Maybe it’s because of the string of upsets this season, but several underdogs are getting too much respect in the NFL’s pick-em groups this week. Less than 50 percent of the contestants pick multiple home favorites, while a neutral field favorite is also receiving a surprising lack of love. Finding value is key when making selections in confidence and in office groups, and the experts at TeamRankings can help you do just that with their strategy tips for your NFL Week 6 picks.
Picks that are being underrated by the public can generate weekly earnings that make the difference between winning and losing an NFL group all season, while smart picks can drive success in weekly groups. TeamRankings is the only site that offers personalized picks that maximize your advantage in the NFL pick pools. Take a look at TeamRankings’ Soccer Pick ’em Picks, NFL Survivors Picks, and NFL Betting Picks. For a limited time, you can also get a three-day free trial of all their premium soccer teams.

NFL Week 6 Pick ’em Pool Picks – Tips, Strategy
How We Identify NFL Week 6 Value Picks
This article is written on Wednesday, but if the picks’ odds of winning and popularity numbers hold up, the teams below provide attractive trade-offs between risk and reward to differentiate their Week 6 picks from their opponents in the pool.
It is important to note that we are not necessarily saying that you should do everybody of these selections. In particular, some pesky picks can be unnecessarily risky for your group, even if they’re technically underrated. You should take a general level of risk with your picks that is appropriate for your group size and rules. All season pools often require more conservative selections than single week pools. If you want our game-by-game selection recommendations for everyone your specific pools, use our Football Pick ’em Picks Product.
Note: Odds of Win data and Estimated Popularity of the selections below may change between post time and start time. If you want the latest numbers, our product is updated several times a day.
Baltimore Ravens vs. LA Chargers
Point difference: -3.0
Choose popularity: 46%
Category: Favorite value
The Chargers have been on a roll, and the public is choosing them a little more often than the favorite Ravens. That means it is valuable to stay with Baltimore here, as the ideal situation to choose them is to get the favorite team when more than half of the tickets are in front of you.
WEEK 6 FANTASY PPR RANKINGS:
Field marshal | Running backwards | Wide receiver | Tight end | D / ST | Kicker
Cleveland Browns vs. Arizona Cardinals
Point difference: -2.5
Choose popularity: Four. Five%
Category: Favorite value
The same reasoning applies here, as the Browns are the favorites, but there are more pickers going with the Cardinals right now. Not surprisingly, the majority are on the undefeated Cardinals, but the only difference between these teams is some luck in close play.
The Cardinals just beat the 49ers by a touchdown in a game in which they made four separate stops on the fourth down. They also defeated Minnesota in Week 2 when the Vikings missed a highly feasible game-winning field goal attempt. Meanwhile, the Browns just lost a heartthrob to the Chargers on Sunday. They also lost to the Chiefs in Week 1 despite holding an advantage for most of the game.

Denver Broncos vs. Las Vegas
Point difference: -3.5
Choose popularity: Sixty-five%
Category: Favorite value
Not that many people go with the underdog Raiders in this one, but enough to keep Denver as a valuable play.
Denver has struggled for the past two weeks after a 3-0 start, but so has Las Vegas. The Raiders will also now be without the head coach who was calling their offense, increasing their downside risk.

Miami Dolphins vs Jacksonville Jaguars (in London)
Point difference: -3.5
Choose popularity: 62%
Category: Favorite value
This is a great value favorite week. The Dolphins have looked bad in their two games against the best teams in the NFL, being beaten by Buffalo and Tampa Bay. But Jacksonville is not in the same class.
The Dolphins could also win back QB Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) from the IR for this week’s game, giving them a boost that the public may not take into account.
Minnesota Vikings at Carolina Panthers
Point difference: -1.0
Choose popularity: 33%
Category: Unpopular release
Finally, we will close out with the Vikings, who nearly blew a 10-point lead against the Lions last week. The Vikings are the road favorites in Carolina, but they are relatively unpopular, with about twice as many innings currently choosing the Panthers.
