Ok, Let's dive in!

1. Tank Bigsby o38.5 Rush Yards Prop (-115) BetOnline

Let's kick things off across the Pond as the Jacksonville Jaguars, fresh off their first win of the season, square off with Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears in London, England. 

The London games are always a fantastic spectacle, as the Jets and the Vikings put on a show for the Brits last week that came down to the wire. This game should be another tight one, as the Jags look to build off their first win of the season & the Bears are 3-2, coming off their best game of the season in Week 5 against the Panthers.

While I am not sure which team comes out on top, I LOVE what we are seeing from Tank Bigsby in the Jacksonville backfield. Bigsby has been not only arguably the best back in Jacksonville, he has been one of the best and most efficient runners in the entire NFL through 5 weeks.

Tank Bigsby this season:
* 1st in Rush Yards Over Expectation Per Attempt
* 3rd in PFF grades
* 50.0% Success Rate
* 1st in Yards Per Carry

Travis Etienne this season:
* 18th in Rush Yards Over Expectation Per Attempt
* 55th in PFF grades
* 56.6% Success Rate
* 27th in Yards Per… pic.twitter.com/EhijcgYYEL

I mean, the numbers speak for themselves.

•  1st in Rush Yards Over Expectation Per Attempt
•  3rd in PFF grades
• 50.0% Success Rate
• 1st in Yards Per Carry

Bigsby has been fantastic.

Now, I don't believe that Jacksonville is going to totally abandon giving Travis Etienne carries but a more split load should be expected moving forward with how good Bigsby has been. He is running hard, finding space and is the hardest back in football to bring down at first contact.

Bigby is coming off back to back 90+ yard games and in London, I could see the Jaguars wanting to run the ball to help out quarterback Trevor Lawrence and keep this good Chicago defense on their toes.

This line is just too low for the most efficient back in football right now. As long as he gets 10+ carries, this bet should cash with ease.

2. Terry McLaurin o61.5 Receiving Yards Prop (-115) MyBookie

Next up, let's go to the game of the week in the Battle of Maryland between the Commanders and the Ravens. Before the season started, many would have said this game would not be one worth tuning into but low and behold, this might be the cream of the crop for Week 6.

The 2 best offenses in the NFL go head to head and luckily for us, neither of these defenses are very good either.

So let's make some money on it and look no further than WR 1 for the Manders, Scary Terry.

McLaurin has been awesome this season, leading the Commanders in targets, catches and yards. He has always been a stud but now that he has competent (and dare I say elite) QB play from Jayden Daniels, he is soaring.

This week, Terry gets a go at one of the worst pass defenses in football, as the Ravens are allowing the most pass yards in the NFL.

This is probably due to the Ravens having the best Rush Defense in the NFL so teams are HAVING to pass to move the ball. But they are and they are doing it WELL. So let's capitalize and take the best pass catcher who should reap the benefits.

I expect a massive day from McLaurin, and will be laddering his yards to 100 for (+425) at BetOnline.

3. Calvin Ridley o45.5 Receiving Yards Prop (-115) BetOnline

Let's finish things off in Nashville as the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts square off in a  battle for 2nd place in the AFC South.

I know it is tough to want to take a prop that has anything to do with Will Levis and this inconsistent Titans offense but if there as ever a week for them to turn it around, this is the perfect matchup to do so.

The Colts defense is one of the worst in football right now and is getting TORCHED through the air. Look at what opposing #1 Wide receivers have done against the Colts so far this season:

• Week 1: Nico Collins- 6 Receptions, 117 yards
• Week 2: Romeo Doubs- 3 Receptions, 68 yards
• Week 3: Rome Odunze- 6 Receptions, 110 Yards, TD
• Week 4: George Pickens- 7 Receptions, 113 Yards
• Week 5: Brian Thomas Jr.- 5 receptions, 122 Yards, TD

In comes Calvin Ridley and while Ridley has been underachieving so far this season, he has shown flashes of being a big play threat and has been a couple plays away from having a couple of monster games.

The Perfect Week for a Bounce Back for Ridley

Even with a couple of dud performances the past 2 weeks, Ridley has still managed 47+ receiving yards in 2 of the first 4 games of the season going up against top 10 pass defenses in the NFL.

If there was ever a week for QB Will Levis to air it out and hit Ridley for some big explosive plays, this is the secondary to do it against. And the Titans know it.

Head Coach Brian Callahan came out and said that the coaching staff needed to do a better job of getting Ridley involved in the offense.

I expect a massive day from Ridley, and wouldn't be surprised if he found the end zone as well. For +200, I love this for a 0.5 unit sprinkle at BetOnline.

He could hit his yards and cash his TD prop in one big play. Wouldn't that be nice? 😉
