Wilson has seen snap share separation from fellow RB George Halani the past two weeks, getting 60% and 59% of snaps equating to 21 and 20 carries. And with Halani fumbling twice (to Wilson’s one fumble) in Week 5, the Seahawks will continue to count on Wilson more. He faces a Denver defense will a notable weak point against the run. The Broncos gave up 155 rushing yards to the Chargers on Sunday and enter TNF ranked 28th in EPA allowed per carry, barfing up 4.7 yards per run to foes. Denver is also worst in explosive runs allowed (seven for 20+ yards, two for 40+). Projections aren’t overly bullish on Wilson, ranging from 55 to as many as 69 yards in Week 6. My forecast comes out to 68 yards on the ground considering Seattle is a road favorite with a run-positive game script in the second half.

Seattle tight end A.J. Barner caught three balls on five targets in the loss to San Francisco in Week 5. That was his busiest day since the loss to Washington and its blitz-centric schemes in Week 3, in which he was targeted nine times for five receptions. Thursday’s foe also likes to bring extra pass rushers, with the Broncos blitzing at the eighth highest rate. Denver has also allowed the eighth most yards and 15th most receptions to tight ends entering Week 6. Barner has been much more involved in the Seattle passing game under new OC Brian Fleury – a former tight ends coach.  His snap share has climbed each week and he’s 15th among all TE in number of routes run. Thursday’s forecasts have his receptions between 2.8 and 3.4 with the 6-foot-6 Barner acting as a pressure release when Sam Darnold feels the heat.

The Texans and Jaguars rank ninth and third in defensive DVOA and fifth and seventh in defensive success rate. Houston is also travelling to London for its third road game in four weeks, and I’m expecting the offense to have trouble with the uptick in class after facing the Dallas Cowboys and Tennessee Titans the past two weeks. Similarly, Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence will have his hands full against a Houston pass rush with 10 sacks across their past three games.

The Panthers are fifth in offensive yards per play and sixth in passing EPA. the Eagles are 22nd in defensive EPA, so look for Carolina's explosive offense to roll.

For as good as the Jets' defense has been, the Patriots have been pretty damn solid themselves. New England ranks sixth in total defense, 14th in defensive EPA/play, and is taking on a subpar Jets offense ranked 26th in total yards. I'm fine with fading Geno Smith and a streaky Drake Maye, who are a total 7-3 to the Under this year. No matter how you slice it, this is going to be a tough defensive battle on a cold Sunday afternoon. The numbers are screaming at the top of the rooftops to take this Under, you should listen.

The New York Jets' defense is severely underrated this season. The unit is giving up just 19.2 points per game, which ranks fifth in the NFL, and is sixth in defensive EPA/play. New York's defense is one of the best bend-don't-break side in the game, too, allowing opponents to score at just a 50% clip - good for sixth best in football. As you can tell, I have a lot of faith in this unit. It'll be a pure heat check game for Drake Maye, who's thrown for seven touchdowns and over 600 yards across his last two weeks after a horrendous start to his season. I'm expecting a tight divisional tilt here - it's one of my best trades for Week 6.

Kansas City’s offense is rolling in Episode 2 of the Eric Bieniemy Experience, with the team rating in the Top 10 of all the sexy advanced metrics and placing fourth in points per play. The Chiefs face a Bolts team that can’t seem to string together two positive plays before either turning the ball over or getting flagged for a penalty. The Chargers have the ninth lowest success rate on third down and picked up just 14 first downs in a loss to Denver Sunday. This will be L.A.’s third road game in the past four weeks and a much-needed bye in Week 7 could serve as look-ahead bait for the Bolts.

Jordan Love has thrown for 300+ yards in three of five games so far and faces a dreadful Dallas Cowboys defense on Sunday Night Football. He's has enjoyed past meetings with the Cowboys, amassing 337 yards and three touchdowns last season and connecting for three TDs and 272 yards in Green Bay’s infamous ass-waxing of Dallas in the 2023 Wild Card Round. The Cowboys are off an embarrassing loss to Tampa Bay at home last Thursday. Three turnovers sucked all the juice out of a big night for QB Dak Prescott, who threw for 316 yards in Week 5. Dallas’ defense is getting blown away by explosive downfield plays, ranking dead last in EPA allowed per dropback and opponent success rate per pass. The Cowboys are also giving up the fifth most points per play.

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:

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.

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.

The computer picks, and your handicapping of totals is more about how you think both teams will score points, not which team has the edge to win.
