Neil Parker
Betting Analyst

Tuten has handled 60% of the team’s red-zone carries and boasts an elite 3.83 yards after contact per attempt and 109.4 PFF elusive rating. He’s also scored in seven of his past 13 games and played 55% of the offensive snaps for the Jags this year. With Houston allowing five rushing touchdowns in 2026, I’d back Tuten to find the end zone to 43%.

Woody Marks logo Woody Marks o14.5 Rushing Attempts (-111)

Neil Parker
Betting Analyst

Marks to handle 15 or more carries is in play to 56% because he's set for a lead role in the Houston backfield after rushing for a respectable 4.1 yards per carry for 62 total in Week 5, and David Montgomery (groin) sidelined. I’m also expecting the Houston offense to look to attack on the ground more this week to help mitigate a Jacksonville pass rush ranking seventh in pressure percentage. Houston has the fifth-lowest EPA per dropback when pressured, and QB C.J. Stroud has a 46.2 completion percentage for just 4.8 yards per attempt under pressure, after all.

Germie Bernard will be the WR2 in the passing game this week with Roman Wilson, Ben Skowronek, and Michael Pittman out. When Wilson exited last week, Bernard played 93% of the snaps and posted a 6/80/0 line on a team-high nine targets. Aaron Rodgers has also talked up the rookie, which isn't something that happens every day. A WR2 in this offense should be priced shorter than 4x, not the 4.35x available on Friday. In games where he's played 30+ snaps, he's seen 8+ targets in each. He's also seen a red-zone target in three of his four games. The Bucs have two starters in the secondary listed as questionable, making a play on the rookie even more enticing at a long price.

The Steelers defense has been particularly weak when opposing pass-catchers have gotten into space, giving up an average of 5.33 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) this year: the 5th-most in football.. As it relates to safeties getting after the quarterback, Pittsburgh's group of safeties has been very bad this year, profiling as the worst in football.

Senior Betting Analyst

With Lamar Jackson out, the Ravens defense stepped up in Week 5. This stop unit is learning a brand-new system under head coach Jesse Minter and has been plagued with injuries in the opening month. Baltimore is a prideful crew that stepped up in the second half of SNF and ranks among the top 10 defenses in EPA allowed and opponent success rate over the last two weeks. The pass rush could have LB Trey Hendrickson back for Week 6. His pressure helps the Ravens’ blitz-heavy schemes get home and finally start registering sacks and QB hits. The Cleveland Browns’ erratic offense hasn’t faced a foe this stingy since a Week 1 wash against Jacksonville.

Andrews’ touchdown prices were below 2/1 in the first four weeks, scoring only one touchdown. With Huntley in for Lamar Jackson, the TEs ATTD priced jumped to +240 for SNF in Week 5. He would have cashed in but dropped a ball in the end zone. Andrews’ Week 6 touchdown markets climb to +265 against the Browns, who have been beat up by rival TEs and have allowed three touchdowns to the position. Coach Minter talked about Andrews' drop after the win vs. Atlanta and I expect he'll go back to the veteran when inside the red zone Sunday.

I got this at 6x and have the fair price around 5x. Romeo Doubs isn't impressing in an offense that has found a new gear over the last two weeks. Doubs had just one catch despite playing 85% of the snaps and running a route on 92% of dropbacks. Meanwhile, speedster Kyle Williams had 91 yards and a TD on three targets despite just a 34% route share. Williams is getting more looks and played 41% of the snaps in 3-WR sets. With Mack Hollins out, Williams will get his chances to impress and stretch the New York defense in an offense that ranks No. 1 in EPA/dropback over the last two weeks. He doesn't need a lot of volume to cash this.

New York’s aggressive pass rush brings extra bodies at the fourth highest rate, sitting T-3 with 17 sacks and owning the No. 4 pass rush win rate. Glenn’s man-centric coverage gives up the third lowest yards per attempt and the fifth fewest yards after the catch. New England’s deteriorating pass protection already has QB Drake Maye feeling the heat, with the eighth highest pressure rate allowed. Maye has also struggled versus man coverage in 2026, owning a completion rate of 46% and a passer rating short of 78.0 versus man.

The Rams are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games after a loss, with five wins by 14-plus points. They obliterated Arizona by 28 and 17 in games after an outright loss last season.

Tyler Higbee is at a three-week TD price high of 3.6x, which I'd play to 2.35x this week. He might be fourth on the offensive totem pole, but Higbee has emerged as the most productive tight end in this offense. He's had 5+ catches in three straight games, is coming off a season-high in yards, and has 18 grabs for 212 yards since Week 3. There's enough volume in this offense to support a fourth mouth, as the Rams rank second in football in plays per game (70.6) with the fourth-highest pass rate over expected at +2.8%. Matthew Stafford has attempted 50+ passes in three straight weeks. The Cardinals are one of just two teams allowing 70+ receiving yards and 0.80+ TDs per game to opposing tight ends this year.

The Chargers offense is an embarrassment, but their defense actually qualifies as good, ranking in the top 10 in YPP allowed, third-down defense and red-zone defense. Kansas City ranks fifth in red-zone defense, so expect a lot of field goal attempts when the teams get in close. Four of the last five meetings between these teams finished below 40 points, and both teams’ run-heavy approaches should keep the clock moving.

With Rashee Rice not practicing midweek after having Week 5 off, it's looking more likely that Jalen Royals will run as the No. 2 wide receiver Sunday vs. the Chargers. That should price Royals at 4x, not the 5.5x available Friday. The loss of Tyquan Thornton only opens up more snaps for Royals, who should see 70% of the snaps against a defense that currently has six starters listed as questionable for Sunday. It's been a couple of weeks since we've seen the Chiefs, who rank fourth in EPA/play, but with an implied team total of 25 points, Royals as a WR2 is a good look at this price.

Vegas head coach Klint Kubiak said Washington wasn’t given enough opportunities in Week 5, and Buffalo has allowed the fourth-highest rushing success rate while ranking 19th in rush defense DVOA. With nothing scary about the matchup, I’d back Washington to record 15 or more rushing yards to 56% because he’s averaged 5.0 yards per carry with a rock-solid 3.36 yards after contact per carry.

Buffalo is 4-1 to the Over, with games averaging 61 combined points. The Raiders have allowed 34 points per game over their last three. They’re totally screwed against this Bills offense. Las Vegas can contribute, though, having scored 27 points in both of their home games. Buffalo has surrendered at least 29 in four of five outings. Neither defense should ruin the fun. Don’t overthink it.

Dallas has produced nine consecutive road Overs, averaging 58.1 combined points. Its defense ranks dead last in yards per play allowed and opponent third-down conversion percentage. Green Bay just dropped 31 points on Chicago, but its defense sits 25th on third down and 31st in redzone touchdown percentage allowed. Both offenses should sustain and finish plenty of drives. Both punters should consider bringing something to read.

At 42%, give me Christian Watson to score a touchdown for the Green Bay Packers against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. I price Watson closer to 48% to find the end zone, giving us a solid edge over the market. Dallas has struggled mightily against the run, and when Green Bay gets into the red zone and approaches the goal line, the Cowboys may have to stack the box to slow down the ground game. That could leave Watson isolated on the boundary, where he would only need to win his one-on-one matchup to deliver a green checkmark on this prop.

He's rushed for 29+ yards in all four Overs and projects for 29.4 yards on the ground Monday night, making 20+ yards at 44% the best +EV prop in this game. I'd buy it up to 54%. The Commanders are allowing 19.4 rushing yards per game to opposing QBs, the seventh-highest mark in the league. Jameis Winston (27 yards on a 2.5-yard total), Dak Prescott (26 yards on a 12.5-yard total), and Jalen Hurts (46 yards on a 30.5-yard total) all set season-high rushing marks against this defense, beating their closing rushing totals by an average of 17 yards.

San Francisco’s defense is tough, but chasing points could create plenty of extra scrambling opportunities.

View 13 Picks

For every matchup in an NFL season, our NFL computer produces selections for a variety of different betting angles. Our computer picks are based on a proprietary algorithm that values each team in the current week to produce moneyline, spread, and point total selections.

The table above, below the game picks, tracks our NFL computer's results over the last 100 games, outlining the record and profit for selections, based on $100 unit size. We track the profit based on both opening and closing lines for every matchup.

How to Use NFL Computer Picks

The easiest way to utilize our computer picks is to simply follow our selections for every matchup, what you'd call ailing the computer." But there are other ways to utilize our NFL computer picks, as well.

You can use our NFL computer as a jumping-off point to do more research into specific lines, cross-referencing with expert picks, which can be found above the selections for some matchups, recent NFL betting trends, and more.

As well, you can gauge the confidence of the matchup. The larger the projected score, the more confident the computer is in a specific pick.

Or, if you want to implement a system, betting only on underdogs, for example, you can look for matchups in which our computer likes the underdog to inform which picks you're going to hone in on for a given week.

We have these computer picks for every sport you're looking to wager on, as well:

Free Computer Picks by Odds Shark

Moneyline

NFL moneyline picks are the simplest way to get in on the NFL action. All you have to do is simply bet on which team you think will win the game.

For moneyline picks, the favorite is represented with a minus sign (-) in front of the odds, while the underdog has a plus (+). However, you don't get the same profit for picking an underdog compared to a favorite. If the favored team is -120, a $100 bet on them would pay out $80 in profit and $180 total, if they win the game. The underdog winning at +150 would pay out a $150 profit, $250 total.

We have a complete breakdown of how to read NFL moneyline odds for these NFL computer picks.

Spread

While moneyline picks are the simplest, picking NFL games against the spread is probably the most common wager for regular NFL bettors.

To bet an NFL spread, you wager on whether a team will win by a certain number of points or more or if they'll lose by fewer points than the spread. For example, if the spread is -6.5 for the New England Patriots, you would win the bet if they win the game by 7 points or more. Or if a team is +6.5, you're betting on if they'll win outright or lose by fewer than 6.5 points.

There is a correlation between moneyline odds and the spread, as books set these lines based on the same information.

You can read more about NFL spreads here.

Totals (Over/Under)

If you aren’t entirely sold on which NFL team will win or cover in an NFL game, you can still use our NFL computer picks to bet on the point total.

As opposed to taking a side, in total or Over/Under betting, you wager on whether both NFL teams will combine for a final score of more than (Over) or less than (Under) the total number of points set by oddsmakers.
