WEEK 6 NFL PICKS FOR BET REGAL

BALTIMORE (-4) VS TENNESSEE, in London

The Ravens (3-2) could be 5-0 if they didn’t botch the clock and a couple of plays. The Titans (2-3) are struggling to score and it seems only a matter of time before they turn to one of the younger quarterbacks to replace Ryan Tannehill.

PREDICTION: RAVENS, 22-19

(-10) SAN FRANCISCO AT CLEVELAND

The 49ers (5-0) are the NFL’s most complete team, but could be due for a slight letdown – meaning a victory by less than a double-digit margin – after dominating the Cowboys. If Deshaun Watson can’t play, the Browns (2-2) have no chance to stay close.

BEST BET: 49ERS, 26-17

WASHINGTON AT ATLANTA (-2.5)

Will the Commanders (2-3) who started the season with two wins and pushed Philadelphia to overtime show up or will it be the team that was pounded by lowly Chicago? Desmond Ridder is coming off his most impressive performance in a comeback win for the Falcons (3-2).

UPSET SPECIAL: COMMANDERS, 23-20

CAROLINA AT MIAMI (-13.5)

It’s been a disaster for first-year coach Frank Reich and rookie No. 1 pick Bryce Young as the winless Panthers (0-5) are banged-up and beat up. Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins (4-1) won’t have running back De’Von Achane but their high-flying offense has plenty of other playmakers.

PREDICTION: DOLPHINS, 30-17

(-3) MINNESOTA AT CHICAGO

The Vikings (1-4) have already matched last season’s loss total with all four losses by seven points or fewer. They’ve had some bad luck along the way and now won’t have All-Pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson for a few weeks. Justin Fields has eight TD passes in the past two games for the Bears (1-4), who had a few extra days to prepare for this one.

PREDICTION: VIKINGS, 24-20

INDIANAPOLIS AT JACKSONVILLE (-4)

The Jaguars (3-2) are back home after a London sweep and aim to sweep the Colts (3-2). Gardner Minshew faces his former team as he fills in for rookie QB Anthony Richardson. Expect him to turn around and give the ball often to Zack Moss and Jonathan Taylor.

PREDICTION: JAGUARS, 23-22

(-1.5) NEW ORLEANS AT HOUSTON

The Saints (3-2) need to build off handing Bill Belichick the worst home loss of his coaching career. Impressive rookie QB C.J. Stroud faces his toughest test with the Texans (2-3).

PREDICTION: SAINTS, 20-16

SEATTLE AT CINCINNATI (-3)

A healthy Joe Burrow made all the difference for the Bengals (2-3). And of course, an always-open Ja’Marr Chase. The Seahawks (3-1) are coming off a bye and are a dangerous team, but Cincinnati has no margin for error after a poor start.

PREDICTION: BENGALS, 27-21

NEW ENGLAND AT LAS VEGAS (-3)

The Patriots (1-4) have been outscored 72-3 the past two weeks and Belichick has to find a way to keep the team from spiraling. There will be plenty of familiarity facing QB Jimmy Garoppolo and coach Josh McDaniels, the former Patriots offensive coordinator. A short work week after a Monday night win is a disadvantage for the Raiders (2-3).

PREDICTION: PATRIOTS, 19-17

(-3) DETROIT AT TAMPA BAY

Jared Goff and the high-octane Lions (4-1) are off to an excellent start. So are the surprising Buccaneers (3-1), who had extra time to prepare for this one after a bye. It’ll be a big test for Todd Bowles and Tampa’s defense.

PREDICTION: LIONS, 26-20

ARIZONA AT LOS ANGELES RAMS (-7)

The Cardinals (1-4) play tough despite their talent and record. Cooper Kupp gave the Rams (2-3) a boost for a half last week until Philadelphia’s defense tightened up.

PREDICTION: RAMS, 23-17

(-7) PHILADELPHIA AT NEW YORK JETS

Jalen Hurts and the Eagles (5-0) keep finding ways to win. They’ve got a tough challenge against a strong defense. The Jets (2-3) saved their season with a big win at Denver. They’ll need Zach Wilson to play at his best and mistake-free.

PREDICTION: EAGLES, 24-19

NEW YORK GIANTS AT BUFFALO (-14.5)

The Bills (3-2) can’t use jet lag as an excuse this week. Nothing is going right for the struggling Giants (1-4). Brian Daboll’s familiarity with Buffalo can’t help.

PREDICTION: BILLS, 32-13

(-2.5) DALLAS AT LOS ANGELES CHARGERS

Dak Prescott and the Cowboys (3-2) have to rebound from a humiliating loss to the 49ers by going back to California. The Chargers (2-2) are coming off a bye and have back-to-back measuring stick games vs. Dallas and Kansas City.

PREDICTION: Cowboys, 27-23
