Best early bet for NFL Week 6: Miami Dolphins -14 over Carolina Panthers (-110)

It’s never fun laying 2 touchdowns in the NFL but I think we’ve got a spot to keep fading what I believe to be one of the worst teams in football. The Dolphins are going to be an extremely public side this week, but there is no reason to back a Panthers team that has massive holes on defense and is going up against the best offense in the NFL this season. Carolina was just shredded in Detroit and the team speed of Miami will be a major step up from what the Panthers just saw with the Lions. Furthermore, the Dolphins will get to stay at home following a comfortable 31-16 victory over the Giants in which the Dolphins didn’t even play all that well for long stretches of the game. There will be sharper sides to monitor this week, but I’d still grab the Dolphins at 2 touchdowns or better.

We’ll have NFL Week 6 picks for every game so make sure you keep checking back!
