, and they'll continue to own this matchup.

Colts vs. Steelers: Colts Colts 

Indy's defense has stepped up over the last few weeks, limiting opponents to just 2.85 yards per carry over that stretch.

With Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers' offense remaining stagnant, give me Indy to make it three wins in a row.

Bears vs. Packers: Bears Bears 

Chicago is coming off its best defensive performance of the season, with the Bears registering three sacks and seven QB hits while holding the Jets to 0-for-7 on third down.

Now facing a Green Bay team that nearly blew another double-digit lead (shocker, I know), expect Dennis Allen to blitz the hell out of Jordan Love and take advantage of a shaky Packers O-line.

Broncos vs. Chargers: Chargers Chargers 

Bo Nix’s passing chart this season should alarm Broncos Country, and Denver has produced just 13 first-half points through four games.

With Pat Surtain II sidelined for this clash at SoFi, I’m buying low on the Chargers as a home dog.

Lions vs. Cardinals: Lions Lions 

Detroit’s defense can’t stop a nosebleed, but Jacoby Brissett isn’t exactly striking fear into anyone.

Arizona’s stop unit just gave up 36 points to Jameis Winston and the Giants, so I’ll take Detroit’s offense to do the heavy lifting (again) in the desert.

49ers vs. Seahawks: 49ers 49ers 

The loss of former OC Klint Kubiak has been evident for Seattle’s offense, particularly on third downs, where the Seahawks rank 31st in conversion rate. Meanwhile, Brock Purdy and the 49ers lead the league in that category.

With Sam Darnold seeing ghosts again, I’m rolling with the 49ers to exact some revenge in the PNW.

Ravens vs. Falcons: Falcons Falcons 

The chances of Lamar Jackson starting Sunday night in Atlanta are slim at best, and even if he does, it’s hard to look past a Falcons team that has found its rhythm with Michael Penix Jr. under center and boasts the league’s highest pressure rate on D.

Best of luck to Tyler "Snoop" Huntley. 

Bills vs. Rams: Rams Rams 

With Ed Oliver and D.J. Moore’s statuses up in the air, a Rams team fresh off escaping the jaws of defeat in Philly will have the upper hand at home.

Expect Sean McVay to lean heavily on Kyren Williams and Blake Corum against a Bills defense that has been gashed for 274 rushing yards over its last two games.
